Chant

I dance in a circle of women
Make a web of my life
Hold me as I spiral and spin
Make a web of my life

Arrange Your Alone Time

We are all busy women. And it is important to give ourselves time to process the emotional things that happen to us every single day. Women are emotional beings, and we should honour this about ourselves. It is not a weakness.
It is stronger to admit, to accept, to fear, to love - than it is to deny, to ignore, to push away.
Give yourself time to nourish your body, by what you eat, by how you look at yourself in the mirror, by how you wash your hair.
Give yourself time to feed your intellect. Read a good book, take an art class, or an economics class, or just have a good discussion with someone.
Remember that you are in charge of how you feel. Don't let your circumstances dictate what you think your life should be like. It is up to you.

Feeling your Emotions

Real power doesn't lie in holding back your emotions.
It takes a lot of courage to sit with a powerful feeling, such as Anger, Love, or Sadness. Have you ever tried to avoid a certain feeling that keeps taking you over? Yet the feeling persists and persists ... slowly grinding you down ...
Try to sit with the emotion, truly allow yourself to feel it. Ask yourself "what's wrong?". The worst thing you can do to yourself is deny your true feelings. Your feelings, views and opinions mold you into who you truly are, so don't hold back.
This is called Personal Power.
