Your menstrual cycle is a natural rhythm that your body follows every month, and understanding it can help you feel more in control and connected to yourself.
The cycle has four main phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. During the menstrual phase, your body rests and sheds the uterine lining — this is your period. The follicular phase is when your body begins to regain energy and prepare for ovulation.
Ovulation is the phase where energy and confidence often peak. After that comes the luteal phase, where your body slows down again and prepares for the next cycle. This is when you may feel more sensitive or tired.
By understanding these phases, you can align your routine, energy, and self-care practices with your body’s needs — creating a more balanced and supportive lifestyle.
