How to Balance Your Masculine and Feminine Energy For Productivity
Are you running too much masculine energy? Or a little too in touch with your divine feminine? What does that even mean? We all have feminine and masculine energy within us, and it has nothing to do with gender. Both energies are always present but often there is one that is dominating your actions. Perhaps you have a male friend who finds it easy to sit with his emotions and nurture. Or you have a girlfriend who is super ambitious and always pushing herself to reach for more. When we learn about what these energies are and how to balance them, we can increase our productivity, happiness, and create a successful life.
The difference between masculine and feminine energies
Masculine energy is characterized by a logical mind. It’s driven and focused. If you have a high amount of masculine energy, you are getting things done on your to do list and accomplishing the tasks you’ve set out to accomplish. Feminine energy is characterized by being in aligned with your flow and doesn’t have a beginning or end. Feminine energy is circular and runs in cycles.
When we are operating more so in our masculine energy, we only have a certain destination we can get to. We look outside ourselves for the answers to our questions and are not connected with your source. Ultimately, it pushes you away from listening to your intuition and your body.
When we connect with our feminine energy, it opens us up and lets us operate more in line with how our body is feeling.
How to spot when you're operating from a wounded place
There are certain characteristics that fall into either the masculine or feminine energy types. It’s important to be able to identify which one you are operating from, but you can also be operating from a wounded masculine or a wounded feminine energy- and these look different than the traditional masculine or feminine energies. A wounded masculine energy actually ends up looking more like feminine energy. Often what you need is not actually what you want. In order to overcome that wounded masculine energy is through taking on more feminine energy. The same goes in the opposite direction.
How to balance your energies depending on where you are dominant
If you’re feeling like you have an overabundance of energy in one area or another, I suggest doing some journaling and meditation. If you have an overabundance of masculine energy you can learn to delegate, let people fail, and don’t worry- you’ll always have work to do. Something else I love to do when I’m feeling overly masculine, is to do something I do only as a hobby. Challenge yourself to do something you’ve never done before.
How to integrate this way of life into your everyday
It really takes time to put in the work to figure out what you really need. The biggest thing I can do to really figure out what sort of energy I need is through journaling. I can tap into my energy- feminine or masculine energies in an instance because I know what I need.
