Some thoughts on the female cycle

How well do you know your menstrual cycle?

Just recently I was at this lecture with Jenny Koos, and it blew my mind. I have learned soooooo much!

Disclaimer: when I talk about masculine and feminine here, I am talking about energies we all have in our bodies and minds, not the genders in particular. This article is directed towards people with a uterus (because those without don't reeeeeally have a cycle)

Being women (uterus carriers), we basically go though all 4 seasons of the year, within a 26-36 day phase (depending on your cycle).
Keeping track of your menstrual cycle is immensely important to your reproductive, hormonal, sexual, and most of all emotional health!
Some days within this month, just like some periods during the year, you might be more energetic, you might do more, see and understand more, be super horny, and other times you might just want to sit and come and organize your closet.
Society is a very masculine construction, and the rules within society wants us all to produce, produce, produce! And for that, living in cycles is not timely or appropriate, even if a woman might do more and better in shorter periods of time if she (us) took her time to listen to her body and her cycle.
And might I add - society pushing us to take pills, shots and all those preventative hormones and call it "freedom" is another way to eradicate our cycles, so we can be more like men.

My advice to you is to start tracking your cycle; when are you ovulating, how many days do you have fertile secretion, how regular is your period, how do you FEEL during the different days of your cycle?
Or at least, start by taking a minute and think about it... for example, what is your PMS telling you to do? Some things during the week before period might seem "over emotional" (because you're shamed for being a woman and sensitive, ugh), but that's exactly when you should listen to your body!
The random things that trigger anger or sadness, are usually the things you should have a look at.
Please share below any comments you might have about changes you noticed throughout your cycle, or any questions! ^_^
