A Complete Beginner’s Guide: Cycle Syncing Lifestyle
How to start living in harmony with your natural rhythm as a woman.
A few years ago I started being more intentional with my life and how I take care of myself. Cycle syncing is the tool that brought me closer to my body and I honestly feel more at peace in my own skin than ever.
I’m not even joking when I say, my mind is absolutely blown by the information related to cycle syncing and I’m fuming about why we were not educated enough about our menstrual cycle. I mean everything is linked to our menstrual cycle, our mental health, our weight, our productivity, our fertility, the way we show up for others, and the way we perform and create.
Literally, everything.
I learned so much about my body as a woman and I completely transformed how I show up in my world in a more positive way.
The more I implemented cycle syncing in my life, the more I felt in touch with my body’s needs and rhythms.
I noticed peaks of productivity and creativity within few months of cycle syncing. I always say “I wish I knew about this in my early years”, and now I am so passionate about letting other women experience the benefits of cycle syncing.
So what is cycle syncing?
Cycle syncing is creating a lifestyle, habits, exercises and routines in sync with the four phases of your menstrual cycle.
So everything that you do can either support your hormones balance or throw you off balance.
Every phase is different and unique. Every phase needs different kind of foods, exercises, skin routines, and social schedules.
A cycle is 28 days, not just the three or five days of your period. And within the 28 days, there are four different phases or inner seasons that women go through every single month.
The four phases of your menstrual cycle
- Menstrual phase | inner winter (day 1–5) . This is where you start bleeding and your energy is the lowest. Support your body, prioritise your self care and self love during this phase.
- Follicular phase | inner spring (day 6–12). Your energy levels are starting to rise and you are ready to be more organised and goal oriented.
- Ovulatory phase | inner summer (day 13–17). This is where you feel the baddest as you should. You are radiating, glowing and feeling on top of your game. It’s your time to shine. Green light for those trying to get pregnant.
- Luteal phase | inner autumn (day 18–28). Your energy levels are dropping, your body is getting ready for your next bleed. Stick to your daily tasks, eat more healthy carbs and avoid launching new projects.
Now, every woman is different these are standard and approximately put together numbers. I recommend tracking your period to decide how long your body bleeds then starting from there.
Please consult a doctor or a professional health practitioner if you bleed less than three days and more than seven days.
