Chingona is one of those words you either love or you hate. I grew up thinking it was a bad word, however as I got older "Chingona" became tough, badass, more of an attitude. I guess it depends on the tone in which it is said. Many women are choosing to embrace their "chingona", and I think there's no time like the now to do so. :)

Sandra Cisneros has 10 easy steps on how to be a chingona

1. Live for your own approval. Center yourself. Be alone. Create your own space.

2 .Discover your own powers. What floods you with joy?

3 .Find true humility and practice it.

4 .Keep your palabra, your word.

5. What are you using to cover or mask your pain? Address it.

6. Your only true possessions are your actions.

7. Seek forgiveness.

8. Live in the present moment.

9. Depression has a purpose if you use it before it uses you. (Profound wisdom). Transform it to light. Compost it through art. If you can’t do it by yourself, see a professional curandera (healer, therapist).

10. Listen to your body.
