The title of Queen is almost officially gone, but its prestige remains. And it is up to us to be worthy of it. This is what Cécile Mams tries to explain to us in her book Pense comme une Reine! This ultimate guide for the modern woman gives us the keys to fulfilment, both professional and personal. All with a royal touch.
1. A QUEEN KNOWS HERSELF BY HEART
Talents, passions, qualities, faults… Nothing should escape you. You must not only know who you are, but also what you want. It may take some time. But it’s worth it. And you’ll avoid wasting your time on a lot of things that don’t suit you. That’s why it’s important to know your goals in life. And it’s by knowing yourself that you’ll be able to discover them. And even more so, to achieve them.
2. A QUEEN KNOWS HER WORTH
Self-confidence, self-image, self-love… 3 fundamental notions that will build your personality and determine your attitude towards yourself, others, and life. Because a woman who knows what she is worth is all the more assertive: she knows what she wants, and above all, what she doesn’t want, she doesn’t hesitate to give her point of view, no matter that thousands of people disagree with her. In short. Having a good opinion of oneself is necessary for any personal development.
3. A QUEEN TAKES CARE OF HER APPEARANCE
Whether it’s the way you dress, the way you make up, the way you express yourself… Pay attention to everything. And always make sure you give a good image of yourself. The image of an elegant, chic and classy woman. Give up the provocative, sexy and vulgar side. It will give you popularity, but not respect.
4. A QUEEN HAS GOOD HABITS
The habits you have are crucial: if they are good, they will elevate you; if they are bad, they will block you. And it is important to identify them in order to change them. Getting up early, being organised, spending time with loved ones, praying, reading, or keeping your house in order are some of the essential habits for a fulfilling and accomplished life.
5. A QUEEN TAKES CARE OF HER BODY
A healthy mind in a healthy body. It goes hand in hand. A balanced diet will prevent you from getting fatter and fatter without you even realising it. It is important that you feel comfortable with your body in order to love yourself. If you are not, you will neglect yourself and others will feel it. And they will neglect you too.
6. A QUEEN SETS GOALS
Knowing where you are going is the key to success. Goals give you a framework and a direction that will help you achieve your future plans. Without goals, life can be very meaningless and uninteresting. It can even trap you in a routine that will lead you nowhere. To avoid this, create a vision board: a creative poster with pictures of everything that inspires you, everything you want, everything that drives you – quotes, luxurious houses, your dream wardrobe, pictures of the perfect body – so that you always have in mind what you are aiming for.
7. A QUEEN REBOUNDS FROM FAILURE
Of course, life is not a smooth ride. You will inevitably fail and have to overcome difficult trials. But they will shape your character. Use these failures as experiences that will make you stronger and wiser in the future. Use these mistakes to become better. This is the only way to get closer to success.
8. A QUEEN KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE HER MONEY
Financial independence will come when you are organised in your finances; when you invest in long-term projects rather than short-term needs – the latest clothes or shoes. In other words, when you earn far more than you spend. So make a spending plan that shows your salary and everything you have to pay: rent, utilities, insurance, transport, food, entertainment; and everything you have to save. This way you will never run out of money.
9. A QUEEN WORKS ON HER TALENTS
Sometimes it is not clear. That’s why you have to look for it. Find out what your talent is. Find out what you do better than others. Find out what makes you unique. That way you will know what you can bring to others and to the world. And above all, improve and excel in your chosen field.
10. A QUEEN IS AN AVID READER
“Tell me what you read and I will tell you who you are. Reading is a powerful factor for social advancement. It allows you to learn new things, meet new people and open up to the world. It gives you ideas and some keys to live a different and better life. It allows you to escape and see the world, life and others differently. It is vital. And even if you don’t like it, you’ll have to start doing it. Exit the celebrity press! Take an interest in the biographies of eminent people and books on personal development. You will never be the same person again.
11. A QUEEN SURROUNDS HERSELF WITH QUEENS
The people around you can either have a positive or a negative influence on you. It’s up to you to ask yourself the right questions about the people you associate with and what they bring to you. If the time you spend with them is never productive, always gossiping, causing problems and arguing, you may want to step away from them to foster healthier relationships. It’s not malice to do this. It’s just common sense. Stay with people who pull you up.
12. A QUEEN NEEDS A KING
Don’t fall into the trap of the overly independent woman who doesn’t need anyone. Don’t fall into the trap of women who think that “all men are bastards”. Otherwise, that’s what you’ll get every time: bastards. Instead, you need a man who pushes you to be the best you can be. A man who is as royal as you are. It’s simple: two are better than one.
13. A QUEEN DOES NOT GIVE HERSELF TO THE FIRST MAN WHO COMES ALONG
Our privacy is a precious commodity. And deserving should be the one to whom we offer it. That’s why it’s a mistake to have sex too soon with your partner, no matter what anyone says. As long as you don’t know who he is, his ambitions, his values, his principles, who he associates with… Don’t give in to the forbidden fruit. You will regret it.
14. A QUEEN DOES NOT LET A BREAK-UP GET HER DOWN
It will happen to you. And it will be painful. But not insurmountable. You may have been very much in love, but don’t make the mistake of cutting yourself off from everything and everyone in the hope that he’ll come back one day. Live your life as if nothing had happened. If he comes back, great; if not, too bad. And who knows? Life may have someone better in store for you who is more in line with your expectations.
15. A QUEEN NEVER FORGETS HER FRIENDS
Sometimes we can get so caught up in the excitement of a brand new relationship that we forget about the people who have always been there for us. And they suffer. This is dangerous, because a relationship can also end badly. And if it does, you will be all alone. Without anyone to confide in. Always make sure you balance things out and give your time to your sweetheart as well as to your friends.
16. A QUEEN KEEPS HER STANDARDS HIGH
Never be ashamed of your demands. Many people will tell you that you are asking too much of a man, that you will be left alone if you think that way, that you need to be more indulgent… Nonsense. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a man of your own level by your side. The person who is going to share your life will have a big influence on the person you will become, so it is normal to pay attention to this.
