Facing a big event but worried about PMDD symptoms hitting hard? 🌧️📅
Planning around your menstrual cycle might sound challenging, but it's absolutely doable and can make all the difference.
Here's what to do:
Ahead of Time: Map out your cycle in relation to the event date. If you predict PMDD will coincide with your big day, it's time to strategise. Start by scaling back your schedule in the week leading up to the event. This is crucial for conserving energy and managing stress levels.
Self-care Pre-Event: Ramp up your self-care practices. Whether it's yoga, meditation, or just quiet time alone, find what rejuvenates you and make it non-negotiable. Nutrition also plays a key role, so nourish your body with foods that support hormonal balance and mood stabilisation.
On the Day: Have a toolkit ready. This can include anything from essential oils for calming, a motivational note to yourself, or even a small reminder of why you're attending the event in the first place. Remember, preparation is power.
By integrating menstruality into your event planning you're setting yourself up to thrive, even in the face of PMDD. 💪🌸
