Are You Owning Pink or Have You Lost Your Mojo?

Are you Owning Pink? I don't know about you all, but I'm a sucker for quizzes, so I thought I'd throw one out there!

 

Take the quiz and find out if you're in desperate need of mojo recovery or if you're a Pink Goddess.


 


1. Compared to a time in my life when I was my best self, I am:


A. 0% of my best self. What even is a “best self?”


B.25% of my best self. I can remember my best self, but it’s been awhile.


C.50% of my best self. Glimmers of my best self flicker through and remind me of who I can be.


D.75% of my best self. Although I’ve been better in the past, I’m getting close to being my best self again.


E.100% of my best self. My best self is me, right here and now.




 

 


2. I prioritize my physical health:


A.Never. I do nothing to care for myself and my health reflects it.


B.Rarely. I engage in a few healthy behaviors, but I don’t prioritize it.

C.Often. I take pretty good care of myself.

D.Most of the time. I am very careful about my health.

E.Always. I follow a strictly healthy diet, exercise regularly, seek appropriate health care, avoid abusive substances, and am vigilant about caring for my body.


3. My creative life is:


A.Nonexistent. I don’t have a creative bone in my body.


B.Minimal. I doodle in the margins and write the occasional letter.


C.Good. Others may not notice, but I have my own way of expressing myself that feels creative to me.


D.Great. Everyone thinks of me as a creative type, and my work and/or hobbies sustain me creatively.


E. Optimal. Most of my activities are creative, and I can’t imagine living more creatively.


4. My spiritual life is:


A.Nonexistent. I lack any spiritual spark.


B. Weak. But the flame of spirituality is still glimmering somewhere in there.


C.Satisfying. I engage in some sort of spiritual activity occasionally, whether it’s going to church, practicing yoga, meditating, or communing with my God/Goddess in nature


D.Very fulfilling. I feel the presence of the divine in my everyday life and dedicate time to nurturing my spirituality.


E.Transcendent. I have experienced profoundly transformative interactions with the divine in a very personal way, and am devoted to furthering my spiritual life.


5.My sex life is:

A. Nonexistent. I never have sex, not even with myself.


B.Unsatisfying. Sex is infrequent, painful, unfulfilling, unpartnered, or otherwise fails to meet my needs.


C.Good. I don’t have any major complaints, but it could be better.


D.Great. I don’t have problems, all of my needs are met, and I’m generally satisfied.


E. Mind-blowing. I go to great lengths to ensure that my sex life is as satisfying as it could be, and it’s never been better.


6. When I look in the mirror, I see:


A. A tired, stressed-out, hopeless mess.


B. A woman who is struggling to keep her head above water but hasn’t lost the will to keep swimming.


C. A woman who is getting by, but has lost her joie de vivre.


D. A healthy, relaxed woman who appears happy.


E. A blissed-out woman who is in the flow.


7. My network of close family and intimate friends is:


A.Nonexistent. I’m a total loner.

B.Small. I have a few key people I count on, but I’m a bit of a hermit.


C.Average. I have times when I feel connected to family and friends and times when I feel more alone.


D. Abundant. I feel loved and cherished by many people.


E.Overflowing. My network of support extends beyond family and personal friends to include an extensive network of people who appreciate me but don’t know me personally.


8. When it comes to an intimate partnership, I:


A.Have nobody. I suspect I’ll be alone forever.


B.Have passing flings, but nobody special.


C.Am in a relationship, but I’m not sure it’s going anywhere.


D.Am in a very healthy, committed relationship.


E.Adore my partner and believe it will last forever.


9. Compared to when my life was most stressful, my current situation is:


A.A basket case. My life has never been more stressful.


B.Very stressful. My stress level has been worse in the past, but not by much.


C.Mildly stressful. Stress comes and goes, but I cope with it pretty well.


D.Not stressful. I may have speed bumps, but they don’t bother me.


E.Blissful. My life is smooth sailing right now.


10.About being a woman, I:


A.Despise being a woman. I feel cursed and wish I had been born male.


B.Feel limited by being female, but I accept my fate.


C.Am indifferent to being a woman. I’ve never really thought about it.


D.Like being a woman and enjoy many aspects of being female.


E.Can’t imagine not being female. It is the essence of my being, and I revel in the many joys it brings.


Now give yourself 1 point for every A answer, 2 points for every B, 3 points for every C, 4 points for every D, and 5 points for every E. Add your score together and scroll down to interpret your results.


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


<15 Where did your mojo go? Time to start thinking about where it might be hidden. I promise you it's somewhere buried under the heap of “stuff” that isn’t you, and we can help you find it. We have the shovel and the flashlight - let's go digging! Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.


 


16-20 Your mojo is wounded, but there's still a bright Pink spark in there somewhere. A little fresh water, a bit of bright sun, and some Pink fertilizer, and you're ready to sprout, Pinkie! All you have to do is decide to Own Pink now. A glistening Pink light is shining at the end of the tunnel, and all you have to do is move forward. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.


 


21-25 Your mojo energy is pretty neutral - not too flashy, not too dim. You’ve had better times in your life, but you’ve had worse too. You’re on the Pink path already, but you’ve got a ways to travel before finding your Pink nirvana. Don’t give up hope. The Pink future is bright all you have to do is commit to Owning Pink now. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.


 


26-30 Your mojo is intact, and you’re doing a good job of Owning Pink already, but a there’s still room for Pink growth. Supporting yourself in your quest to Own Pink will fill your Pink tank to help you through the rough times. Keep the faith, nurture your soul, and you’ll maintain your Pinkness, your health, and your mojo. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie..


 


>30 You go girl! You’re a hot Pink goddess who is Owning the hell out of Pink. Owning Pink comes naturally to you, but that doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from supporting your Pinkness. Commit to Owning Pink now, and you’ll enjoy a life of Pink nirvana. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.


 


How did you do? What do you think of your score. Please post comments and tell us! Just Own it, baby- wherever you are. There's lots of Pink hope out there, but the first step is to recognize where you are right now...


 


Stay Pink!


Lissa

Wow, I scored high enough to

Wow, I scored high enough to get a "You go girl!" which is a real eye opener. Sure doesn't feel like it most of the time. Maybe I oughta stop complaining so much and focus on the positive so the mojo which is obviously there can operate to the max.

Looking forward to reading more on this site.

Got a 38. Not bad, not bad at

Got a 38. Not bad, not bad at all. I'm happy with my life situation and frankly, some of your answers for E were a bit unrealistic. Such as for question 8 "E.Adore my partner and believe it will last forever." Adore, yes, believe it will last forever, well, I'd like to, but not everything last forever. Better answer to that would be something like...Adore my partner, no one can come close"

Got a 31. Doesn't feel that way. Scored lower on making time for me type of questions. I knew I was neglecting me a bit, but doing the quiz and scoring answers helped put things in perspective. Thanks, Lissa. It was fun.

I scored a 30-- I need a little work (spirituality, lower stress level), but not too bad. I was in a 4-year relationship since I was 20 and am now just 'finding' myself in who I want to be and what I want to do :)

I got a 37! Having to quit

I got a 37! Having to quit the career I had worked towards for so long after just 3 months of doing the job, was one of the hardest decisions I have made in my life. And though I now have to start all over from the start, I am as happy as I can be! Its hard at times but I'm always looking at the pink side!

36!!! Oh yeah! Though, my stress level (money & a crazy family) and not being at my optimal weight are generally what brings me down, life is pretty dang good ~~ I'm still swimmin'!!

Taylor, you go girl! And yes, we wrote this quiz ages ago - and now that Owning Pink has come into its own, I agree that we need to modify it. Let us work on it! But in the mean time, honor yourself as the Pink Goddess you are. Big PINK hugs to you, Love Lissa

Wow! A 42! :D That really

Wow! A 42! :D That really brightened my day, haha. College is a good look for me, I think! :) I think the relationship is a bit unfair though - you should add something about just being happy with where you are instead of having to be in a relationship. I'm not in a relationship, and I'm learning so much about myself and what I like and don't like just from my past experiences, the fleeting dating experiences I still have, and just being single! I truly believe that you have to get comfortable with yourself, by yourself, before you can let someone in. So I'm not in a relationship at the moment, and I'm totally fine with that! Also, what's wrong with having some stress in life? Moderate amounts are supposed to be healthy; it's just when it gets to be in excess (or overwhelming) that there's a problem. But life would be awfully boring if I had nothing to do and nothing to work for! (I absolutely LOVE school but it'd be a complete and total lie to say that majoring in chemistry is never stressful, haha!)

Thanks for the quiz! Just knowing that I scored that high gave me a confidence boost. :)

Wow. 31. I surprised myself.

Wow. 31. I surprised myself. I was expecting a low score. Thanks for adding the "not even with myself". That helped my score. Oh my. I think I'm coming out of my shell. I have to give some of the credit to my favorite singer, Jason Mraz.:)

one of the ways that i look

one of the ways that i look at my high score is that i have lived a long life already with many mistakes that i have learned from. the other experience that allows me to capture joy in the moment is being a two time breast cancer "aliver". the score came out at 38, altho receiving a only a 1 on question 8 and a 2 on question 9. my home of over 20+ years is in foreclosure, contributing to immense stress. if i ever do figure out how to find someone who wants to truly 'partner' with me, that will be pleasing as well. but having two fabulous grown children with my first grandbaby on the way-ecstacy also resides here. i want to own the pink!

35! Although, sometimes I believe my mojo is intact and other days off the charts; I suppose I can act as the Sybil of mojo..lol Today my mood could takes me to 25 or so. The beautiful thing about being a woman is being ok with where you are. Today, I give myself permission to be ...adequate. PMS..perhaps!

Nice, eye-opening quiz... My

Nice, eye-opening quiz... My score of 26 doesn't surprise me. I can't imagine another physical relationship again. There is something to be said about "moving on." At 58 years old I'm into a whole different life-style now. The less complicated the better. A little more me... A lot less obligation to that which confines (except for the grand-kids, that is. Gotta take of care of them, always. They're my heart.)

Yippee! Some Pink Goddesses

Yippee! Some Pink Goddesses here! I hear ya, Melissa & Jaime. The quiz should help you identify which areas might need a little tender loving care. If you're having trouble connecting to your body, Jaime, try doing a body blessing every day. Close your eyes and scroll through all your body parts,starting at the top of your head. Bless each part of your body. Pay attention to any negative associations you might have, such as "I hate my ass." Try to turn those around into affirmations, such as "Thank you, bottom for supporting me when I sit." Do this for every body part. If you do it regularly, it can help with the task of learning to inhabit your own body. We'll be talking more about the issue of living in your own skin in upcoming posts, so stay tuned.

I got 34 too! Yeah me! But I

I got 34 too! Yeah me! But I don't quite FEEL like a 34, because there are several questions I got a 5 on, but a few where I only got a 2. Those 2's make me sad. :(

I got a 24, so I am in the middle of everything. I think abundant creativity and a steady relationship saved me from the bottom of the list. However, I am so disconnected with my body that we are strangers who occupy the same space.

If you read the fine print,

If you read the fine print, Trish (aka MOM!), the question says:

5.My sex life is:

A. Nonexistent. I never have sex, not even with myself.

B.Unsatisfying. Sex is infrequent, painful, unfulfilling, unpartnered, or otherwise fails to meet my needs.

C.Good. I don’t have any major complaints, but it could be better.

D.Great. I don’t have problems, all of my needs are met, and I’m generally satisfied.

E. Mind-blowing. I go to great lengths to ensure that my sex life is as satisfying as it could be, and it’s never been better.

If you read the A answer carefully it says "not even with myself." So yes, you can have mojo and still not have a man :)

(Okay, was that weird? Did I just tell my mother to masturbate???)

This test is unfair to we

This test is unfair to we older women who no longer have a male relationship. I am learning to have my MOJO without a man. There is nothing on the quiz for those of us for don't have a man and therefore score a few 1's. Add a section on satisfied without. Although I'd like to find a new relationship since my husband's death, I still must find my MOJO now without.
