Did you know your cycle can influence how creative you feel? Many women report that their imagination and problem-solving skills rise and fall with their hormonal rhythm.
🎨 Creativity and the cycle:
- Follicular phase (after your period): Energy rises, making it a great time to start new projects.
- Ovulation phase: Confidence peaks — many women feel most expressive here.
- Luteal phase (before period): Focus shifts inward. While energy dips, it’s often a time for deep, reflective creativity like writing or journaling.
- Menstrual phase: Rest and reflection often bring unexpected clarity and inspiration.
🌿 How to harness creativity:
- Notice when ideas flow most easily and align your projects to those days.
- Keep a notebook handy during low-energy times — your insights may surprise you.
- Use creative outlets (drawing, cooking, journaling) as emotional support during PMS.
Your cycle is not just about managing discomfort — it can also be a rhythm that enhances creativity. By embracing it, you align your mind and body in a powerful way.
