In alignment with the physical changes that occur throughout a woman's monthly cycle, so too, do the emotions. Navigating this internal landscape can be difficult, especially for those that have only just begun their journey into menstruation.
Not everyone has had the opportunity to collect all the tools they might need to create a safe, supportive environment that allows them to tap into and process the emotions that may arise each week. For a lot of us, a process of checking in with ourselves is not a natural behaviour, and that is where it all begins. Our good friend, Jane Hardwicke Collings has written a list of weekly questions to ask yourself during each phase of your cycle, we personally love them and hope they bring you a renewed sense of self care and love.
P.S - You don't need to have a menstrual cycle to ask yourself these questions!
Approach it like a check in with your inner self, making sure you are tending to your emotions and needs for the week.
It may just be a little transformative.
