I've come to the realization that I give my power away to the women in my life (mother, wife, daughter, friends, acquaintances, etc.) and I want to change that habit. I wonder if you could comment on how I plan to go about this.
1) Journal about why and how I do this, to unearth the real reasons for this behaviour. 2) Practice awareness of my behaviour around women. Not to judge myself or criticize, but just to become aware of when it happens and if there are any triggers. 3) Replace the behaviour with something more constructive. I'm not sure what this looks like yet and might need to find models of behaviour for myself.
It all seems straightforward but I know I'll come up on resistance with step 3, probably rooted in fear. I have experience with both the system of magic in the Druid Magic Handbook, and the DOGD, and I wonder if there's a magical practice I can incorporate to improve my chance of success with any of these steps, but step 3 especially.
