how unrushing my mind brought my period back

listen to your body, it's smarter than you. 

I haven't had a period in over 5 years. 

To give you a little perspective without diving too deep into specifics - here's a short timeline to show you what happened...

2002 ▶ Started taking the birth control pill
2016  ▶ Stopped taking pill to try to get pregnant 
2017  ▶ Fertility Treatments - injections
2018  ▶ Birth of Lucille
2019  ▶ Breastfeeding
2020  ▶ Breastfeeding
2021 ▶Still breastfeeding & then Hallelujah my "Red Friend" came back! 

To sum it up the best I can...I was too busy DOING, that it distracted me from LISTENING. 

What helped me UNRUSH my life so that I could actually LISTEN? 

My unrushing resources

+  Loving my WHOLE self, no matter what 
+  Acupuncture:  It's basically THERAPY I go to once a month
+  Our podcast Simplified Khaos:  Weekly CONVERSATIONS with my husband about our life + direction
+  My Ink + Volt Planner:  Setting intention and taking tiny ACTION steps to align my life with what I VALUE 
+  Reading self-care BOOKS: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle has been life changing
+  Podcasts: Listening to inspiring STORIES of people living out their dreams 
+  Leaving SPACE to listen to my own creative + original thoughts 
+  Practicing GRATITUDE daily: Write 3 things I'm grateful for every day
+  Yoga at least 3 times a week before bed 
+  Surrounding myself with a COMMUNITY that uplevels me: My friends + family, Instagram connections, Simplify My Meals
+  Getting out of my COMFORT ZONE to try new things 
+  Appreciating the PRESENT instead of always concerning myself with what's next 

I had to experiment until I got comfortable with being still and silent. 

So if you're in need of inspiration, motivation, guidance or support on your journey to feel happier, more aligned and connected with yourself.
