Your Masculine Energy is not Scarcity

Recently, I have been hearing everywhere about this confusion and misconception between masculine energy and scarcity. And if you're feeling some sort of scarcity or feel curious about masculine energy, then this blog post is for you.

Contrary to popular belief and what others project about masculine energy, I don't believe that masculine energy is a bad thing. It's actually a beautiful thing and is a necessity for building any type of balance in our businesses and our lives. 

Masculine energy is often frequently confused with "scarcity"

Most people take action out of scarcity. Without scarcity, a lot of us don't feel the drive or need to thrive. And scarcity might look like masculine energy because of the push of action it does to make us move, but scarcity is not masculine energy. 

Operating out of scarcity shuts people in. And society has long imposed that it is the only way to thrive and survive, but it's not. 

Society has overvalued the "hustle" but undervalued the "breaks", the "inner work", the space every one of us needs. 

Scarcity is just shutting out every single other thing in our minds so that we're either focused or driven by that scarcity to get the damn thing done. And that is not the same as what purely masculine energy is. 

Masculine energy is more like balanced productivity and it works better hand-in-hand with your feminine energy.

When you're in your masculine. It's supposed to feel actionable. And it's supposed to feel good and intuitive. It's supposed to be connected to yourself, not operating at this high level of "hustle" and "competition". Masculine is NOT feeling afraid to take that break and have your space to do the inner work.

I also started my business out of scarcity. I've experienced operating my business thinking like that, and to tell you honestly, it is not the way we should live our lives.

That's why this time, I'm more leaning toward practicing the balance between feminine and masculine energy.

The second that I got out of scarcity and started balancing my masculine and feminine energy, my business has been the most productive it has ever been. Since then, I'm not hounding people for sales. I'm not following up with people because I need money. 

I'm following up with people because I care about them. 

I've learned how to build this trust within myself. And I've learned how to balance that masculine feminine energies and trust that I don't need to take action out of scarcity to be productive.

Bottomline:

Unlearning the scarcity mindset is learning that...

"I can just take action to take action."

We have to balance our feminine energy and masculine energy to have that healthy balance and motivation. Because if we completely disregard our masculine energy and all that drive to be productive, what would we get done?

What if we only stayed in our Feminine, what would we get done?

We would probably spend our entire days in the bathroom doing skincare *or maybe that's just me* LOL. 

But seriously, we have to cultivate our masculine energy by looking deeper into ourselves and how we operate things. 

Ask yourself, "Are you operating out of scarcity?".

The beautiful thing about life is its gray area. Gray is a combination of dark and light colors. And that could interpret life as a bit of good and a bit of bad. In balance like Yin and yang. 

The same thing is to be said about our energy! We need both masculine and feminine to be productive and move toward the life we desire.

Get that balance right!
