Why Be More Feminine?
We are in a place in time where being more feminine is heavily desired. The reasons for this could be because of the harsh, uncertain World we live in right now. People, women in particular, are craving more softness all around. There’s this desire to be around those more feminine because of the nurturing, gentle, and caring manner of people like this. And, it also brings us back to living a simpler life. Appreciating the moment you’re in and romantisizing everything. So how do you simplify being more feminine? Let’s go back to to the basics.
Come with me and we’ll start from scratch.
Do these 9 things:
- Tapping into what being feminine means to you
- Learning to let go of old, non-feminine habits
- Simplifying your life
- Create micro habits
- Find strength in being feminine
- Romanticize your life
- Start feminine habits
- Dress feminine chic
- Find your feminine self in nature
Be More Feminine 1. Tapping Into Your Feminine Side

First things first. You’ll need to tap into your feminine side. In order to be more feminine, you need to decide what being feminine means to you. Then, you need to come up with a plan. It’s hard to get anywhere in life without at least a small semblance of a plan.
Grab your journal and write down what being feminine means to you. Next, think in small measures, write down at least 5-9 things you can start doing today to get there. Take this article as your guide.
Here’s an example what my journal might read if I were to start over and take my own advice.
- simplify life by cutting out what no longer serves me, or causes me unheeded stress. I will cut back my obligations and side hustles to a more practical, less stressful number. I’ll only say yes if it’s something I like to do, or that won’t cause me stress.
- Decide what’s more important to me in my life. For me, it is to spend as much time with my children before they are all grown and it’s too late to be the stay at home mom I’ve always desired to be. I won’t be taking on a full time, or even part time job that takes me away from my kids and family. (I won’t get this time back with them).
- I will simplify my closet and only store clothes in my closest that makes me feel good, that compliments my skin, hair, eyes, and body shape. I will work on my capsule wardrobe and focus on quality over quantity.
- I will wear clothes that make me feel feminine and not overly masculine.
- I will create healthy micro habits that don’t take a lot of time but make a big difference (morning routine, skin care routine, exercise habits, healthy eating habits, bedtime routine)
- I will get outside more often and take a walk outside, work in the garden, take kids and pets to the park and spend more time outdoors
Learn to Let Go

When you learn to let go of what no longer serves you, you make room for what is important to you most. The benefits of doing this are plenty. My favorite benefit is that after you let go of habits, activities, jobs, tasks, and even people, that no longer serve your greater goals in life, you are free to focus on the important stuff and RECLAIM LOST TIME.
Okay, so you may not be able to get time back wasted on things that fell outside your life goals, but moving forward, it’s nothing but YOUR TIME, YOUR WAY!
If I were to write down in my hand journal what this might look like, it would go something like this:
Important
- my husband and Kids
- My closest friends who I don’t have to force a friendship with (name, name, name)
- My pets
- my hobbies (horses, sewing, baking, cooking, decorating my home)
- Playing music
- Blogging 1-2 x per week
- Editing novels and working with editors
- Teaching music
- Substitute teaching to earn _$$$_ monetary goals
Things I might consider not as important or no longer serving me…
- Phase out or at the least, don’t waste my energy on people who are toxic or don’t align with my values. No forced friendships. People make time for you if it was important to them… (name, name, name)
- Quit wasting time and money on hobbies or projects I don’t enjoy or am not good at
- Limit the number of students I’m willing to teach music to
- Limit the number of days I’m willing to sub at schools
- Don’t force a blog post or writing a story I’m dreading or not feeling
- Possibly quit extra side hustles or jobs that I dread or stress about
Simplifying Your Life to be more feminine!

Simplifying your life often involves letting go of what no longer serves you, which can help reduce stress. I remember a time driving with my family when I suddenly felt breathless and panicked, thinking I might pass out. I pulled over, took deep breaths, and reassured myself that I was safe. This experience highlighted the need to manage my stress and focus on my well-being. Although I’m still learning to destress, I’ve made significant progress in listening to my body and simplifying my life.
Create small habits, say no when necessary, and limit your daily tasks to 5 (excluding chores). Simplifying your life fosters a sense of control. Also, aim to arrive 20 minutes early to appointments and give yourself plenty of time to ready for events.. Check out this previous post for how to simplify your life: Classy Habits To Start Today
Create Micro Habits

Change does not need to happen by making huge, grandiose changes. Instead, you can start by making small, micro changes that will add up over time. In fact, I insist that you do. By making micro changes to your life, the tasks don’t seem so daunting. You won’t feel like your giving anything up, stressing yourself out, and you are more likely to stick to your goals. Chances are, you already have a pretty good understanding about what you need to do to reach your goals for being more feminine. Especially if you are reading this blog post.
Try making micro changes by adding in one new habit each month. Here, take a look at my own personal goals to see what I’m talking about…
January, trade out your second cup of coffee for a ritual grade matcha green tea daily.
February, Only have a glass of wine (or other alcohol) during special occasions or limit to one day on week.
March, Have lemon water and capsaicin pills before breakfast, add other supplements for health, get outside 20 minutes min each day
April, Choose outfits that make me feel good everyday, never wear active wear or yoga clothes out of the gym or house
May, Get more protein and be more consistent with strength training each week (3-4 days a week) mostly just have fun being active since the weather is warming up 🙂
Find Strength in being Feminine

As a society, the closer we get to a boss babe, leave the house and work as much and as hard as a man, mentality, the more we step back from our natural urges as a woman to be feminine. Furthermore, we start to view being a soft girl, or being feminine as a bad thing, as though it’s weak to be a soft girl or feminine.
There’s nothing wrong with being an ambitious woman who has always dreamed of being a boss babe and working a corporate life, but at what cost? The problem lies within not being able to balance your needs as a woman, caregiver, mother, wife and putting your own health and wellness over the boss babe corporate dream. Women often feel obligated to keep up with a man, and we can. Moreover, women feel obligated to do everything the men do, and better, and we can.
Why are we trying to prove anything to anyone?

Of course we can do everything a man can do and even better sometimes. But let’s not degrade a man. Let’s not make it a mission to prove to them or to anyone that we are capable.
Instead, what if we proved that we can balance our lives better. What if we prove that we can put our health first, our families, out emotions, and prove that we can balance work and personal life. A feminine woman isn’t designed to work 90 hour weeks (and why would you want to?) Feminine women are not designed to get the same amount of sleep as a man. We need more sleep then men. The point is, stop trying to prove to anyone that you can do it and do it well or better. Let’s teach our daughters that it’s okay to have boundaries, to want more sleep, to balance work, family and personal health and wellness with career dreams.
Romanticize Your Life as a way to be more feminine

Is there anything more feminine than romanticizing everything you do? The word romance itself is such a feminine word that I get happy little chills every time I say it or hear it. By taking the time to live in each moment, breathe it in, take in every little detail, you are romanticizing it. It’s as simple as that. Slow down and let yourself be at peace when you are doing anything. From cooking dinner to pulling weeds in the garden; when you’re at the park with your kids, to taking a solo bike ride to town for a fresh loaf of bread from the bakery…
Enjoy all the senses surrounding you and practice committing each moment to memory. When doing this, you will make the most of your time, take the stress out of events or everyday tasks, and practice being more grateful for each moment.
Start Feminine Habits

If you’re new to tapping into your feminine urges, no problem, we will start with micro habits. Let’s dive right into these feminine habits you can start doing today that will be sure to fire up your feminine urges.

Last But Not Least for 9 Ways to Be More Feminine Now, Find Yourself in Nature

Making the most of every waking moment can be exhausting, and that’s understandable. In that case, it’s best to start small. When you step outside for some fresh air, truly take in each moment. Focus on every beam of sunlight filtering through the trees and every speck of dust caught in it. Have you ever really noticed how beautiful a tree looks in the wind, or how everything seems to glitter after a rainstorm?
If you are looking for more creative ways to get outside, try taking your computer or work outside with you. Read a book in the garden or by the pool…the point is, be intentional with your outdoor time and open yourself up to appreciating the world around you.
