How to harness all the energies within us to build the life we want to build: in work, relationship and community
Ever seen people around you?
There would be some who are driven by ambition, discipline, acquisition of power and wealth. Whereas there would be some who possess creativity and being expressive, caring and nurturing, free flowing and are so much aware of situations and environment around them.
I am not generalizing here the picture of a typical male or female
But I am talking about Masculine energy and Feminine Energy, which can coexist together in a human being
▶️Now what happens when Leaders have Masculine energy higher than Feminine?
✅ It allows the creation of structure and clear logical steps toward achieving a goal. It brings in extreme focus and dedication
✅ It brings in stability amongst team members when there are outside threats in the system
✅ It creates independence, confidence and self-reliability which is helpful, when things need to be driven ahead in a system
❌ It can cause too much aggressiveness and domineering behaviours, which will make it difficult in social situations
❌ It brings inflexibility and rigidness in thinking patterns; dismisses intuition and emotions resulting in dismissing important insights and feelings of customers/ stakeholders
❌ It can make team members find you too competitive and inability to cooperate and perform team work
▶️And then what happens if the Feminine Energy is higher than Masculine?
✅ It brings in empathy and is able to offer values through connection and understanding the needs of customers/ stakeholders
✅ It brings in creativity and can provide innovation insights and solutions to problems
✅ It has nurturing qualities, highly important for being a mentor and building more efficient teams who will work for the long-term benefits
✅ It brings in collaboration and teamwork, which is more beneficial then a perennial cut throat competitive environment
❌ It can cause being too overly emotional and reactive to situations causing unpredictability in behaviours
❌ It lacks assertiveness, and finds difficult in setting boundaries and is overly self-sacrificing. This leads to being directionless, taken advantage of, neglecting self-care and causing burn out.
Our Ancient Cultures like Hinduism and Chinese Philosophy, they all represent the perfect balance between these two energies.
Being aware of one’s own energies , knowing where to use when and Striving toward a perfect balance is what beings in Harmony And creates the Perfect Zen like being, where there is stability, harmony, and good health in all aspects of life- relationships, career, physical and emotional health, money and internal peaceBrought to You by BeingZens
