Hi, hii! Today’s post isn’t random because I started my period yesterday and I also got sick so my energy is really drained and I want to share a few tips to maybe help some of you! ( this is the 2nd time I’m writing this so I’m a bit annoyed )
— HYDRATION : you gotta drink A LOT of water during your period. Hydration is already so important as it is but during your period it’s 10x more important
— TEA : first of all shoutout to all my tea girlies. Then, I love drinking tea ( without caffeine!) because it not only makes my cramps better because of the warmth and since i often drink peppermint and ginger ( which is really good during your period ) but i also just convince myself that tea will make me feel better so it does. ( it’a all about the mindset )
— POSITIVITY : I always try to see the good in things which also includes my period. As i told SOME PEOPLE I imagine it as the blood of my enemies.. not i’m kidding. I just tell myself that I can grow a whole human and that it’s gonna be over soon. This isn’t temporary so I shouldn’t complain because I can’t change anything about it by complaining ( I tell myself that with a lot of things. Complaining never helps )
— EATING : I try to get as many vitamins in as possible with veggies, fruits and nuts but fish and chicken is also very good for you!
— VITAMINS/SUPPLEMENTS : i only eat chicken as meat so i’m deficient in a lot of vitamins so i have to take a lot of the most important one during your period is magnesium. Even if you eat a lot of food containing magnesium ( mostly nuts ) you should consider taking some magnesium supplements
— REST : this is the key to not passing out in this week of suffering. Sleep a lot and limit your physical activity ( I’m sorry to my athletes out there. ), instead of going to the gym and doing heavy workouts stay in bed and read a nice book or do chores around the house ( also has you moving )
— MOVE : very contradictory but yoga and a bit of walking can never do harm, i love walking during my period because it makes me feel like I did something but it also doesn’t leave me completely drained from all energy.
— WARMTH : tea, warm baths, heating pads and pets ( my cats keep me warm <3 )
— DISTRACTION : this may differ from person to person but I need a lot of distraction especially when I’m just laying around in bed so I usually read a very captivating book to focus 100% and forget about the pain.
— PEOPLE : I stay in my dark room and when I’m in school talk less because I’m worried that I’ll snap at people but I usually tell my friends that I’m on my period or they figure so there isn’t any misunderstandings
— REMINDERS : you can’t do anything about the fact that you get periods, they’re normal and you shouldn’t feel ashamed about them. People who make you feel that way about them are childish. You weight may vary so don’t panic! ( i don’t weight myself during my period because it’s not my real weight so it’s of no use! ). Your energy is already low so try to stay calm and not waste it on unnecessary things or people. Drama can wait for when you’re ovulating.
Unfollow people who do not make you feel empowered, informed or inspired.
2.Start writing.
Sometimes you just need to get out what's on your mind.
Try setting a timer for 30 minutes and doing a brain dump of all the things you want to complain about or challenges you are struggling with to let it all go and detox your mind from those nagging worries.
3.Ask yourself:
→Are there any dead relationships in my life that I am holding on to?
→What aspects of my life can I improve by removing things that isn't working anymore?
4.Practice Meditation.
During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate rampant thoughts crowding your mind and causing stress.
This process may result in enhanced emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual well-being.
5.Remember the big picture.
Write down a list of your long-term goals.
Call it your vision for your life. Reference it often. Keep it in your mind as you're cycling through your day-to-day tasks.
It's easy to get caught up in the minutiae of living when your gorget your why.
6.Acceptance is peace.
No amount of anxiety will change your future, no amount of regret will change your past.
Peace is found in acceptance:
• Accept imperfection.
• Accept uncertainty.
• Accept the uncontrollable.
You don't have to understand, tolerate or even forget something, but if you want peace, you must accept it.
