I have a confession to make. My instinct is to go against life. Actually, it kinds of turns me on. I have a lot of fire, and a fight can be really fun. And I love political fights, if both parties are well-read in the topic. But when I meet something I don't like, which I do every day a hundred times over, I resist, which cuts off my life-force, but it also does a number on my stress level and my nervous system. Which is one of the reasons I've been teaching these courses for women. Because I'm reminded of a different way of living and leading, a.k.a. Feminine Leadership. It's a different frequency with turn-on and playfulness. As soon as it's alive, new cosmic airways surface, in flow and surrender. And it's even more fun play-fighting then, because my identities shift, and I don't take myself, or the world seriously. 

If you carry a lot of responsibility, at work or at home, or both, it's hard to switch over to the playful, flirty mode. It's even easier to get stuck in freeze-frame NO-mode. Steven Pressfield, the author of the absolutely brilliant book for finishing any project, 'The War of Art', speaks about resistance as our own Alien or Terminator. Or as the Devil. I procrastinate daily, for example, in writhing a blog post, until it's almost midnight:). The best way for women to switch back into YES-mode is through playful flirtation. So if you find yourself in resistance, whenever, put on a good dance tune, dance with yourself or invite others, just to shift that energetic flow. From there, it's much easier to come back to the power of play and flirtation. How is life flirting with you today - and if isn't - how can you invite a YES to whatever you are doing or whomever you are dealing with?
