Imagine having a magical map that tells you exactly when to rest, when to start new projects, and when it’s the perfect time for adventures. Maisie Hill’s book Period Power gives us just that map – but instead of treasure, we’re discovering the secrets of our own bodies!
Why Bother?
As Maisie Hill beautifully puts it: „If you know the weather forecast, you can reschedule your picnic.“ The same goes for our cycle! Knowing which phase you’re in helps you align your plans with your energy and emotions. And when the storm’s coming? Just take your inner umbrella with you!
The Phases of Your Wonderland Journey:
- Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): Time to retreat into the cozy corners of your own world, sip tea, and plan. You’re the Queen of your realm, so indulge in the rest you need.
- Follicular Phase (Days 6-13): Energy returns! This is the time to plant ideas and start projects – the seeds of your future adventures.
- Ovulatory Phase (Days 14-21): Peak phase! The crazy tea party begins – now you can do anything! Meetings, negotiations, and big decisions feel easy. Ride the wave!
- Luteal Phase (Days 22-28): The magic starts to fade, and you feel the need to withdraw. No worries – this is the time to wrap things up and give yourself some care. Get ready for the next cycle!
Your Wonderland Journal:
Why keep a journal? Because your cycle is as mysterious as the hidden paths in Wonderland! Write down how you feel, think, and experience – and discover how your hormones are pulling the strings:
- How’s your mood today?
- What’s your energy level – flying high or strolling leisurely?
- What physical changes do you notice?
- And what are you craving – adventure or rest?
