It has been a few hours since I filmed this episode, you do not necessarily need to listen/watch as I will highlight below :) you can also listen to the audio here on Spotify.
I spoke about my early start at 4:45am. There is nothing quite like waking up under a blanket of stars and remembering we are all floating on a rock in space.
I needed that pre dawn cosmic reminder.
It shifted my mind into gear.
Some type of sacred humility and humour. That truly grounded my being and mentally prepared me for the first day of business.
It also acted as a gentle reminder to come back to healthy habits and routines
Now in hindsight- It is quite phenomenal what an early morning beach walk and swim can do for your wellbeing.
I will definitely be inviting this habit back into my daily agenda.
I reflected during this episode on my first day as a business at the local markets. Well, more so the environment and people, the warm welcome and inspiration.
I also spoke about the absence of my cylical feelings.
I would say this little spiel is for the gals, but just as I thought to write that, I went…No.
Men need to be more educated and update with how a Women’s body operates.
Especially if you have daughters or are thinking to navigate a relationship… So, if anything, this is also for the guys!
Less than 30 minutes after my morning walk and swim, it was as if the flip had been switched.
Nervous system, rebooted.
A little lesson and reminder to stay aware of your cortisol levels. So many people are operating in stress, it can be challenging to register what is stress and what is homeostasis.
And the longer you are in stress, the harder it is to differentiate and find your way out.
Depending on your lifestyle, homestasis can first approach in all sorts of ways-like bliss or like boredom. Executive dysfunction or motivation.
It comes back to knowing yourself, at core.
I was only in a one week hostage, in this instance, which I mindfully chose to sacrifice due to deadlines and a slight push to build that resilience, but I have been trapped in a cortisol flooded environment for years. It is not pretty.
After my walk this morning I feel, for the most part, back in tune and in harmony with my cycle. As if my ears perked back up.
I walked into the camp kitchen and noticed my social skills and energetic exchange to be back on track. A little more extraverted than usual.
My sex drive even came back to say hello. Like I mentioned in the video (although I am celibate) it has been playing a game of hide and seek this past ovulation phase… This is the most fertile and creative phase of our moon cycle.
Us women are cyclical creative forces, so when this drive comes back so does an influx of you guessed it… Creativity 😂 but also inspiration, hope, motivation… And if you came here for that 3 letter word in my blog title…Yes, sex!
If you are a women or you are a man noticing their partner’s lack of drive, ask yourself… Is she honouring her cycle? Am I honouring her cycle? How can I assist her in obtaining a mental reboot? How can I assist her in reaching homeostasis? (Just going to add sex can and should be used as a tool to de stress, blow some steam, feel energised and ‘come’ back to yourself… See what I did there 😂)
But in general, more stress, less sex. Less stress, more sex. It is a pretty simple equation.
Us humans manage a lot, so do not just do something nice and expect some sort of miracle. Do something that relieves cortisol and brings her, him or you back to homeostasis and remember the longer you are operating in a cortisol environment, the longer it may take to potentially find your way out.
Have some patience.
It most likely will not be solved with just one massage and a chamomile tea.
These things need to managed and changed through devotion and the action of building new habits.
May the world come back to cosmic and cylical harmony, may our nervous systems be decompressed, less stressed, more sexed and fully blessed!
From my heart to yours.
