how i embody princess energy without trying to impress anyone
today marks the day of the official first day of winter! yes, everyone started planning for their winter arc like a few months ago. but today is when mother nature finally, FINALLY decided to catch up with us.
so, you may be asking "mindy, what the actual what is princess energy?" well, my lovelies, this is a new concept i made up... actually no, pinterest made it up, but i reinvented it. THE ULTIMATE WINTER PRINCESS LIFESTYLE, but this post is specifically about how you can EMBODY that energy and utilize it this winter. i was debating if i wanted to do a 'winter arc' series or make a new series. and of course, i decided to create a whole new concept.
princess energy is not loud, or trendy and definitely not attention-seeking. it's all about THE INTERNAL before the VISIBLE. princess energy is what i'm embodying this winter, and listen, i've noticed i've had it in me over time. it's nothing i "achieved". it was already there, just quietly needed to be reinforced.
this is basically the very royal-winter-esque main character energy that became a trend a little while back.
β§ what princess energy actually feels like (not looks like)
- feeling calm in your own presence
- not rushing to explain yourself
- letting silences exist
- being gentle without being weak
- knowing you don't need to prove softness at all
- choosing comfort without apologizing
- moving through the day with quiet assurance
the princess energy is a mindset, okay? it's a mindset of grace even under pressure, self-indulgence without apology.
so, first things first, everything starts in your headspace, not your wardrobe or aesthetic.
βΎ try to set aside 20 minutes before bed with a journal, write down affirmations, and make it personal. journaling apps are cute, but nothing beats a physical journal.
βΎ i really have been trying to be kinder to myself, if you slip on ice, just laugh it off. i learned to track my wins every day, i use notion to do this. i set a goal for me this winter to log three daily gratitude's focusing on more of the internal rather than achievements. this really shifts energy from external validation to internal radiance.
β§ things i stopped doing
βΎ stopped over explaining my choices
βΎ stopped shrinking to seem more agreezable
βΎ stropped frocing aesthetics that didn't feel like me
βΎ stopped responding immediately just to be "nice"
βΎ stopped dressing or acting for validation
βΎ stopped explaining my boundaries like i'm on trial
βΎ stopped and completely deleted "sorry for the inconvenience" from my vocabulary FOREVER.
getting clear on what i need to stop doing this winter really helped me improve myself internally. and my mental state has been better than ever.
β§ how i embody it in everyday life
this one is super important. and i promise you, "princess energy" is really just prioritizing your state of well-being and your health mentally.
βΎ i started to taking care of myself even when no one sees it
βΎ choosing clothes that feel good, not impressive.
βΎ keeping promises to MYSELF
βΎ speaking a lot more slowly
βΎ protecting my mornings
βΎ saying no without guilt (this is a big one)
βΎ i romanticize the mundane. folding laundry becomes so meditative when i play a jazzy playlist, or even grocery shopping? i pick the prettiest strawberries, listen to some music on my headphones. i turn cooking into a love letter to myself, fairy lights on, no one else but me and tam kaur playing in the background.
βΎ i've learned to honor my emotions, i don't suppress a single feeling. if i need to cry, i cry. if i'm angry i journal it out. emotion honesty is not messy at all, it's majestic. pretending you're above feelings is a mistake i've learned this year that led me into depression. but once i realized i can honor it, i'm so much happier.
βΏ princess energy in relationships
βΎ i love abundantly but i never chase
βΎ i never choose passive-aggressive texts, or explosive fights. when something hurts, i say it softly but firmly. clear, kind, unshakable.
βΎ i give genuine compliments freely. i love giving compliments, not once in my life have i ever commented anything negative on someone's post, even if i never liked it. getting sweet replies back from small youtubers i've supported has literally became a huge hobby for me i find so much joy in.
βΎ i expect reciprocity without demanding it. i remember birthdays with thoughtful gifts, check in during hard weeks, celebrate wins like they're my own. i also notice who mirrors that same energy. one-sided relationships get gently archived.
βΏ boundaries that feel princess-coded
βΎ resting when i'm tired instead of pushing through
βΎ leaving draining situations quietly and gracefully
βΎ not replying when i don't have the energy
βΎ not explaining my boundaries excessively
βΎ choosing solitude when i need it
the less i try to prove i'm "princess material," the more people treat me like one. it's almost comical how the universe responds when you stop performing and start inhabiting.
i hope this post helped you realize being graceful and prioritizing you're well-being is super important and can overall make your winter magical.
β‘ xoxo mindy
