WHAT'S YOUR Pledge on 🌟 International Women's Day 2024? 🌟
Today is International Women's Day 2024. What does this mean for you as a woman? Is it just another nonsense day, a bit of lip service, do you roll your eyes, simply not care, or can it mean something?
As a woman, you have a responsibility, not only as a woman, for women, but to yourself.
Some women will accept treatment from others that make them feel objectified, shamed, uncomfortable, scared - or all of these and more.
Despite this, they behave in ways that we might perceive as agreeable. Even when they're encroached and intruded upon.
Why do we do this? Who do we owe? Why do we owe? What about our needs? What about our desires and wants? Who are we trying to please?
Be the kind of woman you can be proud of. The one who is strong enough to say NO, THIS IS NOT OKAY. And then DO what NEEDS to be done, even if it's hard for you.
But why is it hard for you? Because you've been wired to be subservient in certain contexts, you've been wired to think you're an object, or that you should be 'nice'.
But if you're uncomfortable, be the lioness you know you are. She's fiery, precise, and hunts her prey.
What if you override the wiring now? Listen to your gut feelings, the ones you've been socialised to ignore.
Be strong, unapologetic, AND kind. It's not all or nothing here.
Do what FEELS right and be brave.
This is my pledge to me on Women's day 2024...what's yours?

Life brings pain and turmoil, we carry a lot of sadness but where does it go if we don't cry? Crying offers a release of some of these heavy emotions, this is why we can feel quite good after a cry.
Crying is such a natural response to sadness and grief and yet we are implicitly and sometimes explicitly taught that we should only cry in certain situations and contexts; babies are shushed, but the wisdom of children is ever calling to us.
What does stifling our cries do for our sadness, turmoil, and suffering? It tells it it's not valid and should be pushed deep down into our bodies. This can be functional but only in the shorter term if we're honest. In the longer term it adds to our suffering, we feel unheard, invalidated, and dismissed...and we are, by ourselves as well.
Let yourself cry when you need it. When you're talking about something that makes you feel emotional, let it come, don't keep fighting it and beating it deep down. Cry, breathe, and release. Think about what you're telling yourself when you do this: "my sadness and pain are valid, I need this, and I will take it. Let it out, feel heard, and release"
