THE COLOUR OF YOUR BLOOD⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know the colour of your menstrual cycle blood? Do you know why it is sometimes a much darker shade in the beginning and then changes? No? Well, you should! I'll be posting a pretty handy blog post tomorrow afternoon (birthday celebrations got in the way today, soz) ALL about the colours and consistency of your blood and what it means. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, it matters. You should be paying attention to your body and especially your bleeds. You're welcome 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know what any of it means?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Women's Wellness Wednesday!. Why is the colour of my bleed really dark/black to begin with?

SLOWLY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SLOWLY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you emerge from your bleed? One thing I have noticed this time around is a huge surge in energy which has resulted in me wanting to do ALL the things. However, I know myself. I know that if I push too much in my early spring, I will crash and burn by the beginning of my Autumn. And it will not be pretty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, paying attention to my excess energy and channeling it in a way that is constructive while still reserving some of my energy is the key for my emerging slowly. You can still do more things than you would have in your Winter but take note of what you are doing and if, intuitively, it feels like too much. Remember that episode on boundaries in your Spring? Go over to the podcast and have a listen as it gives some great tips on how to reserve your energy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

MEDITATION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀

MEDITATION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you meditate? I do off and on, especially when I need to calm my mind or stop the buzzing that goes on when I am stretched/out of alignment/tired. It doesn't take me long to listen to a guided meditation to feel better/more myself/rested.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today over on the podcast, I've given you a version of my Spring Season meditation. Something to dive into when you are in your Spring and need a bit of love for yourself, a bit of comfort. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Link in my bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me, do you meditate? And meditation is not just sitting super still with nothing going on in your brain-it is fluid, just like life :)

WEEKEND⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WEEKEND⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's on your plans this weekend?! Yes, I know it is Saturday and the weekend is almost over (unless it is a Bank Holiday for you in the UK!). I am working REAL hard at disconnecting on Sunday and I do think it may be a good idea to delete the Instagram app on that day?! Does anyone do that? Let me know what is on your plans this weekend and how you disconnect and re-fill your cup!

It's OK to Not Be Ok. Let's talk a bit about overwhelm snd giving yourself some grace....

WORDS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A bit of a segway from Menstrual Cycle Awareness today. I wanted to talk about words and our stories. We all have stories and journeys we are on. Some we want to be on and others that we don't. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And a huge part of our stories is the words we use. Every day we use them to describe ourselves, others, our circumstances. Have you ever noticed the power in your word? The power to inflict pleasure or discomfort? To bring about hope or despair? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Words are magical and it is so important that we feel the full weight of what we say. Ever heard the saying 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me'? That's because words DO hurt. They DO break down walls or build them. They DO wipe away carefully curated rainbows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So let's all be a bit more mindful of our words and how they can bring about magic, mmkay? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BREATHE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BREATHE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And some days, all we can do is breathe...We think something is one way and we realise it isn't. We realise it is the opposite of what we thought and that is ok. We can just breathe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our bodies talk to us every day. Most of us, however, have gotten very good at not listening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has become normal to feel tired all of the time or to have pain here or there. It has become normal to sleep badly and to be cranky. But none of that is normal when it happens all of the time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over on the podcast (link in bio!) we talk about self-care in our Spring Season ( I know, I know, self-care is SO battered around these days but I promise, my definition is different!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go on over and have a listen and let me know what kind of self-care you are going to partake in during your Spring season! I am going to clean all the baseboards....

SELF CARE IS OVERRATED⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SELF CARE IS OVERRATED⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Monday's podcast is all about Self-Care in your Spring season...and you know what? I think the traditional idea/definition of self-care is overrated. What, I hear you gasp!? I do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, honestly, what do YOU think of when you hear that term? I think massages, saunas, relaxing. And you know what? Not all of that is relaxing to me, or to others. I figure if we are going to do shit to fill up our cups to overflow (yes, still not tired of that quote) then we should at least ENJOY it. So think about it. What makes your soul sing or your heart shimmy? What makes you go all goosebumpy with excitement? Once you tap into that, your self-care won't be overrated any longer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go up to the links in my blog to get a few of my ideas on my kind of self-care and head over to the podcast on Monday for ways to minimise overwhelm and burnout-two common occurrences when we do too much in our Spring season due to the increased energy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SOMETIMES Y'ALL NEED TO WAIT⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am not going to get profound. I am pretty sure this quote speaks for itself. Sometimes I need to rest and sometimes you need to wait.

SACRED REST OR WHATEVER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SACRED REST OR WHATEVER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care is a huge buzz word and has been for quite some time. And I think a lot of us DO practice a form of self-care. What I don't think we practice enough of is rest. (Psst! If you want some great talk around rest go visit my dear friend @heymargaretjames!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, though, rest is the act of moving slowly on a morning, of getting up, stretching, making my coffee, and getting back into bed to read and wake up slowly. It is leaving a few minutes earlier so that I don't have to power walk to school. It is not overloading my already overloaded brain with too much chatter and thought about things I can't control. It is getting outside in the garden to breathe in the fresh air and (if I am lucky!) feel the sun on my face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can find rest in many different ways throughout our day...how do you find rest? We will be chatting about self-care in our Spring season over on the podcast (release date Monday the 19th!) Let me know how you find rest in the comments...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
