Queen,
It’s Time to Ascend Your Throne!

n the early 1900s, Dr. Carl Jung introduced the concept of psychological archetypes into the field of Psychology. He defined 12 key psychological archetypes, and explained that we experience them as energy in our lives. Dr. Jung proclaimed that we all have these 12 universal energies inside of us, yet often they lay dormant as latent potential. One of those archetypical energies is the Royal energy. This energy has both masculine and feminine distinctions, King and Queen respectively. As young women, our royal archetypical energy is typically that of a Princess; yet as we mature and gain clarity about ourselves and our lives, we have the potential to grow into our “Queen Energy.” Queen energy is full of power, confidence and femininity. Queens are humble leaders, clear communicators and advocates for selflove and self-resilience. The Queen archetypical energy is not catty or competitive, but rather wants to see all people thrive in life. A Queen knows that true elegance comes from within. It’s not about what other people think nor is it about how she looks on the outside; it’s about how she feels internally. And, that feeling radiates as powerful and humble.
The Queen archetypical energy is one we should all aspire to embody. As a Queen, YOU are the creator of your own experience, and your main role is to master yourself and create a kingdom that you’re proud of. Here are some tips for how to ascend to your Queen Energy: • Approach everything with a growth mindset recognizing that we must take risks and view failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. • Spend time alone, reflecting on your values, and noting whether you are living in alignment with them. • Improve your self-talk. Tell yourself constantly that you ARE beautiful, intelligent and worthy of love. • Set a positive, uplifting tone for your day. Start each day with empowering affirmations, mantras, quotes or videos/playlists. • Keep learning and growing throughout your life. Challenge yourself to learn something new each day. Use your strengths and sharpen your skills in new and interesting ways. • Surround yourself with other confident Queens, ones who recognize, appreciate and cheer you on for your Queen energy!
