The Alpha female kicks ass. She’s charismatic and charming and knows how to put together a step-by-step plan to make things happen. These are amazing qualities, and someone blessed with these abilities should get to enjoy the sense of satisfaction that comes with doing a job and doing it well. Like all things, however, these qualities require balance.
Alphaholics want what they want and they want it now, and as an Alpha Female we know how to get what we want. We want results each day and we want them to be the best. However, this is not the most authentic way to operate to allow grace into your life. Remember, you don’t need to be the best, you don’t have to be better than your neighbor, you just have to take steps to be better than you were yesterday.
We may receive gifts and feel almost guilty about receiving or we may withhold from giving because we worry that there won’t be anything left for us. On the journey into Grace we must lose these inhibitions about giving and receiving. As we offer ourselves as a spring of life offering then we will constantly be refilled. This is the love loop. An endless cycle of authentic generous relationships where we feel free to give as well as to receive. I give to you because I care about you, and it strengthens our relationship. Out of that closer bond you feel the desire to give to me. The gift cycle is endless, and I wear an infinity symbol around my neck daily to remind me to both give and receive enthusiastically.
It is in giving that we receive AND it is receiving that we give!
How often do you go for a walk and not even notice the movement of your feet or the muscles in your legs working or the birds overhead or the wonderful crisp breeze? How often do you simply go for a jog for the exercise without taking in all of the magical elements of the moment. The beauty of this ah-ha is that it gives us permission to let life unfold as we live in the magik of each moment.
We all know the Black Sheep as the one that doesn’t necessarily fit in. They’re the outcast, the one with alternative eating habits or beliefs or an eccentric fashion sense. Often times a negative connotation is ascribed to the black sheep. This negativity can cause that YOU-nique individual to feel rejected or as if they don’t belong.
Quirks are those little things that make you a little different from everyone else, your particular behavioral habits. Initially, we look at our quirks and judge them harshly. What’s your biggest quirk that makes you feel like you’re a total weirdo? Maybe you find humor in awkward situations or you dance off rhythm or maybe you fidget when you’re nervous…
Sometimes the Alpha Female may find herself trying to control and manage those around her. It is our condition to want to solves others’ dilemmas, even to drive others’ thinking. When it comes to any kind of drama, it’s so tempting to limit and attempt to direct other people’s thinking. We want to be in charge, to fix things in our family, at work, and in social situations.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could create more joy in daily life? How is it that we often feel like our particular lives are holding us back from doing just that? We are so busy flitting from one item to the next on the to-do list (driving from a doctor’s appointment to a soccer game and ending the night in homework) that we forget to weigh the value of those tasks. Being busy isn’t an accomplishment, and it doesn’t make life more meaningful…
Without doubt I can tell you that there has been no better, more challenging, or more profound teacher in life than my three children. Children are innately intuitive and so connected to their authentic selves. They are so pure, innocent and honest. Let’s learn from them and use their
The concept of “holding space” may take some grappling in order to understand but it is a huge component on the journey to becoming a Recovering Alpha Female. Holding space means honoring your transformative process. It teaches you to reflect, instead of react which will lead you to
