How to become more feminine?

I lost myself. I lost my warmth, my feminine side. I used to take care of myself, i was more warm and soft. I have two little boys, i study, i work (well last few months of maternity), right now i feel i am just harsh, yell a lot, i feel like my wall is up around me, life seems to be just hard. Do i make sense? I dont really know how to explain it.
Male friends would probably treat me like a “mate”, not a “female friend”. I might be rumbling. Any good books, podcasts or something to help me get back to my old me…

One word: compassion.....start meditating on all the suffering with compassion...you might be surprised what will start happening

Start small, what is something that makes you feel girly? A spray of your favourite perfume maybe, shopping for some new skincare products? Satin nightwear always makes me feel super feminine but we’re all different, depends on what works for you.

How do you start meditating? Meditation (and yoga) was always something i wanted to try

I dont even know. I sleep in old basic pyjamas because i am just too cheap and tight to spend on myself and prefer to spend on days out with kids but we have very limited budget so everything has to be considered and we have to be careful. I got used to it.

i used to have one day a week for a home spa, shaving, face masks, hair masks, etc etc.. right now i have a led face mask i always wanted, got it for christmas, and havent had a chance to use it! Bloody august already
