Behavioral Signs of Masculine Excess:

  • Restlessness

  • Insomnia

  • Need for constant stimulation

  • Anger/irritability

  • Aggression

  • Grandiosity

  • Impulsive behavior

Once you're able to recognize which quality you're in excess of, you can take steps toward balance.

For feminine excess, feed a healthy masculine by:

  • Actively moving (running, hiking, boxing)

  • Establishing goals and timelines

  • Creating/holding boundaries

  • Making commitments

  • Taking ownership (not blame) of missteps

  • Completing responsibilities (like that thing you keep putting off)

  • Replacing unhealthy coping skills with more effective ones

For masculine excess, feed a healthy feminine by:

  • Moving more calmly (yoga, tai chi, walking)

  • Meditating and being still

  • Spending time in nature

  • Connecting meaningfully, intimately with others

  • Practicing assertive communication

  • Nourishing your Self (with hearty yummy food, cozy self-care, or other things that feel fulfilling)

  • Recognizing abundance in your life

  • Playing, creating, imagining
