Everyday Empowered Woman’s Guide: From A to Z

Female empowerment has been a much talked about and studied subject. This force that drives women to fight for equality and release their voice in search of recognition is very important and needs to be encouraged. But how to live true empowerment on a daily basis? Next, you will know some important steps to conquer it.

Check out our guide to the empowered woman every day with essential words from A to Z that will help you grow personally and in society.

(Self love

Can you look in the mirror and see the wonderful woman you are? Self-love is often not part of our life, but it must be a daily construction so that our relationship with ourselves is better. One step at a time, in your own way, valuing who you are and loving every part of your being: embrace self-love and make it your greatest guide.

(Noise

Don’t be afraid to raise your voice and fight for your rights and the rights of the women around you. The world needs people who scream and who seek a better life for all. The world needs noise. Team up with women who want to fight with you and stick together to overcome all obstacles.

(Knowledge

Read, question, research, teach… Knowledge moves the world and is an important element in your life. No matter how: knowledge is hidden everywhere, be they academic environments or not. The knowledge is in that important college class, but also in the lessons learned from her grandmother. Learn from life and for life!

(Take off

Don’t be afraid to dream. Run after your biggest goals without worrying about the opinions of others. You were born to shine, you were born to be happy. So allow yourself to take your feet off the ground once in a while. Don’t shelve your dreams, but make them come true. There is an immense universe waiting to be conquered!

(Empathy

Imagine if all people put themselves in each other’s shoes before making judgments? The world would certainly be a better place to live. Have empathy for all women, respect their struggles, their past and their difficulties. There is no way to know the strength of the pain of the other, so what remains is to respect and try to understand.

(Feminism

You may think otherwise, but feminism is very important to your life. Without it you couldn’t work, vote, and you wouldn’t have the freedom you have today. However, there is much to go on. Don’t be fooled by assumptions created by those who don’t even know what this movement is. Get to know a little more about feminism, its goals and understand once and for all that it fights for a fairer and more dignified world for everyone.

(Gratitude

Sometimes life is hard and we forget to be grateful for the little things that make us happy. This daily exercise is important for our health, well-being and ensures peace of mind. Be grateful for the simplest things, like the sun that shines in the morning or the rain that wets the city. Gratitude transforms our lives and makes us happier and more fulfilled every day.

(History

If there’s one thing history proves, it’s the strength of women. Their struggles, quests and achievements helped shape the world we know today. Discover the history of important women in the feminist movement, but also the lives of women who are part of your city. The stories of these strong and determined people will help you fight for your rights.

(Intimacy

Even with so many advances, women are taught to be ashamed of their bodies and to hide them. In addition, they are also warned not to talk about sex and their desires. Don’t let these sexist thoughts rule your life. Know your body, know your desires, experience new sensations, trance and don’t allow taboos to prevent you from understanding and living.

(Window

Don’t let anything and anyone make you close off from the world. There is much to explore, many stories to discover, people to be enchanted by, landscapes to photograph… There are many possibilities and they can only be seen when our windows are open so that the sun and the gentle breeze can enter. Do not be afraid!

(K)eep calm

There are times in life when the right thing to do is take a deep breath and move on. In order not to wear yourself out with vain fights, know which are the right battles that deserve to be won. Keep calm, slow down, don’t lose your breath and prepare for the great wars that may arise. As for small day-to-day conflicts, resolve them in the simplest way and use the rest of the time to rest.

(Crazy

The word “crazy” is most often used pejoratively, but how about changing that meaning? The crazy woman is the one who fights for what she wants, knows what she wants and doesn’t care about the opinions of others. Turn this supposed insult into a compliment. We are all crazy, and crazy because we are ourselves. Embrace who you are and show everyone the strength you have. The world needs the courage of crazy women.

(Movement

Don’t stand still! Make your life a constant movement towards happiness. Dance, jump, run, sing… Exercise your body and mind and don’t let yourself be carried away by inertia. Know your limits, feel the sweat on your skin, but also allow yourself to rest.

(No

Don’t be afraid to say: no! We often submit ourselves to situations that we do not like for fear of hurting other people. However, we need to be selfish too and express our opinions and wishes to avoid going through unpleasant moments. So don’t forget: a “no” can be as positive as a “yes”.

(Pride

Did you choose to be an entrepreneur? Take pride. Did you choose to stay at home and take care of the children? Take pride. Don’t you see yourself as a mother and chose not to be? Take pride. Be proud of the amazing woman you are, be proud of your choices and your life. The opinion of others doesn’t matter: do what you want, not what is expected of you. Fill your chest with pride and show the world how happy you are with your choices.

(Power

How to talk about female empowerment without talking about power?! Power is the force that moves a woman. It is the help that drives each of us to overcome all obstacles in life. All women are powerful and deserve to have their space within society. Let that power take over you and show all your strength to the world!

(Q)uilo

You know that number that appears on the scale? It doesn’t matter and it doesn’t define who you are. We live in a world full of patterns, but they can no longer be the basis of our lives. Forget the so-called “beauty indicators” and admire and love your body as it is. Live a light, happy life and don’t let that insignificant word destroy your self-esteem.

(R)representativeness

You know that feeling of seeing yourself in a movie character, book or even in certain songs? This is the strength of representation. We need women who represent minorities, who use their voice to encourage those who no longer have hope and who occupy spaces that they did not have access to before. It is important that female representation conquers all possible places so that all women understand that they are capable of amazing things!

(S)ority

Hand in hand with empathy, sisterhood comes to further humanize our relationship with other women. This word, which means “behave like a sister”, is the basis for a solid and unbreakable female alliance. We already suffer so many prejudices and so many sexist judgments every day, why, then, do we still attack each other? Leave judgments aside, seek to understand the opinions of the women who are by your side and show them that this fight belongs to everyone.

(T)overflow

Like water overflowing from an already full glass, run to places beyond your comfort. Use your privileges to help the women who need it most – but of course, without silencing anyone. Advise, be light, offer your strength and hold the hand of all those who go through difficulties that for you may be small. Overflow and fill your sisters’ lives with lots of love and understanding.

(Unity

More than empowering yourself alone, collective empowerment is even more important. Unite with women you admire, create discussion groups, study groups, listen to each other and walk side by side to conquer more and more space. If alone you can go far, if together with other amazing women you can go even further.

(Violence

Many women are raped by the hour in Brazil. Despite being high, this number is often ignored. It’s time to change that. Don’t be silent, don’t suffer alone. If this happens to you, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Talk to the women around you and tell them what’s going on. If this is happening to someone you know, please help. One voice alone may not make much difference, but several voices together can change the world.

(W)ww

Use the internet for good. Make it an empowerment tool for you and other women. Create, sell, discuss, research, discover new stories and promote the work of women you admire. Use this space to spread good news and encourage others to do the same.

(Checkmate

Put a stop to what hurts you! We often submit to some things out of comfort or fear of saying no. This can’t happen anymore. Let go of habits, actions or even people that are only bad for your life. Arm yourself with love, strength and courage and face these obstacles head-on to give the long-awaited checkmate. After that, the battle will be over.

(Y)in-yang

Like everything in life, we are made of contradictions. At one moment we are fire, at another we are ice. Sometimes we want to run, sometimes we want to stop. Contradictions are important, because they guarantee the balance of our lives. If you’ve chosen a path but want to go back and change direction, no problem: we all have the right to contradict each other and learn from our mistakes.

(Zeal

Be your best company. Set aside special time in your week to take care of yourself. Read, rest, watch a movie, run, use a body cream, meditate, enjoy your favorite food… Learn to take care of your body and mind, after all, you are your own home.

Embrace this guide with all your might and understand that changes happen one step at a time. Believe in yourself, don’t hide your voice and invite other women to embark on this empowerment adventure with you. Together we can do much more!
