This is where we are feeling more of like our peak energy. So more attraction, more achievement, these are the times where we can do more celebrating and connecting. This is a time of more sexuality. So like this, this is a time where you're fertile. So if you don't want more children, watch out, this is a time to be prepared. And in this time, the obstacles that we can come into are overwhelmed. So like because we're we are at the like, most energy level is sometimes we push ourselves too far. And then we get overwhelmed because all the things are going on. And we also can be a little bit feistier, as I mentioned. And we can also be like a little bit more like, just like, again, that too much NIS like really goes into this season of like, I can do this. And we can do this. And so this is a time where we are most sociable. So this is a time where like, I plan an interview. So like all the interviews that I planned for the podcast, I batch around in the same week. So I'll record like four different interviews and then spread them out over the next couple of months. This is a time where I'm recording them podcast episodes, because I want to connect with people like I want to talk I want to spend time meeting with friends scheduling those playdates. So whereas in the spring, you were planning those playdates you're playing them for the next week in summer, when you actually want to talk to people, this is a good time to like, go for date night, this is a good time to lean into all that energy, those projects that you've been wanting to do that you actually have the energy to get them done. Now, I will also say that there is one day and I'm assuming it's the day on that little chart where like, all of the estrogen plummets, is there one day around this time where I'm like, I hate everything. Every decision I've ever made has been terrible. I rethink my entire life. I want to re strategize my entire business to be in a different manner. Because surely that took all those decisions were not good. And like, literally, self doubt just comes in and like, whacks me, now that I've seen this pattern. Like, it doesn't faze me as much now, like, oh, right, it's that day, where I think everything, every decision I've ever made is terrible. And I'm just gonna, I'm not gonna worry about it. And I, I'm just gonna, like, let it roll through. Whereas before when I didn't recognize this pattern, that like literally once a month in the middle of my cycle, I would be like, I can't believe that I even decided to start a business this is a terrible idea. I would get really overwhelmed and start rethinking everything and thinking, okay, you know what? My current plan total garbage, what if I did this,
2. what if I did that there was a lot of like mental energy going into decisions that did not need to be considered because this is just a pattern that I have. And I accept it like this one day, I'm not going to like any decision I've ever made. I'm going to write it out because tomorrow will be fine. And I'll be back to my usual self. So the other part of understanding these patterns is gives me a lot of grace to know like when do I need to take this seriously. Like in fall I need to seriously take my rest mean take me seriously and take care of myself. I need to take this with a grain of salt and be like Whatever dude, like just accept and move on. Giving myself that kind of grace has been a huge huge gift to myself and not making myself out to be an idiot. That one day the week and only the month every single month. So again, we're gonna do one minute jot down what are the kinds of things that you feel would be the ones that you would want to do in this peak energy connecting sort of a time and also the things that you would not want to do something any woman? Patricia Sung 04:32 All right, so as you're wrapping up those thoughts, we're gonna jump over to the winter
