Man am I the greatest

In regards to menstrual cycles...

Women often get "extra emotional" or "sensitive" in the days leading up to, during and after menstruation. Hormonal imbalances are a thing, but a great friend of mine referred to our periods as something a little eye opening: It is a period of amplification. 💗👁💥

Our feelings are amplified as if under a magnifying glass, in order for us to see them more clearly. Now the thing to bear in mind is ✨️not every emotion requires action✨️. Some just need to be felt and released.

What often happens is we feel these amplified emotions and express them to just anyone, or everyone. As if the emotions take the reins. When really, sometimes WE are the only ones who need to acknowledge any expression within. Journaling or turning to a close and trusted friend who doesn't judge and doesn't feeeed negativity can be very helpful (I have found this to be the case for me at least).

Since hearing that (period of amplification), I try to *listen* to the emotions surfacing, sit with them and then assess whether I need to address something with someone else, or take a certain action, etc. I took that as a big learning tool! I even started applying that to my big emotions on a regular basis, not just during times of menstruation.
