There are 3 Key Questions that
help guide and direct our minds and hearts when it comes to discovering and
fulfilling our Personal Destiny as women.
They are:
1.
What are your deepest, innermost yearnings?
2.
What is it that God(dess), or the Higher Intelligence in Life, is
calling you to do that inspires you?
3.
What needs of others inspire you to joy and action?
In my last post, I spelled these out with suggested ways to begin to
process them. Hopefully, you’ve begun
this self-examination process.
Once you have figured out your answer to the Big Three above, you are
ready to put structures in place to birth your Feminine Magic into
reality. First, however, there are 6
foundational questions that will prepare you for action and guide your first
steps from a fully Feminine Power perspective.
These questions, by the way, do not relate just to the Big Three, but
also to any goal or intention you set for yourself. They bring forth special feminine ways of
preparing and fortifying yourself for action.
1.
What would it LOOK like to be realizing your own greatest potential?
Close your eyes. Visualize yourself having birthed your
intention into reality. Involve all
your
senses: sight, sound, touch, etc. Make this image of the future as real and
authentic as you can in your mind’s eye.
The more you visualize the “finished project” in motion, the more your
Subconscious will adopt it as real and draw your behavior in that direction
without your thinking about it. The
more motivated and committed you will become.
Step 1.
Get a clear vision of your final outcome. Spend a few moments visualizing it at the
start of every day.
2.
What would it FEEL like to be realizing your own greatest potential?
You may combine this
question with the one above. Bring ALL your feelings, both physical
and
emotional, into the process. This adds
to the image’s power, and strengthens the bond with your subconscious and your motivation
and resilience. Feelings are a very potent Female Power Base. Involve them fully in this process.
Step 2.
Include your feelings in the Image above. Let yourself soak in the feelings just like
soaking in a warm bubble bath.
3.
Who would I need to be to begin to create this?
This is a particularly
feminine question. This is about who
and what you are versus what
you’re doing.
What personal qualities would you need to be exercising to give birth to
your passion? Courageous, loving, generous,
determined, focused, connected perhaps.
Decide those Tigress qualities and start exercising your feminine
“muscle” here. If you need to develop
some of those qualities more to be more effective, start doing so. If you need assistance, coaching or therapy
can help.
Step 3.
This is the Inner Work portion.
Determine if there are personal qualities you would need to strengthen
in order to move forward with focus, determination and courage. Put a plan in
place to develop those qualities, and start acting the plan.
4.
What is the growth I would need to commit to in order to fully birth my
dream?
“Growth” can take several
forms: knowledge, new skills, or
qualities that you identified
above in
the prior question that need to be developed more. Growth can also involve letting go and
delegating some of the tasks that you may find hard or unappealing. So many of us are used to doing it all
ourselves. By so doing, we may be
slowing ourselves down or getting lost in the Jungle of Overwhelm.
Step 4.
This is the Outer Work portion.
Carefully and clearly determine and define your development plan. Make it stepwise and developmental. When the
plan is in place, put it in motion. BTW,
there is no need to wait till Step 3 is complete before starting Step 4.
Working Step 4 will actually reinforce your growth in Step 3.
5.
What are the resources I need?
“Resources” can be
material, human, and financial. Maybe
you need a certain space, or
new tools
or equipment. Maybe you need
information resources. Perhaps you need
a Virtual Assistant or Partner that can complement you with the skills you
lack, or provide just needed extra womanpower.
Need money? How much?
Step 5.
Determine the resources and the sources you can draw upon to obtain
them. Put a plan in place to obtain them and get moving.
6.
What support do I need from Others?
Here’s where the Feminine
Power of the collective field comes into play.
Look to your
connections
to help you supply the resources you need.
Don’t just stop after using the collective field for the resources you
listed above. Moral support is also
important. Perhaps you need coaching,
or maybe an accountability partner to help keep you on track. Maybe you need a Mastermind Group or a
“Board of Directors” to provide checks and balances, new ideas, a wider
perspective. Whatever.
Step 6.
Create a support network, and bring on an accountability partner. It
could be a coach, or a close girlfriend, or your life partner. Commit to share your progress with her or
him, and agree to let that person hold you accountable for deadlines and
actions. Invite your network’s feedback,
and listen well.
Again, I suggest writing out your
answers and start systematically getting busy step by step. That will be the subject of my next Blog.
You Rock, Tigress!
Rise Up and ROAR!
