Most women have pms or hormone imbalances and don’t even know it. It’s subtle shifts in mood you can’t put your finger on. It’s the sudden urge to go hide, explode or cry. But women are so busy taking care of others or simply trying to survive that they forget they even matter.

What I am about to share firstly are all pmdd (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) symptoms. If you have even half of these symptoms you may have some form of this yourself.

Please note this list has points that relate specifically to spiritual women.

• Brain fog (forgetfulness, memory blanks)
• Mood swings (anger, tears, unworthiness, and even dark humour)
• Increased clumsiness
• Increased hunger
• Easily triggered or overwhelmed by information
• Bloating
• Fatigue or low energy levels and harder time exercising
• Inability to be properly energetically shielded from other people’s emotions and experiences (you take it all on)
• Lack of motivation to practice self care
• Food cravings
• Difficulty being connected to Spirit when intending for it (However if you aren’t trying to, it will happen!)
• Impatience, irritability or easily hurt by others when in the heat of the moment

My own experience

Taking a step back when I’m feeling intense emotions is difficult because I am in the deep fog. I can get so sucked in that I don’t realize I am going through a mood swing.

One moment I will be able to have a normal conversation, the next I have to take a step back before I say something I don’t mean.

I will have a deep desire to work on my business, but my brain fog will incapacitate me and I will have to rest even if my Ego is fighting rest and grieving her loss of feeling superhuman.

And other times, if I push past the fog, I can manage to create some of my best work.

It’s a delicate dance. But I’ve let go of the idea of trying to be perfect.

Like it or not, I will make mistakes. I will lack judgement. I will say the wrong thing.

The blessings in disguise

Self love: Having pmdd is the ultimate lesson in self love.

You are consciously doing and thinking horrible things, simultaneously forgiving yourself for them.

It’s giving yourself a free pass to go against what the law of attraction experts tell you.

Trust: It’s the ultimate act of trust in Creator/Sophia/Goddess.

The knowingness that you are forgiven no matter what mess you feel you’ve gotten yourself into. That none of it really matters. That you are perfect. In all your glorious imperfection.

The realizations: You may realize that there’s something in your life that’s not working, or that you are not well surrounded, or unsupported. Take a note and re-evaluate once you feel level headed if it’s a big decision for you. I will receive my biggest shifts when I am going through PMDD.

Bravery: You still inspire others even if you think you are insignificant and that nobody is looking your way.

If you feel you may have a hormonal imbalance, practicing this self love is your first step.

But I encourage you to also take a look at your lifestyle, your boundaries, your eating and nutrient habits as well as your exercise routine. All of these things will play into it, but I can say for myself, the things I do and who/what I surround myself with during the month will dictate how my pmdd cycle goes.

Love yourself fiercely. And reach out if you need a hand. I have many offers related to the subject but we can see what options are best for you. 💜
