Okay, okay, you all twisted my rubber arm - #menstrualmondays will be continuing for as long as I have menstruation magic and knowledge to share (and believe me, I have a lot of it) ⚡️✨🌸

I got a request to chat about what activities I, MYSELF engage in when menses approaches (thanks @among_the_wildflowerss ) So, put on your period party hats and keep reading. .
.
.
Honestly, some cycles it’s a little more minimalistic than others, but for me, the simpler the better. At the heart of my own period self care, I give myself space and permission to say NO. I take a day during the first few days of flow (or just an afternoon if things are crazy) to do absolutely nothing - I clear my schedule, ignore my to-do list, and do whatever it is I need to, to SLOW DOWN. .
.
.
Recently, I’ve been enjoying epsom salt baths and reading the afternoon away (currently reading Blackwave by Michelle Tea and it is GREAT) - epsom salt is an amazing source of #magnesium, which can help relax crampy uterine muscles and any muscle tension we might be holding. .
.
.
This morphs month to month. Sometimes I avoid social media and email for the day. Sometimes I do a little tarot spread for the month ahead. Sometimes I Netflix. There’s no right or wrong way to do things. .
.
.
If you’re super pumped about periods, and have been enjoying the discussion around menstrual self care, I have some book recommendations for you; Wild Power, The Wild Genie, Red Moon, The Optimized Woman, and Moon Time have all made comfy homes on my bookshelf! Any recommendations for me? .
