Alright, so, I’ve been on this whole “inner goddess” journey lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. The title of this journey is “queen goddess.” At first, I was like, “What does that even mean?” But I was curious, so I started digging in.
I started with some basic research. There are these seven goddess archetypes, whatever, I’m focusing on the Queen part of it. Then I came across this idea of “self-love” and “self-care.” Now, I’ve always been pretty good at taking care of myself – you know, regular showers, eating my veggies, that sort of thing. But this was different. This was about really, truly loving myself, flaws and all.
So, I started small. I got myself a little notebook, and every day, I’d write down three things I liked about myself. At first, it was tough. I mean, what do I like about myself? But then it got easier. “I like my sense of humor,” “I like that I’m a good listener,” “I like that I make a mean spaghetti carbonara.” It sounds silly, but it made a difference.
Then, I started setting boundaries. This was a big one. I’m a people-pleaser by nature, always saying “yes” even when I wanted to say “no.” But I realized that was draining me. So, I practiced saying “no.” “No, I can’t work late tonight.” “No, I don’t want to go to that party.” It was hard at first, and some people didn’t like it, but I felt so much lighter.
I also started doing things that made me feel good. I took myself out to my little coffee shop and ordered my usual tea, just because I felt like it. I put on music and danced around my living room like a crazy person. I bought myself that dress I’d been eyeing, even though I didn’t really “need” it.
Self-Reflection and Inner Connection
And then there was the whole “self-reflection” part. This was probably the hardest, but also the most rewarding. I started spending time alone, just thinking. I’d go for walks in nature, sit by the lake, or just lie in bed and stare at the ceiling. I thought about my past, my present, my hopes, my fears, my dreams. I got real honest with myself. Sometimes it was painful, but it was also incredibly freeing.
Throughout this whole process, I started to notice a change in myself. I felt more confident, more empowered, more…goddess-like, I guess? I started carrying myself differently, speaking my mind more freely, and just generally feeling more comfortable in my own skin.
- Self-love practices: Writing down what I love about myself, giving myself treats, and doing things that bring me joy.
- Setting boundaries: Learning to say “no” and prioritize my own needs and well-being.
- Self-reflection: Spending time alone to understand myself better, confront my past, and embrace my true desires.
- Connecting with my inner self: Trusting my intuition and embracing my feminine power.
It’s not like I suddenly transformed into this perfect, flawless being. I still have my insecurities, my doubts, my bad days. But now, I know how to handle them better. I know how to love myself through them. And that, my friends, is what this whole “queen goddess” thing is all about. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about embracing your imperfections and owning your power. And let me tell you, it feels pretty damn good.
