Your 9-Day Radical Restorative
Does Rest = Restoration = Health = Wealth?
Take The Period Empress' 9-Day Challenge to find out!
Carving time out of your schedule for rest through gentleness…even if you think you have no time!
Having your period can be difficult, but often our own self-care habits and lifestyle choices just seem to make it worse.
Having your period can be one of the most exasperating and difficult experiences, but often our own self-care habits and lifestyle choices just seem to make it worse. For many of us, it can feel like a never-ending cycle of period misery that we can’t seem to break out of.
Our fear of investing in rest, especially when it comes to our periods, can stop us in our tracks. We are overwhelmed with life obligations that take precedence over our own health and wellness and we often feel guilty for taking the time and energy to take a break or rest in order to alleviate our period related symptoms.
We also think of self-care as being selfish, and as a result, it can be difficult to prioritize ourselves and make space for rest. On top of that, if you’re like most of us, you probably don’t know much about how to effectively end period misery.
You might find yourself stuck in a cycle of period pain, fatigue, and bloating without any idea of how to find relief. You may also be terrified of letting go of habits that trigger your period pain or exacerbate your symptoms. If this sounds all too familiar, you are not alone.
"For optimum health and function, the average adult should get seven to nine hours of sleep every night. But more than 60% of women regularly fall short of that goal. This may be due to insomnia or another underlying condition that may require medical attention"--Harvard University.
- Christine-Marie Quigless, a menstrual health expert, walks us through gentle actions to create more time for rest in our lives.
- Many of us who suffer from Period Problems are used to having to work very hard (when we are well enough to work) because of our fear of a flare up of pain/discomfort/migraines or a surprise irregular cycle.
- This Challenge helps us address and start the shift away from the period problems we face.
- Rest. Pure Rest, slows and eventually stops the momentum of the habits that can trigger period pain.
- By embracing Rest through gentleness we see the way we sacrifice ourselves and our time out of guilt and shame.
- We will stop letting others down when we stop letting ourselves continue to compromise what we need the most, rest. When we do this, we set open our body up to Healing our Period Problems.
