Stressed women have more PMS. Periooddd.
For me, I know that the months where I’m stressed & I’m burning the candle at both ends - I know that when my period is on it’s way, PMS may come too 😖
Now, I’m not going to sit here and tell you to just, “reduce your stress”..
Cause I know first hand, with being a human and all, stress can be unavoidable.
So, I will share what works for me - someone who suffered from years of daily anxiety and stress that really impacted my joy, productivity & relationships..
🔥 I focus on resiliency building.
This means I create daily practices to make my body more adaptable & resilient to stress - so when any unforseen stress arrises in the future, I have the tools to support me, AND my body is in a better position to bounce back faster.
There are TWO ways in which I do this..
>> I have daily non-negotiable self-care practices wedged throughout my day:
🧘♀️ Morning meditation, breathwork & shaking
💪 Some form of movement: A morning surf, yoga or HITT class.
😴 I don’t do high intensity exercise when I’m tired
👩❤️👨 I opening communicate to my partner & team where I am in my cycle and how I’m feeling
☀️ 20 minute nature & sunshine break
☕️ No coffee after 12pm
🛌 I go to sleep at 9:30pm (no screens in bedroom)
>> I consume adaptogenic herbs daily
If you ask me, every person should be consuming adaptogenic herbs to help the body’s response to stress, fatigue & anxiety and bring the body back to homeostasis (balance) by managing both physical and mental stressors.
My FAVOURITE adaptogenic herbs for stress resiliency building are:
>> Cordyceps, Eucommia bark, Goji Berry, asparagus root - all of which you’ll find in Luna’s Matcha
These adaptogenic herbs are used to cultivate energy in the adrenals, and support healthy hormone function, mood & energy.
⚡️ You need to take them consistently, so they build in your system!
I personally consume these Luna's Blends daily, especially as great coffee alternatives when I know my nervous system doesn’t need any more stimulation!
