Cycle awareness
After some intense years of bearing two children and starting my own business, my body suddenly said it was enough. For months I kept bleeding, for which my doctor gave me a prescription of the pill as THE solution.
I decided to skip the pill and started tracking my cycle, and how it also impacted my emotions. I began seeing patterns on a personal and professional level that had been a blind spot for a long time.
Did you know that every phase of your cycle has an immense impact on your energy level, your creativity and your state of mind? In every phase of your cycle there are different hormones ruling and deciding how you feel - emotionally, physically and mentally.
Energy
Naturally I’m an enthusiast and a starter. I get a lot of insights and due to my impatience I started planning the execution of those ideas systematically two weeks later. I started noticing that my energy level was below zero by the time of implementation, and I would prefer crawling underneath my duvet. Often it led to self-criticism and disappointment in myself.
By tracking my cycle I began to realize that these phases corresponded with the stages of my cycle and I started taking that into account.
Tracker
https://www.nimzuandmore.be/product/mood-tracker/Ik ontwierp de Mood Tracker om anderen daarbij te ondersteunen en te motiveren. Je kan deze kopen op de webshop. Door dagelijks even stil te staan bij jezelf zal je sneller patronen herkennen. Deze inzichten kunnen je bijvoorbeeld meer rust brengen of je helpen om je productiviteit in te plannen. De Mood Tracker helpt je om een jaar lang je cyclus bij te houden. Meer informatie over hoe je de moodtracker gebruikt vind je here.
Booking
Organizing an event where you would like to introduce cycle awareness? I’ll be happy to explain the ins and outs. I already gave workshops at different high schools, women’s circles and teambuildings. For more information, please send an e-mail to info@nimzuandmore.be.
