This 28 day challenge was born from a place of welcoming back the whole month of a woman's cycle. Often, it's just the time of menstruation that we give any consideration to our cycle. Our complete cycle is the inner compass to our bodies needs, and a guide to living a more balanced, meaningful connected life.
Day 18 - Summer {Ovulatory phase}
Moon 16.2% - in Libra
Luteal Stage
Progesterone rises
Expressive phase
The egg release period last for roughly 12-24 hours. After ovulation progesterone is on the rise which may causes you to feel a bit more sluggish, and a little more guarded. I can sense the change in my body, although I still feel upbeat I am aware of the shift.
Constipation, crampiness, or nausea is not uncommon with ovulation and just after, yesterday I was craving all the foods I shouldn't be eating. High fibre foods are important at this phase. I've snacked a lot today...I'm aware I've not had enough water, as I have a slight headache.
Boosting my energy in preparation for lower energy levels {Autumn} is important.
