Beloved,
Remember that your comfort zone is not a good benchmark of what examples of healthy masculinity or femininity behold.
We all meet perception of what is deemed healthy by how much we are open, & receptive to deeply meet the inner aspects of our omni-dimensional selves, which have been starved of love for various stories, encounters, connections, soul contracts, or even lifestyle choices.
What you deem healthy is met with where you perceive you are worthy of healed, emotionally available, present, reciprocal & regulated connection to another. Not just between the sheets yet in every encounter you experience in life.
When asking this question about what healthy masculinity & femininity feel like, not just look like to individuals from all walks of life, the responses are WILDLY different in my professional exchanges.
Different doesn't equate to being wrong; let's clarify that straight out of the gate.
Confidence is one of the key contributors that all too often needs to be understood in the connectivity path.
It takes immeasurable courage to have balanced confidence, not the projected type that feels inauthentic. I'm speaking about the level of confidence that someone embodies.
It derives from sitting with oneself time & time again, understanding the motivations, concepts, initiation, invitations & acts of surrender by dancing with the universe.
If you are someone who has never experienced a consistent depth within your entire self that is calming, centered, focused, intentional, present, accountable, loving, nurturing, expressive, emotionally available, receptive & regulated with clear, clean boundaries, standards with a dedicated commitment to self then what is the benchmark that you choose to see healthy as...
Many individuals are projecting healthy masculinity & femininity out here on social feeds but actually dont live that in full embodiment themselves - so yes, it's just a projection.
Authenticity starts with yourself. If you want better - then you must be willing to become better.
Consistently,
No shame, no blame, just a willingness to lean in & allow yourself to crack open to living BEYOND your comfort zone.
