3 Things I’m still learning about cycle syncing
A year ago, my monthly hormonal cycle was often a rollercoaster of debilitating cramps,, nausea, and mid-cycle anxiety. If you'd asked me then if I wanted a steady emotional state throughout my menstrual cycle, I'd have jumped at the idea. Fast forward to today, and my answer is a firm no.
What sparked this change? It's about expanding my knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the natural rhythm of my hormonal cycle. For me, cycle syncing is not a passing trend but a guiding force toward ease, confidence, and greater influence over my well-being – a means to comprehend my unique needs. Trusting the flow of my body, each day becomes an opportunity for reflection, cultivating habits that resonate for a lifetime.
In Harmony with Phases
Much like the moon's phases, our bodies have cycles. Cycle syncing transcends trends; it's a philosophy advocating collaboration over resistance. Recognising that our bodies, just like the the moon, have phases before feeling full again is the essence of empowerment through cycle syncing.
3 Insights in My Ongoing Journey
Celebrating Individuality: What works for others might not align with our unique rhythms.
Beyond Checklists: Our needs extend beyond mere checklists, encompassing experiences, stress levels, emotional fulfillment, and the quality of our rest.
An Ongoing Exploration: It's not about "hacking" hormones; it's a continuous journey of learning, growth, and exploration. It's about experiencing each cycle in a way that aligns with our personal truth.
As I keep expanding my knowledge on my cycle syncing journey, finding peace and surrendering to the natural rhythm of my body is becoming more and more important. Resistance ebbs away, replaced by a gentle flow that honors the uniqueness of each cycle.
Discovering Your Flow
Beyond the lessons lies the essence of cycle syncing – flowing with your body, not against it. It's about resting when tired, recognising the variability of sleep needs. This journey is more than wellness; it's strength, health, and a beautiful connection with your body.
Remember, cycle syncing is a personal journey. Finding what works for you and your unique body is key.
