Hey there! Welcome back to Lola Thrives, the place where we’re all about embracing our feminine power and syncing with our cycles to build businesses that flow. Today, let’s chat about one of our favorite phases – the Follicular Phase – aka, the spring of your cycle. This is where your energy and creativity are off the charts, and it’s the perfect time to kick off exciting new projects. Let’s dive in!
What’s the Follicular Phase All About?
This phase kicks in right after your period and runs until ovulation. Think of it like a reset button for your mind, body, and business. Your hormones are rising, your mood is lifting, and you’re feeling on top of the world. It’s like that first warm day after winter where you just want to get out there and do all the things!
You’re full of energy, creative ideas are popping up, and your confidence is blooming. It’s the perfect time to make big moves.
Follicular Phase Power Moves:
- 1. Set Fresh Goals: You’re in prime idea mode. Think of this phase as your brainstorming bonanza—perfect for setting new goals and tackling those exciting projects you’ve been dreaming of.
- 2. Plan, Plan, Plan: You’ve got the energy and focus—so use it! Map out your plans, organize your tasks, and set up systems. You’ll thank yourself later when things flow effortlessly.
- Network Like a Pro: Feeling extra social? Go with it! This is your time to connect, collaborate, and say yes to those meetings and networking events. You’re a magnet for new opportunities right now.
Productivity Magic
Take advantage of your creative surge and heightened focus during the follicular phase to tackle those big, bold tasks. Whether it’s launching a new product, designing a strategy, or just getting stuff done—this is your time. You’ll be amazed at how naturally the ideas flow and how effortlessly you can bring them to life.
Sample Follicular Phase Flow
Here’s a little roadmap for making the most of this vibrant phase:
- Morning: Start with a feel-good workout (yoga, walking, or dancing), then dive straight into brainstorming and planning your next big steps.
- Mid-Morning: Time to put those ideas into action—create content, outline new projects, or map out strategies.
- Afternoon: Connect with your community! Meet with your team, collaborate on projects, or attend networking events.
- Evening: Reflect on the magic you created today, plan your next steps, and wind down with something fun that fuels your creativity—whether it’s a hobby or just daydreaming.
By syncing with your follicular phase, you’ll be able to tap into a level of creativity and productivity that feels totally natural and aligned. Flow over force, always.
