Listen to What Your Menstrual Cycle is Saying

In this episode, Berrion explains what your menstrual cycle serves to remind you of. It is a window into your overall health. When you know the signs to look for, it shows you problems that might be missed otherwise.

With this in mind, understand that your period is a time to slow down. It is empowering when you understand what your cycle is communicating. In addition to telling you if something is wrong, being in tune with your cycle is also a way to enhance life.

Syncing Your Life to Your Cycle

Berrion talks about how to use your cycle as a blueprint to align your workflow with your energy flow. When menstruating, your energy levels are usually at their lowest. This is the time to get clear on your visions and goals.

After menstruation but before ovulation you’ll likely have more energy. This is when you should create and make strategic plans. During ovulation, energy will surge making it the time to communicate and put plans into action. Finally, consider PMS to be a time to evaluate and analyze. Berrion has found that utilizing your cycle this way as an entrepreneur leads to higher performance and satisfaction.
