You are different in every phase! During the menstrual cycle, our hormones are in a constant state of flux. Fluctuations in our hormones can change energy levels, well-being, concentration, and creative thinking. With Cybele, we can optimize our disadvantageous periods. Let's not forget that creative activities change periodically.
This article sheds light on how women can understand the effects of the menstrual cycle on their creativity and boost their creativity based on each cycle phase.🌙
1. Menstrual Phase: Restorative Creativity
You can be inspired by emotional fluctuations: Listen to your body, it's a great time to rest and release the electricity in your body. Your feelings and emotions during your period can help you discover your rhythm and inspire your creative work.
Get in touch with nature: Fresh air, earth, flowers, and a nice picnic. Being in contact with the earth and grass will help you to refresh, open your perceptions, and contribute to your creativity.
Use your imagination: During this period, you can paint and narrate your dreams.
Don't neglect meditation: Meditation practices in nature reduce stress, restore our mental health, and help us discover new ideas. 🌈
2. Follicular Phase: Planning and Brainstorming
Don't postpone your plans: Where is that dessert recipe you've been wanting to try? Or that fantastic book you've meant to read? What about that famous movie? There was even the idea of learning a new language... The follicular phase is perfect for all these.
Focus on your goals: Be inspired by your energy and imagination to realize your goals. Since energy levels are high during the follicular period, it is a time to focus on the big picture and plan for long-term goals.🍀
Turn to different sources of inspiration to boost your creativity: Discover new recipes, create playlists, read books, and visit exhibitions, museums, or artworks to get new ideas. Take creative workshops or courses. Learning new things in painting, writing, music or any other artistic field can be motivating.
3. Ovulatory Phase: Peak Energy for Dynamic Creativity
Direct your energy and take action: The ovulation phase is the peak of women's energy levels. You can try some strategies to channel energy into dynamic and creative pursuits. Physical activity and exercise is an excellent idea. Going camping, participating in or organizing dancing, running, or other sports and social activities can boost your energy and increase your mental focus. 💪
Focus on the goal: Thinking about various topics from different perspectives and practicing visualization-based meditations can support your creativity during open perception and increase flexibility.🎯
4. Luteal Phase: Focused and Detail-Oriented Creativity
Focus and create: During the luteal period, progesterone levels increase, energy levels are more balanced, and the ability to plan and pay attention to detail increases. 🌺
Expand your research: There has never been a better time to expand your research! Creating a to-do list, developing new strategies, delving deeper into the topics you are curious about, reading lots of newspapers, magazines, and books, exercising your organizational skills, creating a balanced diet for the long term, and organizing your garden will add value to your life and creativity activities. 🌱
Take small steps: Don't be too harsh on yourself, especially in this phase. In this phase, you can monitor your performance with small steps such as reducing screen time, adjusting portions, and tracking sleep time.
5. Premenstrual Phase: Expressive and Cathartic Creativity
Emotional intensity is not a barrier to creativity: Changes in hormone levels during PMS can increase emotional intensity and this is the inspiration for expressive and cathartic creativity.
Focus on expressive creativity: Expressive creativity focuses on expressing the inner world. It represents various art forms such as crafts, handicrafts, and DIY (do-it-yourself) projects, writing, dancing, and making music.
Don't forget cathartic creativity: Cathartic creativity is for reducing stress or emotional heaviness, a process of inner cleansing and healing.🦋
Protect your well-being: Resting during the premenstrual phase and not neglecting our self-care can enhance our creativity. Keeping a journal and understanding our emotional process can help us get to know ourselves and make it easier to focus on our needs. 🌷
6. Mindful Meditation: Tapping into Subconscious Creativity
Determine your focus: Your focus can be choices such as breathing, body sensations, or environmental sounds. 🧘
Embody your meditation: Writing down or picturing thoughts, feelings, and experiences in meditation is an effective way to access and customize the subconscious mind.☀️
Use Affirmations and Positive Affirmations: Sending positive messages to our subconscious mind strengthens our motivation and opens the doors to creative thoughts.
