The Irresistible Woman

She claims the attention of every room she enters. Her scent lingers long after her departure. Her movements are slow and intentional. She's intelligent, funny, confident, charming, charismatic, reserved, compassionate, well informed, and authentically herself.

She is Irresistible! Let's break it down a little with an in-depth chat about these characteristics.

Intelligent & Well Informed

A woman of intelligence is alert and satisfies her curiosity with constant knowledgeable growth. She is a teacher just as well as a student, understanding that she is not always the most informed person in the room and is eager to know more. She is aware and up to date on national/community occurrences of the past, present, and future. She is fluent in a wide range of topics and actively engages in societal spaces.

Fun/Funny

She has no problem letting her hair down, joking, laughing, or goofing off. Life is serious but does it have to be that serious all the time? Her comedic timing is impeccable. Knowing when and where to add some comic relief is a special skill that some people never acquire. Having a quick wit is also essential as she is sometimes provoked. It's her way of saying, "Nice try."

Confidence

This is what makes heads turn. It's a look, a feeling, a stance...an aura. Mastering herself, taking charge, self-awareness, embracing challenges, and achieving goals are several confident boosting characteristics of an irresistible woman. She properly manages her thoughts, feelings, and emotions by addressing negative self-talk, and conflicts within herself using positive affirmations, while uplifting others and inspiring them to do the same. She understands that building confidence is an ongoing process.

Charming/Charismatic

She is kind, polite, captivating, and inspiring. She is an active listener; paying close attention to what others are saying and is genuinely interested. She has the ability to inspire and motivate others with her expressive visions and goals. She often smiles, makes eye contact, and uses other non-verbal cues to convey warmth and openness. She brings people together with her magnetic energy.

Reserved

She has mastered the perfect balance of personal reservation. She knows how to keep people guessing. Although, she can be an open book, there will always be a question mark about her. She exudes calmness, comfortable in silence, and responds with intention. She is comfortable being vulnerable without shame or guilt, later. Her social media is filled with photos and mild context. Her social life may be public, but her personal life is private. Only those specifically chosen by her will she open up to.

Compassionate

She is deeply related to others through various experiences; even experiences that she may have never encountered because she is empathetic and understanding. She is a woman of words and action. She knows how to address the suffering of others with her genuine desire to help and heal and willingness to share her resources. Her kindness begins with self. How can she be compassionate to others if she doesn't acknowledge her own imperfections and mistakes?

Authenticity

She is HER. She is honest, accountable, communicative, and true to herself. She owns her actions, forgives herself and others, and sometimes, stands alone, enjoying her time for self-reflection and reconnections to herself. She knows her strengths, weaknesses, and values and her actions are aligned with her principles. She claps for others' success and waits patiently (while working) for her own. She has her own sense of fashion that speaks to her soul. She is unapologetically herself.

Important Honorable Mention: Self-Care

It's physical, mental, and emotional. Proper self-care improves her ability to focus, manage stress, feel energized, maintain physical health, and foster healthier relationships with herself and others. Eating healthy, getting adequate sleep and rest, exercising, praying or meditating, journaling, learning new skills or sharpening an already acquired skill, reading, pursuing creativity, therapy, and regular medical check-ups. The list goes on. Self-care is the starting point...it gives her a sense of self-worth.
