The ripple effect that happens when a woman doesn’t fulfill her needs, respect her limits and honour her desires can be so damaging to everyone around her.
She silences herself and then becomes resentful. Resentment turns into passive agressive behaviours. Then we call her impatient.
She says yes when she really wants to say no and sacrifices what is best for her. She exhausts herself and burns out. Then we call her unstable.
She ignores the inner wisper from her intuition and shuts off her superpower. She wakes up years later realizing that her life has been built for others and there is no space in that life that she built for herself. Then we call her selfish when she checks out.
She keeps going and taking on more when her body is screaming to stop. Then she breaks down, cries and gets angry (god forbid). Then we call her dramatic and emotionally unstable.
She takes care of everyone with her whole heart before taking care of herself and then no one does the same for her and she feels unworthy of that same love and support. She gets frustrated. Then she is called controlling and manipulative for trying to get a drop of what she needs.
A woman who takes care of her needs, respects her limits and prioritizes her desires holds a powerful space that feels safe to all. She shines bright and doesn’t need anyone to do anything to make her feel any certain way because she does that for herself already. So when people do, it just overflows her already full cup. That full cup not only nutures her in every way that she needs but overflows onto anyone around her or in her world effortlessly.
A woman who does not do that for herself suffers and then others suffer around her. She loses the incredible power of her female energy and shuts off her magic.
Dear beautiful woman who is reading this right now, how can you start filling your cup today in small ways? I know you think that by doing so you are taking away from others, you are being selfish and acting like a princess but actually it’s the opposite. By treating yourself like a queen, you will give more to those around you with way less effort. It’s a win win for all, I promise you.
You no longer need to sacrifice anything you need or desire to appear as a “good girl” or a “good person”.
Fill that cup and you will shine brighter that you ever imagined and that brightness will change the world around you ❥
Lots of love xo
Jenn
A beautiful reminder!
