Severe period pain and PMDD can feel overwhelming - especially when your body is asking for something different to what the world expects of you
�Here’s a gentle practice you can try when things feel intense:
1️⃣ Ground into your body�Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly (or lower belly).�Take a few slow, deep breaths and allow yourself to drop down into your body.
2️⃣ Slow the pace�There’s no rush. If there are cramps, discomfort, or emotion, let them be there.�It’s safe to move slowly.
3️⃣ Connect & reassure�Let your body know: “I’m here. You’re safe. It’s okay to rest.”�Acknowledge what’s happening without pushing it away.
This may take a few tries, for some it helps straight away, for others it’s a practice that deepens over time.
What matters is being genuine, intentional, and not forcing yourself through.
If you need to cancel plans, slow your day down, or take time off - that’s listening, not failing.
If you try this, I’d love to hear how you got on.�And please share this with anyone who might need a little extra support right now 🌿💕✨
