my pms/period self care routine | what I do when I'm feeling low & anxious to reset and recharge ✨

[@gickyvergo4597]

Honestly on my period I can’t do anything, but I’ve realised it’s important to do things and not just pause ur life. This really helps thank u!

[@staciii]

It's also ok to not do anything and take a break

[@gickyvergo4597]

@@staciii ofc yeah

[@inspiroue]

yes to both! listen to your body and if you need a break, claim that for yourself guilt-free! but also important to do the things you don't have the energy to do that you know will make you feel better once you do them too x

[@sarahfellows3074]

I feel this way rn, thanks X

[@leahgriffiths1694]

Also, if it's too painful to do anything for 5 days, please see a DR. Periods suck, but they shouldn't be that bad.

[@fibromiteready2fight809]

Yes! People with periods definitely need to take it easier, and try to be more in tune with our bodies during the time of the month. The government should also be more considerate in terms of the price of period products and scheduling. We literally cannot control it.

[@ZoeysMusings]

Comfortable clothing, being warm and cozy, binging my fave K-dramas and taking it easy make my period so much more bearable. Thank you for this amazing content, Cynthia!

[@inspiroue]

Couldn't agree more! Hometown cha cha cha is giving me alll the warm fuzzies right now! Thank YOU for always being so supportive 🥺

[@elle_dee-lovell]

Honestly women like you are like our actual friends, I instantly look for a relatable video and it’s better than medicine for my mental health. Thank you angel ❤️

[@realshantia]

I never know how I'm going to feel during my period. Sometimes I feel so drained and brain so foggy, other times I'm ok. I just roll with whatever now and remind myself to not feel guilty when I feel like doing absolutely nothing during that time.

[@yupperz6494]

I went to a period cup and period panties and never looked back! I have saved soooooo much money and helped reduce waste. It's amazing how many options there are now.

[@cutiez4eva1]

Second this! Changed my life 🙌

[@SummerSun-sg3wf]

I love the throw away period underwear. They're very expensive, though. They are $14. I can't do tampons. I really don't agree with climate cult stuff.

[@lilmamagc]

the voice inside my head got JEALOUS this month. LIke I was really jealous when my crush was talking to other girls. Like...calm down inner voice. calm down.

[@dinsun1111]

The sage green robe is a dream 🧚‍♀️ you look beautiful

[@moon.rivers]

this is a really lovely video, thank u for sharing ur routine! also i love the pops of green + brown in the earthy gray tones 🤍

[@maiahN]

Oh my gosh this could not have come at a better time! Just started my period today. The first day always knocks me out and I always feel down on myself for being so sluggish. I’m really working on feeling more comfortable around taking about menstruation and listening to what my body needs. Haven’t even watched yet but thank you so so much for sharing. You have no idea how your willingness to share impacts others. Keep doing you boo. ❤️🤗🌼

[@inspiroue]

aw I needed to hear this so thank you - always grateful for comments like these 🥺💛

[@faithbradley4224]

My mental health self-care routine looks like this: *spend time with my bunny rabbit - when I see her do her binkies (happy jump) or hear her chattering her teeth, or see her relaxing, it makes me smile because it reminds me that I'm doing a good job in looking after her. When I feel like crap and see her do her thing, it makes me realise that life ain't so bad and tomorrow is a brighter day. Really, really hot baths or showers - I like my baths or showers to be really hot (which I know isn't great for your skin), but I love the feeling of the steam and the smell of the steam. I love breathing it in, it makes me feel relaxed. Exercise - my favourite exercises are walking and cycling. They bring me joy. I also like doing worship walks. I am a Christian and i love spending time with God while walking. Shopping - whether for myself or Ziva, my bunny rabbit, I thoroughly enjoy shopping because it makes me feel excited about the small things. Remember, these are achievable FOR ME. DON'T feel like you have to do the things that I do. I don't want you guys to feel like that, I am just presenting what I do as an idea. Lots of love and God bless you all 💖

[@bookworm05234]

Binkies are the best! My bun passed away a year ago due to old age (he was 12!) and man, his little binkies when he was younger and not arthritic, were so cute. So now I just watch other bunnies binky around on Instagram

[@siobhanlewis4511]

I just got off a serious roughhhhhh period and I wish I had this when I was on!! Seriously, this was beaut ☁️🌱 see u next month ;)

[@inspiroue]

oh nooo - glad you got through it and thank you!! 💛

[@ivoareis8998]

Your video really helps thanks a lot ! I’ve been having really hard PMS periods for quite some time now but these last few months it’s really intense so I needed to find some guidance and bumped into your video ! Really reassuring thank you 🙏🏾🥹

[@lynnk7551]

Sending lots of love and good energy. 💕

[@KathleenLouisseQAchas]

Had pms this holidays and even ate two slices of chocolate cake for three meals for a day. This video made me feel validated/feel better to not be guily about it too:))

[@inspiroue]

Aw yay I'm glad! Oh I've had days where I eat cake all my meals too dont you worry x

[@Mynameis_jonique]

Absolutely love this Cynthia! Love your biker short sets - so cute! Tater tots and yoga are definitely my comfort that helps me through though weeks 💕

[@inspiroue]

Yay so happy you do!! I recently rediscovered tater tots and smileys and the nostalgia is unreal!! x

[@michaelaberger6403]

Thank you for the lovely video, this really helped me feel less guilt for resting today ❤

[@WriterPal]

Essential oils and aromatherapy are my favorite go-to's. I also love baths. My mental and emotional health is very much affected, and it's the mood swings that like to stick around longer. one of my Christian counselors has actually told me that the word premenstrual itself gives a lot of information to her.

[@reginamcadory674]

I have struggled with PMDD and hormonal headaches around the time of my cycle. I remind myself that I will be back to my normal self in a few days, I rest accordingly. I’m about to add magnesium to help with my moods and muscle aches.

[@carold8950]

Love this video, thank you! Raspberry leaf tea, magnesium and b complex supplements have really helped me too! ❤️

[@nurinizzdhinie2407]

I hope more people will find you because your video is very good!

[@inspiroue]

aw this means so much, appreciate you 🥺

[@Bia-lm8it]

[@shiblaqbri]

Omg coffee ice cream is the best! There’s a local place called Graeters here in Cincinnati, OH I always get Vienna coffee (even tho I’m lactose lol) on my period. 😂 I’ve been looking for sustainable options for my period too I’ll have to give this a try

[@taylorthechemist]

[@shiblaqbri]

[@damoniquesonnier2993]

Ima be honest… the first thought in my mind when I saw this video topic was “GET OFF THE WHITE COUCH” 😂

[@sdl444]

Thank you! You too! 🍹

[@joywong1062]

hey cynthia, thanks for this vulnerable and inspirational video! ❤️ wanted to ask if you know anything about menstrual cups! they're reported to be safer & more environmentally sustainable than pads and tampons because a single cup is reusable for years and has a much lower risk of TSS than tampons. would love to hear your thoughts on this! really love your content x

[@inspiroue]

aw thank you! I think menstrual cups are a great option if they work for you! I personally haven't had the best experience but I hope to try again in the future x

[@growwithjackk]

omg tatter tots!! my period is almosr here & i have never craved hashbrowns until today so maybe it’s a sign to get it tomorrow morning 😂
