BEST SELF-CARE ROUTINES DURING YOUR PERIOD // THE RELEASE PHASE

What if we changed our perspective on what our period actually is?

Many women associate the days leading up to and during their period with feeling emotional, bloated, or low on energy. While this can be true, we can also reframe this phase as a time when we become more inward-focused and deeply in tune with our emotions and intuition. It’s a time of release and restoration—an invitation to slow down, recharge, and let go of what no longer serves us, preparing us for the next phase—a time when many experience renewed energy, heightened creativity, and increased confidence.

Remember that while it’s common to experience discomfort during our cycle, it’s not normal to suffer significantly. Our bodies deserve care and balance.

Here are some of our favourite ways to find relief and embrace this time:

COZY CLOTHING
Opt for soft, breathable fabrics that help us feel relaxed and at ease.

GENTLE YOGA
Gentle yoga can help ease cramps and improve our mood.

JOURNALING
Journaling is a great way to process emotions and connect with our intuition. New ideas often emerge during this practice.

GO OFFLINE
Embrace this inward-focused time to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with our true selves.

CRYING
Tears not only offer emotional relief but also release stress hormones, which can leave us feeling calmer and more balanced. Embracing the release of emotions through crying can help us feel more connected to ourselves and clear emotional blockages.

WALKS
A simple walk in nature can do wonders for our mental well-being and help us recharge.

MOVEMENT
Movement can boost our energy levels and alleviate discomfort. Remember, we’re all different—tune in to what your body needs and adjust accordingly.

Embrace this period—the release phase—and start planning for it. Let’s use our cycle to support our well-being, enhance our creativity, and align our activities with our energy levels.
