I hate feeling rushed. Timelessness is something I value so much. Now I understand why. Too many responsibilities make me overwhelmed and stressed. Yet somehow this is glorified in society. Nope I won't take that on at the detriment of my divine feminine well-being.
This may sound small, but screening calls and deciding who I want to speak to, and when has helped me reduce stress and protect my femininity. I also switched off several app notifications and this has been truly life changing in reclaiming my time and reducing anxiety.
Agree! Taking 24 hours or more to respond when before I would have texted back right away makes me more sure ofbwjat I'm saying, and not be caught up in too much talk
I'm going to start doing this. My family have really been overstepping their bounds with me and it's time for me to start putting the hammer down. I need to protect myself and my calm much better than I am.
Wow. This video is right on time. I was just discussing with a friend that last year I stopped getting massages, journaling, etc and I lost that softness. I’m glad I have this awareness!
I am a Christian. In the morning, I do my devotions and read the Bible. It helps me to center things because for me it is important to remember that God is in control. Praying is also very important to me. 🙏
Movement is so important! I love dance classes, swimming and yoga to really activate that feminine fluidity. And I love that you recommended massages! I wish I’d known sooner how important having someone touch you deeply is. It’s an easy way to supercharge yourself at the begging of a work week or the end of a stressful week.
Love these tips! I also protect myself by saying "no" a lot. My family has always joked that its my favorite word lol another way is honoring my intuition, if my gut tells me something feels off or wrong, i listen first and ask questions later. Mina please, that lipstick color? Its everything on you! ❤
Great tips…thank you! The things that work for me are journaling, taking baths with Lush products at least twice a week and dancing! I love dancing to all kinds of music at home it brings me lots of joy!
What you said about excess accountability making you feel “dry” is so interesting and actually kind of literal if you look at it through the perspective of Chinese medicine! Too much work, stress, “go go go” energy is VERY Yang, Yang is fueled by fire energy and is very drying. Excess Yang (fire) LITERALLY extinguishes and dried up yin (moisture.) over working ourselves as women literally consumes our yin (which is replenished by sleep, rest, relaxation, fluid but soft movement) and dries up our fluids/moisture; this manifests as issues with blood (THE quintessential manifestation of yin/fluid life giving essence) which in turn creates stagnation in the womb among other places, it dries out our fertility fluids as well (cue why many women who struggle with infertility finally conceive once they’re able to relax,) and literally sucks the moisture out of our bodies (dry brittle hair, dehydrated skin, peeling nails etc.) our female DNA *literally* needs rest and peace of mind in order to be physically healthy and that’s not even just some woowoo hoky poky, it’s a very known tenet within one of the oldest and most complex medical systems of understanding the human body!
These are great tips! I think the "accountability" tip is a real game changer. It gives me a lot of anxiety- especially in my job- feeling pressured to commit to deadlines. I'm always afraid that I might have nothing to show for all my work. Would welcome tips on how to make that shift to be less accountable in my day job.
Thank you so much Mina. A good reminder. My struggle is that I'm drained by my friends, (I was the over-giver and I now give much less attention to others which is good), But having changed and getting better with my boundaries also made me feel more lonely. Yes, I can give to and nurture myself, but I'm on my own doing it, hence I fall back in old unhealthy patterns out of longing for connection with others in real time life....Any tips, suggestions? Lol.
This is me too. I am that friend that will drop everything to tend to others needs or problems. I often feel depleted and not valued. I want to pull back and focus on me and my family but I’m also afraid to lose my friendship circle. I am definitely feeling less desire to be the rescuer of all though.
Hi Char, I feel you on this. What I found was that you need to create a ‘gap’ (ie there is no one for a while), sit with the discomfort, (read, journal, nature walks etc) and one day you just get okay with being on your own. The second that happens, suddenly new people start showing up in your daily life as if by magic! It also helps if you join in person groups etc of things that interest you. But it’s a hard transition stage, I feel you. But it is worth it when you get to the other side! 😃
Dear, you may feel lonely at first but trust me, if you keep on focusing on yourself doing the things you love, you won't regret by not giving your friends too much attention. It is YOU that need it the most. I was in your position many years ago. Being a good friend is good but too much of it, will be burdensome. You'll feel resentful. They will be using you to build up their lives. So, why not take all the time in the world now, for yourself, loving yourself to the max💕
Thank you, Mina! You look stunning! Thanks for inspiring me to continue to take care of myself and continue to look 'juicy'! Cameras don't lie. Your radiance is beautiful and admirable! I take care of my femininity by journaling. I am working on being disciplined and consistent at it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Mina!! I'm all day waiting your new videos. This is so amazing, the way I'm feeling and the things going on at the same time! Thanks to your angels that made me find you❤🙏
I need more affection in my marriage. He is a wonderful provider for my kids and me.. but little affection with words or touch. I may need to book a massage soon. And I also need "my company to be valued.". I love how you put that. Trying to fix my marriage by "leaning back" and trying to fall in love with myself. This is really hard. :(
Thank you,Mina! I needed this to relieve the presure.I hold myself to a high standart and always believed I needed to do more and excel faster...Now I now I can let things flow naturally in this direction🙌😇
This one is really great and just in time! The 20’s video you did is also really good even for 40’s women if they didn’t learn already- I learned a thing or two on there.
I want to get married and find a good provider so that I can be in the future a stay at home mom/wife. Even tho I love what I do (I work with children at Kindergarten) I live so far away that I have to wake up at 5 am everyday and have to go to with the train 1h30min. It's so tiring, I can't even drive 🙁
@@dream-cu7miFirst of all you are not all men, my dad wanted my mom to be a stay home mom, but she wanted to work. So it depends on the person and his/her values. Being a mom/wife is not easy. Doing chores all day cooking and cleaning is not easy. Specially raising kids, you need a lot of patience and energy. I have been taking care of my 4 siblings since I was 12 and I perfectly know how it is to stay at home and be raising kids. If you want a power woman you do you, but women and men will never be the same because men can't create children with their bodies and in general women don't have testosterone to be working all day and make money. Even if they do they will be looking old and stressed at a young age. We are different Plus guys who have a job and responsibilities don't have time to put comments on the internet, etc.

They might be more masculine in one way but really feminine in another way you didn't get to witness yet. But of course only be friends with people you appreciate and feel good with :)
