Menstrual Phase - Nurturing Rest
During your menstrual phase, you might experience symptoms like cramps, and fatigue that are usually followed by lower energy levels compared to other days of your cycle. Don’t be afraid. We will hear our bodies first, and then we will arrange everything!
Morning:
Greeting the new day with a morning yoga would be a great beginning! Gentle yoga activities can provide you with deep relaxation. You can also treat yourself to a nutritious breakfast to support your body during the day. Don't forget to add a warm and delicious herbal tea to your menu!☕
Afternoon:
While the daily rush keeps going, nothing is better than taking a little break and going for a walk with your favorite podcast! Pamper yourself with a little time in nature accompanied by guided breathing exercises. You cannot believe how a minute change in breathing can alter your mood positively!
Evening:
Adapting your usual bedtime routine into a calmer one can promise you a great rest during your sleep. After taking a warm bath and completing your skincare routine, pick your favorite book from the shelf and enjoy your moment. Also, try to reduce your screen time as much as you can before sleep to maximize your relaxation during sleep.
Follicular Phase - Energize and Create
Sometimes, you feel like you will explode from energy overload. If this sounds familiar to you, welcome aboard! It is highly possible that you are in the follicular phase of your cycle in which your estrogen levels increase and your energy levels are at the top! Syncing your daily practices to your follicular phase is especially important during this phase to direct your energy to the way you need to reach your full potential!
Morning:
Pick your favorite hoodie and embrace the sun by jogging! Directing your energy to cardio as soon as you wake up will benefit you for the rest of the day. It will trigger your endorphin release which spreads happiness to your brain! Cycling might be another perfect practice for beginning during your follicular phase.
Afternoon:
Your creativity is also at its highest during this period! Engaging in activities that require creativity will show you how you can draw like an artist or write like an author. You can make bracelets, and ceramic pots or give your goods new looks by painting or decorating them! There is no better feeling than "I did it!" when you are asked about where you bought those beautiful bracelets 💪🏻
Evening:
Prepare yourself a protein-based meal for the evening which will support your body during this elevated energy period! Arranging your agenda for the next day can be a good motivation for defining new goals for yourself. Go to that museum you have always wondered about or sign up for that dance course every time you admire when you pass by. Seize the opportunity for things that you have always procrastinated!
Ovulatory Phase - Peak Energy
Time to add a little bit of socialization to your cycle-syncing recipe! Your confidence and energy levels are at their peak during the ovulatory phase. Put your extrovert side on the stage! 🎤
Morning:
Give yourself a quick start with a cardio workout accompanied by your favorite playlist! Prepare a colorful and delicious bowl with vitamin-rich fruits to have a nutritious breakfast. You can also pave the way for the rest of the day by doing some mindfulness exercises! Clear mind, clear goals🌞
Afternoon:
Spend some time with your loved ones to feed the social butterfly inside! Sleepovers or movie nights might be great opportunities to share a common space. Additionally, you can attend different ateliers in which you can find a place where you can easily express yourself while spending quality time with your friends!
Evening:
Although your extrovert side is extremely satisfied with your social activities, you should also be in touch with your introvert side as well. Balance should be your top priority in syncing your cycle. While closing the day, you can engage in more personal activities to have a calming sleep. You can write a journal that contributes to your overall well-being from many aspects, or you can follow guided meditation techniques. Adapting a relaxing bedtime routine is the best closing for today and the greatest beginning for tomorrow!
Luteal Phase - Embrace Stability
Since menstruation is on its way, it is normal to experience some discomfort in your body as well as a negative mood. However, we will not surrender to these symptoms, right? If so, grab your comforting weapons and join us in this stability journey!
Morning:
Relaxing activities would be a great starter for the luteal phase of your cycle! You can do yoga or pilates to relieve the tension in your body. Stretching goes beyond your muscles and helps reduce your anxiety and stress as well. You now know that having a nutritious breakfast is important. It is also crucial to consume enough water throughout your cycle. We are staying hydrated, aren't we? 😉
Afternoon:
Things that you need to do might create a little more anxiety during these days. It is more than welcome to take a deep breath and take a second to put your work in order. Try not to put yourself under too much pressure. Rather, take your agenda and set deadlines for your goals according to your limits. Don't let your responsibilities drown you! Remember, our main purpose is to maintain your overall well-being by syncing your cycle.
Evening:
It is time to go into your shell and have a good rest from the daily stresses. Reward yourself with your comfort movie with a warm herbal tea! Balancing your exhaustion from the day with a little "me time" will enhance your mood before the end of the day. Adding a little reading time before going to sleep can help clean your mind and prepare yourself for a good sleep!
Premenstrual Phase - Nurture and Reflect
As menstruation comes closer, you can experience symptoms like abdominal cramps, headaches, breast tenderness, food cravings, or mood swings. It is okay to be a little flexible these days and give yourself more space to rest and engage more in relaxation techniques. At the end of the day, your body is going through many changes and thus, it is important to understand its necessities and give appropriate responses to maintain both physical and emotional well-being.
Morning:
Begin your day with a gentle meditation that will ease your nerves and prepare your mind for the upcoming tasks. Also, creating a mental map as a guideline for the day will contribute to your stress management. Do not forget to have a balanced breakfast to get the energy you will need all day! Last but not least, pay attention to your hydration and be sure to refill your water bottle frequently!
Afternoon:
Be more flexible with yourself for your daily tasks and take short breaks if your body needs to. Do breathing exercises anytime you feel overwhelmed during the day and take your time to relax. If you don't feel good how come you can do the things you need to do? A little break will not harm anyone. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body, it will tell you a lot. 🥰
Evening:
Congratulations! You made it to the end of the day. Now it is time to celebrate yourself🥳 A warm bath with your favorite shower gel is an excellent way to get rid of the negative energy and fatigue of the day. After rewarding your body, do not forget to clear your mind as well! Mindfulness exercises are the perfect remedy! They will prepare you to sleep and help you heal from all the stress you went through during the day.
