Spring 101


Listen Later

This episode is all about your spring! No, I don't mean the spring going on outside, I mean the one going on in your body-just keeping track of notes so that I am not too long-winded!

Spring 101! What do you need to know about your Spring? This is the time in your cycle, you'll have had your Bleed (your winter), you will feel your energy rising (hormones are rising!) you'll feel more energetic, feel much more vibrant and not as sluggish or tired as you had in your Winter. This will last about 7-10 days and is called the Follicular phase (not that I talk about what is going on in that way!). Imagine what is happening in Spring outside? In the wild? Things are blossoming, growing, more energy-you are excited to tackle new projects, you feel more optimistic.

Spring is a great time to:

*Start a new healthy eating kick

*Exercise regime

*New project

You have so much energy to do this now. Start small and find accountability.

You feel more confident and more like you can get things done-estrogen is rising and our Follicle Stimulating Hormone is on the rise here. You will feel like you are moving more towards being out-you are a sleepy flower blossoming.

Schedule busy weeks during this time as well as Summer-tapping into your natural energy stores. Momentum and motivation are SUPER high right now.

If you are working on a business, you have:

*More clarity

*Mental focus is high

*Much more independent

*Physical stamina

Think big bold action, working longer hours. If you don't work for yourself but can arrange projects to fall during this time-I highly recommend it! Look at your calender-SCHEDULE IT OUT.

Grounding into our body and noticing your patterns, you will start to notice higher energy and lower energy.

Be mindful of our inner critic and overdoing it! If you have a surge of energy be mindful of not using it all and burning out. Slow and steady wins the race! You don't have to push so much just because you can. Contemplate new ideas and don't jump the gun too quickly. Let them percolate like a good cup of coffee.

Spring is a great time to start to shrug off the fog and this helps us to get those projects off the ground. To help me shrug off that fog, I take walks in the morning (especially during the actual spring!). It allows me to get some movement in my day and to contemplate my schedule.

The Spring allows you to understand your limits, to keep the tenderness, playfulness, it is precious, this learning of our boundaries.

The next episode is all about Self-Care in Our Spring!
