Happy anniversary @richbergs... I’d marry you every day❤️
Lifting the lid on the back parts of my brain to finish this book... Have I included everything? Said too much? Too little? The (beginning of the) end is in sight! (I think!) What did you wish you knew when you were 11-15ish about your cycle?
Thank you dear @sunshiine226 for capturing this moment of transition from #give to #take aka #pms from #mygreatestperiodever @nannupmusicfestival ❤️Thank you also to @leunigstudio for encapsulating the feeling in seasonal form with this interview of an autumn leaf 🍂#day24
A post dedicated to PMS aka the TAKE phase. Probably the most misunderstood, the most maligned time of the cycle. ”Oh it’s just my hormones,” you’ll hear people say in exasperation. Nope, it’s not just your #hormones. It’s the clash between what’s going on inside and how we feel/we have to be in the world. We are more likely to feel snappy and irritable because of this huge disconnect. You’ve just come off the back of two pretty intense weeks- doing (pre-ovulation), giving (post ovulation) and if you expect yourself to maintain this level of productivity and generosity and skid into your TAKE phase in empty? Of course you’ll suffer (and so might others in close proximity). Smaller things can feel catastrophic. So try and scaffold yourself. Don’t expect as much from yourself and when you get the ffffffarrrrrk feeling- do something creative. Something that makes you feel the most like you. I like to write songs. To make cake and eat it. Try and tune in to what your body is really aching for. And then don’t feel guilty for giving if to yourself. You’re about to pull some walls down and it’s normal to need space and room because you’re getting ready to let go. You are looking at everything through a super critical lens - it’s all potentially on the table for letting go! Nothing is safe! But you can find ways to channel it. Physically, you might feel like a tightly coiled spring so use exercise to burn some of this ‘fizzy’ energy. I also like to do the pruning in the garden. It gives me a productive way to feel vicious! I like culling my wardrobe here too. “Get out you hideous old holey thing! In the bin for YOU!” Ha. That feels quite good. I’m #day23 and heading into this territory and lucky that I can give myself what I need. Right now it’s all going in the book! But if you are currently #premenstrual I hope helps for now. What do you do to care for yourself at this time when no one knows what’s going on inside for you and there’s pressure to be at peak performance #everydamnday?
