Living Cyclically

#ThursdayThoughts

Did you know that just like the ebb and flow the moon and tides, there is an ebb and flow to OUR own bodies and systems?! Our bodies are made up of about 60% water so no wonder we are so in sync with the phases of the moon and our bodies cycle in the same way!
Have you ever had a day that you just had the motivation to take on something you’ve never done before like learning how to bottle a batch of tomatoes?? Or plant an entire garden? Update your blog or start a new one? Or Spring clean?! And this energy and hunger could go on for days or weeks! But then suddenly like you hit a brick wall, you can’t even muster the will to empty the dishwasher? And what do we do?? We let that little voice in that says “Ugh, you suck today! I’ll never get anything done. I’m soooo lazy wahhhh”.
Instead- I want you to realize that this ebb and flow or “season” happens! And is not just normal but is a gift to our mind, body and souls!

To expect yourself to wake up feeling exactly the same way tomorrow morning as you did today is a misunderstanding of how forces in your body operate. When you expect your body to feel fabulous day in and day out, you continuously feel betrayed when it falls short.
When you learn about and live this new way of thinking- this place of cyclicality, on a day you feel run down you might decide to take a nice leisurely walk instead of hitting the gym or tackle ONE room of the house that needs cleaning instead of being hard on your self for not “getting it ALL done!” ---simply because you *think* it’s what you *should* be doing.
In the lifestyle of respecting your cycle- had you gone to that boot camp class instead of respecting your body and mind and taking that nature walk- you would have most likely been left feeling tired and let down from not performing to the level of your *expectations*. AH HA!
Learning about a cyclical life you’ll develop a degree of sensitivity and will be able to adjust things lie food, exercise, sleep and pleasure the way it’s supposed to be according to your daily and monthly cycle.

Let’s let GO of the guilt and go with the FLOW!!

We will be talking about this at the #thehealerinyouretreat2018!
