Recap

Week 1: Create Femininity Goals. Find an accountability partner

Week 2: Print or Buy a planner. Make sure you write down and plan to do things that encompass your femininity. How many times will you cook for your family so they can practice dinner etiquette? How many minutes will you hold each child a day (10-15 minutes?) How will you polish your femininity EACH day, how will you spend one on one time with your spouse each day? Have you made time to go out with a female this week to talk girl talk? Make a plan, be intentional, and write it down.

Week 3: Be more present- Be aware of your surroundings. Don't be a phone zombie. Practice makes permanent. Constantly work on cultivating your femininity by being very present with DH, SO, your children, and friends. Choose human interactions vs social media interactions this week.

Week 24: Be like Children; Not Childish but Childlike



___________________________

Playtime is very important. It helps you stay light, airy, fun, and playful while getting away from the logic and more into the heart by focusing on your feelings. As an adult, when we make time for play, we think of playing games on your iphone or watching TV. However, take a step back. What are ways you could "play" like a child? Have a tickle fest? Play board games? Color in a adult coloring book? Paint? Go skiing.

https://fascinatingwomanhood.com/bl...d-mini-class-why-is-childlikeness-so-powerful

What is childlikeness? It’s a way of responding to another person, particularly our husbands or potential husbands. It borrows the charm and innocence of a child that is devoid of sarcasm, bitterness or hate—yet gets the message across.

One example was a man who woke up grumpy and took it out on his wife. She responded with, “You mean thing. I’m going to burn your pancakes if you aren’t nice to me”.

Another example of a childlike response to an insensitive or rude comment a husband might make about the tough pork chops his wife just served him could be, “How could you be so mean to me? I only made these old pork chops because I thought you liked them”. There are endless responses to endless thoughtless behaviors.

Of course, the way these responses are said makes a difference too. Childlikeness is mostly pretense, not real anger. You recognize that he is just taking you for granted or taking something out on you, not thinking about what he says.

Never use words that belittle his masculinity such as calling him “stupid, ugly, dumb, etc.” Words that compliment his maleness work best and might include: “You brute”, or “You big meanie” and other phrases that make him seem bigger than he already is. Exaggerate by saying things like “I’ll never speak to you again” or “How could you be so mean to a poor little girl like me?”

Sometimes women look at their husbands from under lowered lashes after they’ve delivered their childlike line just to see his response, then huff out of the room when they see an amused expression on his face.

Some women have told me they are so scared of trying childlikeness for the first time, they practice beforehand. But that’s perfectly okay. I’ve heard many women say, once they got the hang of it, they almost look forward to their husbands being thoughtless again so they can deliver another childlike response and see the amusement and then tender comeback from their husbands.

Study childlikeness. Practice childlikeness. It’s an amazing part of Fascinating Womanhood and can not only diffuse those many situations that result in human thoughtlessness, but can deepen and strengthen your marriage.

*Word of caution: Childlikeness is not for situations where deep hurt has occurred such as if you just found out he has cheated on you or has seriously abused you.

Some Examples:

Example 1: Have joy when your man buys you a present.
Over exaggerate it. "Ohhhh this is the most beautiful set of flowers I’ve ever seen." Girl those flowers aren't THAT beautiful. It doesn't matter. Lie. It's part of your feminine expertise. You have to be an actor.
Example 2: Play it up "I just love it when my man takes care of me and buys me flowers!" We know you're used to this behavior. You're a feminine woman after all. You deserve and are used to this. We get it. Still play it up.
Example 3: Be like a little girl at times. Kiss him, give him nonsexual touch, and swoon.
“Big stubborn man, you’re not going to get angry at little poor me.”
Example 4: Wink at him sometimes and then run off giggling like you just can't stop laughing.
Example 5: *Only do this if both of you all are playful like this* Run in the room and shoot him with a water gun or throw water on him. Scream and giggle when he tries to chase you. Be playful.
Example 6: Make things that’s only said between you and him like you allare back in school. Chimamanda’s book the girl calls her boyfriend ceiling. Everyone always asked why and she said it was because he was sooo y’all and smirked to him. That wasn’t the answer. It was something sexual but it helped build intimacy between the boy and girl
Example 7: Peacelover said every time she works out her husband playfully throws water on her to”cool her off”. She throws water back and laughs lol and just takes time to play with him.
Example 8: Just act silly. Be playful. Tickle each other or allow yourself to be tickled. Get the rent/mortgage money and”make it rain” on your man. Play hide and seek. Act out some scenes. Just BE PRESENT.
Example 9: Say stuff like *pouts* I’m never going to talk to you again. Then look up at him with those big pretty brown eyes to pretend like you’re checking if he is hearing you.
Example 10: Let’s say he wants you to drive. Talk in a feminine seeet sing song child-like voice “Oh baby I’m too scared to drive. What if something hits us. You drive way better than me. I’m just too scared.” Be an actress

If you're not in the habit of asking your man to do things for you (probably because you feel he should already know or be doing these things....) make sure to put please at the end. For example. Get the groceries out the car on your way out......pleeeeeeease (big strong man). Wink at him. Make sure you look him in the eye and be girly. Play it up a little bit.

Week 24 Challenge
1. Practice saying some kind of child-like phrase once a day.
2. Practice asking your SO or a man to do something for you that you would probably normally do each day. (Can you pass me the loaf of bread...please)
3. How could YOU play one day this week? How could you PLAY with others?

How is the challenge going you all. I think this week may be difficult for us to grasp. Can anyone share a few ideas or examples on how this can be done without looking or feeling quite silly? Or maybe even give tips on overcoming feeling silly as it relates to being more child-like in certain situations.

This reminds me of Gottman’s 4 horsemen in terms of conflict resolution.

Idk about childlike phrases, but I think a childlike aura is a bit easier for me. A level of carelessness, giving up certain responsibilities, allowing him to plan things with no involvement, going with the flow and not asking a thousand questions in effort to control.

That’s exactly what I was asking for. Thank you so much for that!

Hope everyone is doing well


Hopefully the more feminine you become, the more well taken care of by yourself and others you will become. Happy Wednesday!

Interesting. This week's topic reminds me of the young lady in this video:



Been thinking about the video a lot and it simply exudes carelessness, which is what a lot of women nowadays are missing.

So many people were proud of Naomi Wadler, the 11-year-young gun control activist. But I felt so sad, she looks like she's carrying the entire burden of the world on her shoulders and that is simply not how I want to raise my children. Or how I grew up or how I would like any other black girl to grow up. Though I hail from a war torn country, my parents did everything to shield me from the harsh realities of life.

Have to go to bed now, but will come back to post some more concerning this topic.

I agree about the sample phrases. A child-like aura to me means an open and playful outlook on life and attitude. Sometimes we are so busy "adulting" with daily responsibilities that we forget to have fun with each other. Examples could be taking an interest in something he likes, playfully flirting or giving praise or plan a fun activity to laugh together.
 
As a teenager I noticed a lot of the white girls I went to high school with did this child likeness (especially with anger) and got favorable results from male teachers and other hs boys. In as much I’ve tried this at young ages and it didn’t work as well in with WM teachers, Black boys or in black culture IMO. I’ve had black boys tell me I was holding back by doing it and to stop or that I was “dramatic.” White boys were most receptive.


Well, I tried it with DH last Sunday after the challenge was posted about a small thing—we had crab leg clusters for dinner. While he’s an expert at cracking them, I struggle. Ive found that one particular leg in the clusters is easiest. However, he eats all the “easy” legs of every cluster and throws the rest of the cluster back. LOL. I said, “You know You’re better at cracking crab legs than I am and you eat all the easy ones, you big crab leg monster!” He looked at me strange, laughed and started cracking and feeding me crab legs. SCORE!


I need to try it with something more serious...
 
Off this week’s topic, but still within femininity training:

In “fully trained mouth” news, DH has lost two sets of keys that were the only set we have and I have just helped him look for them! I’ve not uttered a word besides we’d have to call the dealership to get the information on how to get the set for the car remade.

I’m proud of myself bc I’m really irritated.

ETA: he found the set to the car. The other set to our garage and gates are still MIA.

I need some practice on this childlike response thing.

Here is an example that we go through far too much and it happened this evening. We needed to get some items from the grocery store. I tend to like to go places alone when I have a to-do list. I have young children and it can be a hassle to get things done and watch them.

DH prefers that we go places as a family. He just wants to go. I have a task that I need to accomplish. We have two different ways of thinking.

Anyway, we get to the store and DH is standing around. I have DD in the cart so I start getting things we need. DH is getting samples. Umm...Cool. We need drinks. We're all picking out a drink that we want for an event we'll be attending. DH is standing there. I have mine and the kids. He's looking, then he's standing next to the cart. Umm...are you getting something? He says yeah then starts looking again. So I walk away to get something else (raw nuts from the bins). I leave the cart close to me, I have both kids, and I am scooping. The kids are trying to peek in the bins, DS wants to open the bins, I look up and DH is standing at the cart. I have no childlike response in my head. Not one. What I say is "What ARE you doing?" Dude says, "Watching the cart." At this point I'm done. I say, "Watch your kids instead of the cart that has been sitting here since before you came to 'watch' it." I could have responded better but y'all...ugh!!

I feel bad, but he can't come with me NO MO'!!

I can’t think of an actual childlike response with words, so I’d probably ask for what I want in a sing-songy/childlike voice. “Haaaaaandsome! I need you to watch the children, NOT the cart,” with lots of emphasis on the vowels.

Lol that’s perfect actually.

I would have phrased it in a question though if I can. I slip up though.

“Can you watch the children and not the cart my biiiiig strrooooong husband?” Blink your eyes really adorably.

Lol this used to be me a lot. Is it a reason why you don’t find shopping enjoyable? What about grocery shopping do you find unenjoyable? Can you mentally take time to set aside and think about why you focus on the end result and not the experience of nurturing your family through choosing healthy food choices?

I think the problem may be in how you’re thinking about shopping. I get it because my little one distracts me when I am shopping. I can do it faster when I do it alone, but there are so many memories made when we do it together.

What is the true root of this problem?

I think the problem is in me wrangling children while DH stands there...watching the cart. This isn't limited to shopping. I actually find shopping enjoyable. The grocery store is a task to me when I have the whole family because I'm wrangling children who are seconds from knocking down the display because they are playing around, DS from opening candy, one of them from getting hurt.

But let's put it in the context of us leaving church. A few weeks ago we were leaving church. I attend a mega church which means mega traffic. We HAVE to hold DS's hand when we open the doors because he wants to run. I have to ask DH to hold DS's hand, to which he replies, "I've got him." But instead of focusing on his child, he's holding the door open for the woman behind us. And he doesn't have DS's hand. I'm now running toward the street where my child is now at the edge of the sidewalk. I'm not thinking about "I love how we come to church and I can worship with my family." I'm pissed!!! And my words show him that I'm pissed. I have no childlike words because you let my actual child run toward the street.

And honestly, DH is a great dad. At home, he's the one that gets up with the kids early. He plays with them all the time. When we go out, it's like he doesn't know these kids need boundaries and protection.

Perfect! Now I think we’re getting closer to the root of things. So you like shopping, but are you saying you don’t like how you feel neglected at times because DH does not properly protect your peace? This is in the sense of keeping the kids safe when in public.

I understand your frustration and you are right in being frustrated. This is abuse and it should not be tolerated. It needs to addressed now. You deserve to be protected in all ways. He is abusing you but probably unbeknownst to him.

I suggest you go back up to this week’s challenge and read the bottom bolded area: Word of caution: Childlikeness is not for situations where deep hurt has occurred such as if you just found out he has cheated on you or has seriously abused you.

Because this is an example of abuse, this is not where you would be childlike.

I hope some older more experienced ladies chime in on this situation and give solutions. From my end, I would be very soft (I would straight up cry), give up some responsibility and let him figure it out. I know this is sort of hard to do though when it involves the safety of your child but my mindset towards this is that you have to indirectly lead him to looking out for your needs, protecting your peace, and looking out for the kids to keep you at peace. When he sees you cry he will know this is serious. When he sees you gasp or cry because he loves you he should be compelled to fix it. Men are natural fixers. This is especially true for those he loves.

Crying and saying something like,” Oh my gosh I was so afraid that something would happen to Jr.” (Or xyz you get my drift) would work right here. When he steps in and grabs the children give him positive feedback. “I really respect your leadership when you do xyz to protect the children”

Actions often speak louder than words. I know you are frustrated and sometimes your words may reflect this. However, Harsh words usually don’t get men to change their actions. Actions do. Always keep the end result in mind. You may feel silly at first but I suggest you cry. Cry. And Cry again lol. Follow up by stroking his ego. When you feel SAFE APPRECIATED AND SECURE that is when and only when you will be able to act in a childlike manner to DH without feeling resentful.

Shoutout to @PeaceLover! My little nephew was born today! You will be blessed abundantly, powerful beyond measure, and extremely smart my little man!

OAN: As my accountability partner she helped me this week. We were checking in with each other and she heard me ask the caregiver, “How was DS today? How did everything go?” I wasn’t trying to make it sound like it, but that was phrased like I was not confident in how DS acts. Like he possibly could have done something wrong that day.

It’s all about a mindshift.

My child always has a good day. My child is a wonderful child. I believe this. I expect this. I know this.

I don’t have to ask certain questions because I know these things. “How was you all’s day” was more appropriate. It subconsciously says I expect that y’all had a great day because he is my child and my child is well loved, well behaved, and well taken care of.

She pointed that out to me and immediately I noticed what I was saying to others consciously and subconsciously. Thank you beloved.
 
This seems like a good site to look at concerning feminine energy:

http://goddessliving108.com/post/89733634098/70-ways-for-a-woman-to-become-happy

Here is a blogpost she wrote

70 Ways to Increase Your Feminine Energy



1. Getting a massage. Vedic scriptures explain that female body requires regular touch; otherwise the energy within it doesn’t flow correctly.


2. Visiting a hair salon. Beautiful hair is more than just appearances. The hair of a woman is the reflection of her thoughts.


3. Getting a manicure. We see our hands more often than any other part of the body. When they are taken care of every glance at hands and fingers makes us feel good.


4. Communicating with other women in a positive manner. Mutual energy exchange between women makes them feel more fulfilled. Men need time alone to understand themselves, while women need to be around other women who understand them.

5. Long phone conversations. Even though they may seem like a waste of time, they are very important. Unexpressed emotions build up inside a woman. Whenever she doesn’t express them in a safe environment she expresses them to a man, which is not always the best idea.

6. Walking. A woman needs to go outside at least once a day. Females are very connected to the nature and have the capacity to replenish energy in the nature.


7. Listening to music. Beautiful meditative music has a great power of calming a woman’s mind. Make it a rule to enjoy listening to music at least once a day.

8. Refusing to participate in serious conversations. It is very beneficial for a woman not to be serious and instead pay attention to little unsubstantial things. Keeping mind free from serious thoughts and leaving business talk at work is the key to feeling young.

9. Taking a bath with essential oils and rose petals. It is a necessity and not just a selfish action. Once you allow yourself to enjoy it you will notice how much happiness you can radiate.


10. Meditations, especially designed for women and lead by other women. Meditation in the nature is especially beneficial.


11. Singing and taking singing lessons. This opens up the throat chakra and clears up the energy buildup of unspoken words.

12. Visiting stores even when you don’t need anything. Learn how to enjoy the process and not just spend money to fulfill your needs. Try on new things and enjoy your beauty in them.


13. Talking to a female psychologist. A wise woman can help you look at any situation from a different perspective.

14. Dancing of any kind. Learning to dance is the best way to express your sexuality.


15. Taking yoga for mind and body. Yoga practice for women is especially beneficial when they have female instructors. Male instructors only teach how to exercise the body; meanwhile, female teachers also share their energy.

16. Attending regular meetings with girlfriends. When a woman maintains strong female friendships she builds up a great circle of support. When women get together they not only support each other, but also exchange their positive qualities.


17. Taking care of flowers. Having a small garden or even a pot with plants is a great way of enhancing your female energy.


18. Spending time around your happily married friends. This is especially important for single women. The Vedas explain that family energy is very beneficial and healing. Happily married women do not envy or talk negative, they are willing to share their energy with you.


19. Asking for help makes a woman feel more feminine. Stop saying “I will do it myself`”, as it is a male principle. Help those who are weaker than you, but receive help from those who can provide it.

20. Visiting a bookstore. Books have a great power to inspire.

21. Asking a man for help. Willingness to help women is in men’s nature. Ask an unknown person to help you carry a heavy bag and you will see how feminine this makes you feel.


22. Reading. Especially reading stories about people with great qualities.

23. Sharing your household duties with someone. Feeling that you are not responsible for every single thing will help you feel less anxious and allow to have time for yourself.

24. Cooking. Anything that has to do with cooking enhances feminine energy. Practice your skills, feed others and learn new recipes.


25. Making your home feel comfortable. Women have a very deep connection with their homes. Make yours special just for you and you will feel more happy and secure.

26. Making positive plans. Doubts and uncertainty can be very destructive to a woman. That is why it is very beneficial to plan out the events in your life.


27. Having a fancy dinner at home. Prepare a delicious dinner and serve it in a festive manner. You do not need a holiday for that. Make it special and enjoyable, you have the power to create such moments whenever you want to.

28. Spending time with children and teaching them new skills.

29. Taking acting classes. Trying on various roles can help a woman understand herself better.


30. Organizing a picnic with friends.

31. Doing makeup, dressing up and practicing self-care. Do those things not only to be attractive, but also to make you feel special and happy. Try looking your best at home when nobody is around.


32. Buying yourself flowers. Flowers are not only for decoration; they are also for eliminating negative emotions. Flowers absorb negativity and give back beauty; that is why women need flowers without special occasions.


33. Wearing skirts and dresses. Long skirts help preserving the energy of Earth and enhance femininity. On the opposite, wearing pants on a regular basis is proven to interfere with reproductive health.


34. Joining a parenting club if you have a child. Being around other mothers is not only for exchanging experiences, but also energies.


35. Caring for children that are not your own. A selfless expression of care is a way for a woman to gain strength.

36. Feeding those who are in need. Compassion is a quality that enhances Moon energy. You can never be too poor or too busy to bring a fruit to a lonely neighbor or offer a cup of tea to an unexpected visitor.

37. Talking to others in a positive manner. Interesting conversations free from gossiping and negativity are a great source of energy.


38. Watching romantic movies with other women. Movies about love are especially beneficial when they are watched with other women who can fully appreciate the experience.

39. Studying a new culture. This allows a woman to expand her mind and broaden her interests.

40. Spending time by the water. Water teaches a woman how to be sensual, harmonious and adapting.

41. Taking up new type of exercise, especially dancing.

42. Dressing up in beautiful dresses is a great way to increase your energy. Wearing beautiful clothes doesn’t require going out, as dressing up at home has a great positive effect.

43. Arranging a closet and cleaning up the clutter. Unnecessary old or broken things weaken a woman’s energy and create disharmony in her mind.

44. Taking up a healthy lifestyle free from bad habits such as smoking, going to bed late, gossiping and drinking.

45. Reading and writing poetry. Writing your own poems is a great way to express suppressed feeling and doesn’t require extraordinary talent to be therapeutic.

46. Feeding birds and animals.

47. Visiting a museum or exhibit- surrounding yourself with beauty is a great way to increase your energy.

48. Meeting with a Guru/Teacher. This includes attending classes, lectures or training programs. While books and audio lectures give knowledge, only live communication provides for exchange of energies.

49. Keeping a journal. A journal allows for an opportunity to express the feelings instead of considering them unsubstantial.

50. Creating a photo album of your best pictures and admiring yourself.

51. Formulating and writing down your wishes and desires. Don’t think about what you “can make happen”. Making things happen is pure male energy, while desiring is female.

52. Speaking without aggression and ugly words. Try checking the words you use everyday, are they creating beauty and harmony?

53. Practicing positive surrender and non-aggressive conduct. Arguments, competitions and debates are all aspects of manly behavior. While appropriate at times, they take away female energy making a woman tired and nervous.

54. Avoiding promiscuity. A woman gives her life energy to a man when they get sexually involved. If she doesn’t get love and attention in return she enters a very unfair exchange.

55. Keeping body and house clean. Water cleans both physical and spiritual levels of the body. The house also needs to be cleaned physically as well as spiritually with sage, Frankincense or other tools used in your tradition.

56. Filling yourself with love. When a woman is empty inside she becomes needy for love and cannot give from pure heart. Caring for yourself and loving yourself doesn’t make you selfish, it makes you capable of giving love.

57. Sewing, crocheting, or practicing any creative activity.

58. Paying compliments to other women.

59. Openly expressing your love.

60. Creating flower arrangements

61. Eating healthy and nutritious food of high quality. Your diet forms the basis of your well-being; if you care about yourself you need to care about what you eat.

62. Touching your body with love and adoration. If you love your face others will do too.

63. Happily spending time alone.

64. Sleeping with toys. Toys give us the sense of warmth and comfort, so don’t think it is silly for a grown woman to sleep with one.

65. Meditating on the moon.

66. Sending a postcard for no reason.

67. Participating in charity.

68. Changing a hairstyle – a great way to begin positive change.

69. Using natural and pleasant perfumes. A woman should always smell like a wonderful flower that she is.

70. Feeling your own greatness. Never doubt that you are worthy of the best in the world. Vedic scriptures explain that a woman is the greatest of God’s creations. You are beautiful and special from birth!
 
The post below resonated with me. I thought about how I had to rewire myself. I’ve been challenged so much by this journey. Had to reflect on and affirm my childhood and alrents are dysfunctional. Had to give up all that is dysfunctional. I had to learn how to make a shift. I found out I had NO real hobbies I was doing and I had to indulge in new ones: cooking, gardening, reading, plating, poetry, singing which all took time and effort. I had to block family members and even some friends. I had to refine my speech and limit my cursing like a sailor. I had to learn how to create boundaries. My life today is completely foreign to my life last year. But through it all refinement is necessary for one to seek understanding, grow, and blossom. Im just enjoying the journey.

From Theresa Harris:
It’s so beautiful to see women who want to become their best self not only for them but for the sake of their families and future families take action. They understand that they will be challenged in ways unimaginable. They face many hard truths, that at first may feel like an attack on their childhood, upbringing, and ideals, because they have yet to find true understanding. Because anything foreign from our current reality feels like a threat to our livelihoods. What’s most admirable is that instead of pointing the finger, being disrespectful, and mean towards other woman who are vibrating higher than them..... They sit, They listen, They observe, and ask themselves what is it about me that has me responding in this way? Why am I threatened by their femininity? Why am I so uncomfortable when they set boundaries for their personal lives? And then they seek understanding, they grow, and blossom. Wife school is so much more than simply being a wife. It is a shift of your consciousness level, It is a rewiring of all of the slavey conditioning we’ve been subjected to, it is hope for the future, it is a way to a be FREE. Everyone isn’t ready, I understand this but I’m here to offer help to the lovelies who are ready. Joining ROR in November 2016 has been one of the greatest decisions I have made. We have regional chapters too! If you are ready let me know!
 
Hi ladies! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has some challenges getting a grip on the childlike phrase thing. I do think that I do it subconsciously sometimes, when I want something. :lol: My ex used to tell me that I would put on a soft voice and sweet talk him into doing what I wanted. I didn't realize that I was doing that until he mentioned it. SheraSeven (YT) always says to talk to men with a "baby voice" - a bit higher pitched than your regular speaking voice. If anyone watches Married to Medicine, Dr. Heavenly talks to her husband this way.

I agree with having the carefree, childlike attitude. I think that's a great way to approach it. I'm trying to remember times in the past when I used a childlike phrase and got favorable results...
A couple of times, I told a guy he was "just so big and strong" half jokingly, and using the baby voice - every time, he was grinning from ear to ear.

I gotta work on this..
 
How long have you been out of the loop. Do you need anything from us? What area do you need the most help with?

Whew! I fell off in the middle of March. I needs to take a time out and do some deep soul searching about where my life is going. This journey has been very eye opening for me.
I work outside of the home and I got stuck for awhile on how deep down the rabbit hole I am willing to go. I won’t be leaving my job in the foreseeable future and needed to work hard on making peace with that.
How is everyone?
 
(((Hugs))) @cam2717
What you described is unacceptable. How is holding the door for a random woman more important than his son’s safety and your peace? I would be very upset too if I were you.
Perfect! Now I think we’re getting closer to the root of things. So you like shopping, but are you saying you don’t like how you feel neglected at times because DH does not properly protect your peace? This is in the sense of keeping the kids safe when in public.

I understand your frustration and you are right in being frustrated. This is abuse and it should not be tolerated. It needs to addressed now. You deserve to be protected in all ways. He is abusing you but probably unbeknownst to him.

I suggest you go back up to this week’s challenge and read the bottom bolded area: Word of caution: Childlikeness is not for situations where deep hurt has occurred such as if you just found out he has cheated on you or has seriously abused you.

Because this is an example of abuse, this is not where you would be childlike.

I hope some older more experienced ladies chime in on this situation and give solutions. From my end, I would be very soft (I would straight up cry), give up some responsibility and let him figure it out. I know this is sort of hard to do though when it involves the safety of your child but my mindset towards this is that you have to indirectly lead him to looking out for your needs, protecting your peace, and looking out for the kids to keep you at peace. When he sees you cry he will know this is serious. When he sees you gasp or cry because he loves you he should be compelled to fix it. Men are natural fixers. This is especially true for those he loves.

Crying and saying something like,” Oh my gosh I was so afraid that something would happen to Jr.” (Or xyz you get my drift) would work right here. When he steps in and grabs the children give him positive feedback. “I really respect your leadership when you do xyz to protect the children”

Actions often speak louder than words. I know you are frustrated and sometimes your words may reflect this. However, Harsh words usually don’t get men to change their actions. Actions do. Always keep the end result in mind. You may feel silly at first but I suggest you cry. Cry. And Cry again lol. Follow up by stroking his ego. When you feel SAFE APPRECIATED AND SECURE that is when and only when you will be able to act in a childlike manner to DH without feeling resentful.


Thanks ladies. I'm kinda cracking up at "I suggest you cry. Cry. And Cry again."

He already apologized the same night that he was "watching the cart." He said that he could sense that I was irritated with him. I should have spoken up and said something. I just want him to KNOW that he has to watch his children when we go out. I don't want to have to tell him to hold his son's hand at the door. Or keep them from playing in the middle of the aisle when people are shopping. Ugh!!!

But I'm glad that y'all pointed it out, it really is about him protecting my peace. Thanks!

Recap

Week 1: Create Femininity Goals. Find an accountability partner

Week 2: Print or Buy a planner. Make sure you write down and plan to do things that encompass your femininity. How many times will you cook for your family so they can practice dinner etiquette? How many minutes will you hold each child a day (10-15 minutes?) How will you polish your femininity EACH day, how will you spend one on one time with your spouse each day? Have you made time to go out with a female this week to talk girl talk? Make a plan, be intentional, and write it down.

Week 3: Be more present- Be aware of your surroundings. Don't be a phone zombie. Practice makes permanent. Constantly work on cultivating your femininity by being very present with DH, SO, your children, and friends. Choose human interactions vs social media interactions this week.

Week 25- Let's Get Some Sunshine



Week 25: Let's Get Some Sunshine


"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty anywhere."​

Exchange your screen time for some green time. When sunshine begins hitting the skin, it begins a process that leads to the creation and activation of vitamin D. Studies suggest that this vitamin helps fight certain conditions, from osteoporosis and cancer to depression and heart attacks.

This could include numerous activities. Maybe you want to go cycling, a small hike in a state park, take the kiddies to the park and be present and take everything in. Have fun with them! Take a nice walk in your neighborhood. Take the latest stab at earthing and take those shoes off and let your toes nestle into the sand/grass.

Think about it. Nature does not hurry, yet everything is STILL accomplished. Why the rush? Slow Down. Take in the EXPERIENCE and not the end result. Make it a ritual if you need to.



Week 25 Challenge
1. Go outside and do an outside activity. Blow bubbles, plant flowers, go for a walk on a nature trail. Try earthing. Go for a bike ride. Take the time to take enjoy life around you.
2. Continue to focus on not rushing. Take your time. In the grocery store, at your job, getting ready for bed, enjoying your home, cleaning, driving. Slow down. Focus on one thing at a time. Take in the beauty all around you. Be present.

This will be easy! Ive been waking around 8 /9 and going for a daily walk two-three times a week. I plan to continue my walks and maybe go more often. I walk for about an hour, ranging from 3-4 miles. A little sunscreen and a relaxing playlist and I’m set.
