Wanna know how I remain consistently feminine and soft even on my worst days? ( and I have a lot of worst days Hun!)
✨ It's not because I keep ALL of my hair and nail appointments as a standard.(because that's as important sis!)
✨ It's not because I am never tried by people and situation around me that intentionally test my feminine boundaries because they just wanna see what my hand really do ( I never tussle...I am too pretty for that!)
What makes all the difference is that I create as much ease and joy in my life as possible everyday. I constantly look for ways to make my life easier and more pleasurable. This allows me to rest in my feminine energy and thrive as a feminine woman.
As black women living this American experience, we know all too often what it means to work ourselves to the bone and not see the tangible benefits of it. Really and truly the only thing that we get from hustling and grinding is high blood pressure, stress related illnesses, and the empty promises of what could be. As your traditional femininity we are learning to ditch hustle culture and embrace something better... Grace and Ease!
4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SEEK AN EASIER LIFE AS A FEMININE WOMAN
1) IT ALLOWS YOU TO REST IN YOUR FEMININE ENERGY
This is where we want to rest... not in stress and anxiety but in our femininity. Planning your days and allowing yourself to rest if needed helps to promote an easier life. Besides what's the point of working hard and being stressed? Wo does it benefit? Does it work for you and your family? Is it something that sustainable? These are some questions that you may what to ask yourself. Here's 3 reasons why you should wanna rest in your feminine energy:
Resting in your femininity allows you to focus on the things that matter to you the most like family, friends and your relationship with God
2. It allows you to recharge and replenish your mind and soul.b Having time to relax and indulge in things that really you happy gives your life meaning and purpose
3. Resting in you femininity allows you to come out from fake femininity and REALLY embrace the feminine woman within. It's allows you to become authentic and true to yourself
2) DECREASES STRESS RELATED ILLNESSES
I am sure you know by now that black women have the highest cases of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease in the country. If you don believe me... let be give you some facts:
Over 60,000 Black women has been chronicled in our report,IndexUS
1 out of 2 Black Women suffers from some type pf heart disease, much caused by stress in some way
Black and Brown women are literally dying at alarming rates due to illnesses and many times these illnesses are stress related. Stress from work, stress from relationships, stress from children and families are viewed as being apart of womanhood but it should not be. I am literally begging my femininity clients to take time and rest but they say things like "If I rest, who will do XYZ...". The answer is... whoever you want to do it! It doesn’t ALWAYS have to be YOU! Learn to ask for help!
MY TRUTH: I have CPTSD, and I sometimes have a hard time just waking up feeling happy some days. But because I know that my energy is limited most of the time, I ask for help and plan my days with as much leisure as possible. Honestly, as I am writing this post, I am literally feeling my stress levels rise BUT immediately after this I plan on resting with my favorite book of the month (Professional Trouble Maker by: Luvvie Ajayi Jones). So, I know what it's like to feel like you have to always be going but remember... It's will get done, but maybe NOT TODAY! lol 😂
3) IT INCREASES CREATIVITY
I would definitely consider myself a creative. All my life I've been designing or creating one thing or another. I create poetry, write books and change my home decor per season. Nevertheless, there have been times when my creativity have been quenches because I was too stressed out or I just had too much on my plate at the moment. Learning to rest in my femininity and allowing grace and ease to become apart of my daily life helped my creative juices to flow. And when I was creative and made time to create shit... I felt accompanied.
Do you implement creative time in your weekly schedule? You should! Maybe you might wanna invest in a creative planner in which you allow yourselves to plan creative time. It is necessary Hun!
4) IS YOUR INHERITANCE
I know this to be true...Our ancestors did not work themselves to death just for us to do the same even tho we can choose not to. Why stress yourself out with things that don't really matter. Don't do it Hun! It is our birthright to rest and we should be happy to do it. Our ancestors dreamed of resting and now we have a golden opportunity to do so for them.
Let's talk about the benefits of resting:
Improve Better Mental Health
Increase Concentration
Improve Memory
Create a Healthier Immune System
Improve Metabolism
Enhance Your Mood
Reduces Stress and Anxiety
Helps Reduce Chronic Pain
Stronger Cardiovascular System
So, living a life of grace and ease is not just a trend or a fad... It's necessary and it's your inheritance. So rest Black Girl rest!!!
