Hello beautiful beings! Today I'm explaining my #1 tool to help you clearly communicate your needs, wants and desires around your menstrual cycle. Our menstrual cycles mean our moods, hormones and emotions ebb and flow and when we learn to live in sync with those changes we can truly THRIVE. But sometimes it's hard to communicate our feelings to those in our lives (especially if they don't menstruate) so this tool is here to HELP!It involves arts & crafts so get ready to get creative.You'll need:- dry erase board/chalk board/plain paper- pencil/pen/marker- magnets/stickersStep 1: Draw a circle & separate it into four equal parts. Label those parts M (menstruation) F (follicular) O (ovulation) L (luteal)Step 2: Each day make a mark, place a sticker or put the magnet in whatever phase you're in. Example: started your period? Put the magnet in the M quadrant.Step 3: Create a needs/wants/desires list. This can look like moods, what you need as far as support, or even your desires in the bedroom. My list is: Mood (happy, anxious, energetic, sad, mad, teary, lazy)Needs (cuddles, kisses, talking, adventure, you to leave the house)Sex (quickie, sensual, fun, rough, no penetration & no sex please)The key here is to fine-tune this tool for YOUR life.
