In ancient times, a goddess was a deity who once ruled as an empress. Once she passed on, she was elevated to a goddess status, made to be simply: unforgettable. Her essence was, essentially god- like, with an ‘ess’ at the end. She’d have a warmness about her. An internal glow of wisdom and love for herself and her people. A queen- like self-assurance, so to speak. Like Cleopatra, she’d have a certain posture, a certain walk, with shoulders back and head up high. Yet internally, she was comfortable in her own skin, at one with herself, and of the world around her.
When I look up the term ‘goddess’ on Pinterest, or deep-dive into ancient mythology, she often comes up as ethereal, or a warrior in armour. But it’s more than that – as in her eyes she exudes character and intellect. A goddess doesn’t care for her weight on the scales- but the weight of her brain, heart and spirit. She doesn’t freak out at the size of her jeans- but the size of her courage, honour and loyalty. Instead of receiving gifts? She prefers nurturing others, and is full of kindness, love, sacrifice and holiness.
And this girl doesn’t just pick flowers: she plant roots of knowledge to others, to form a landscape of wisdom, leaving behind a giant legacy on this very place called earth.
On top of that, she’s able to fly above the cosmos, which makes her carry a sparkly kind of vibe that says: I’m confident. I care about myself. I love who I am.
How goddess thinking can help you
So now that I’ve thrown a bit of stardust your way, how do we get some of this goddess magic and make it stay? How will it give you back some of your self-worth to rediscover your positive sparkle and strength?
Let’s face it, all women want to shine. We all want to feel confident, and shine brightly in our own individual ways. Having a goddess vibe is a surefire way to win that first impression; that first job; that first date. It’s you unknowingly telling the other person that you are confident in yourself. It’s a built in mechanism that shows your worth to others
It actually takes more work than we think to grow into our happy goddess energy. It takes physical, mental and emotional work, not to mention great personal growth work, to build yourself bigger. Qualities Like Confidence. Strength. Courage and Bravery. These inner virtues are so vital to our goddess essence. But in taking care of others, and putting ourselves last, we often forget they are screaming out to be unleashed!
Truth can also be said, that for most of lockdown, we sat in limbo, ruminating on how we were going to fight back from the gloom of Groundhog Day and relearn how to shine on our own. We spent an ungodly amount of hours looking to influencers or movie stars to inspire us, but forgot that we ourselves, have the power and ability to shine: in real-time.
