Noticing that one week you skip the gym, pilates and your morning runs, and the next you’re on fire going from 0 to a 100. This doesn’t make you a failure, it just means you’re honouring your cycle. Your natural flow. Women have been conditioned to operate like machines that never stop, but that’s not who you are. Your body is made for rest and repair, especially during your cycle. Your energy levels come in waves, that you often can’t predict. You feel things deeply, life impacts you, and time is required to integrate and process, which might mean slowing down. But here’s the catch, this isn’t a period for guilt and shaming. It’s a time to listen. What is your body letting you know? How can I love and nourish myself during this rest period? What needs to be expressed? All pivotal questions to ask. Because to honour your creativity as a woman is to truly live in accordance with your natural cycles.
