Dear Sister,

This week and next week I want to talk about what it means to think like a Queen.

In the work, I lead and teach on archetypes, inevitably the Queen archetype is one of the most important and powerful ones that women come to embody.

A Queen is a woman who believes in herself, treats herself with love and respect, and honors her own needs as valid and worthy. And in doing this for herself, others learn how they are allowed to treat her.

When a woman holds this level of standard for herself, others learn from her example and treat her accordingly. And a Queen is not afraid to move on if someone doesn’t treat her right.

One of the most powerful mindset shifts we can make to step into our Queen energy is from that of people pleasing to one of putting self-care first and foremost.

The people pleasing mindset asks:

What I can do to make sure their needs are met?

How can I make sure others are happy and comfortable?

What do they think of me? and how can I make sure they like me no matter what?

The Queen mindset asks:

What are my needs and how can I make sure they are met so I am at my best?

How can I invite others to support me to feel happy and comfortable?

What do I think of this situation? And how can I make sure I’m true to myself no matter what others think?

This very simple yet incredible shift from an outward focus to inward self-care is profound. If we start to think along the lines of…  what do we need in order to be at our best?... rather than how can I make sure everyone else is happy and likes me no matter what? ….(isn’t that exhausting!!)...  this is stepping into our Queen, and honoring our own sacred needs first and foremost.

I hope you enjoy this video, and that it inspires you to step more fully into your Queen this week.

With love,

Laura
