Femininity, I remember you.
Now that I’m learning more about my cycle, I’m realizing that everything should be more of a weekly rotation. It’s not about going hard in the am 3-5 times a week and resting on the weekend, like we’ve all been taught. While men have daily phases (morning, noon, and night), women have weekly phases that are referred to as seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. This is wild for me because what, there’s nothing wrong with us. We would thrive in a world that respects and honors our cycle. Just imagine being like:
“Man, it’s dead in the middle of winter season for me, professor, I cannot handle this workload right now.
And they say, “I totally understand. Let’s do some review so you get the practice, and we’ll work on the heavy mental lifting in a week or so.” Mind blown!
I feel kind of silly talking about this, but it’s crazy because I shouldn’t feel silly for desiring a world that honors women’s cycles.
This is a more complex machine than I realized. I mean, it may only feel complex because I never synced anything to my cycle. All these small details can feel overwhelming, so I’m going to take it one day at a time.
My goal with cycle syncing is to learn
- What foods I should eat
- What physical movement I should focus on
- what type productivity is best
Each cycle has its own thing; for example, there’s one phase that’s best for networking and taking action. Another phase is more about gentle planning with no action, introspection, and rest. I’m loving this journey and where my path to embracing my femininity is taking me.
