Reminder 3 - You have the power to choose

The choice is yours. 

You can listen to advice. Ask questions. Talk to your friends, your family or someone you trust.

Other people can help you see things differently.

But you make the final choice.

And you can change your mind.

What felt right before might not feel right anymore. You can change direction, try something different or start again.

Changing your mind is part of choosing.

That applies to the big things in life and the everyday things too.

Including your body and your period.

Maybe what works for your friend doesn't work for you.

Maybe you've always used one period product and decide you want to try another.

Maybe one month you want to carry on as normal, and another month your body is telling you to slow down.

There isn't one right way to experience your period because it's your body.

You get to learn what works for you.

And sometimes things won't go the way you expected.

That's how we learn.

You find out what worked, what didn't and what you might do differently next time.

You chose. You tried. You learned.

The power of choice is yours.

In your day

Sometimes you make a choice and know straight away:

Yes, this feels right.

Other times, you're not sure.

You might start something and love it.

You might start something and realise it's not for you.

You might say yes and later change your mind.

You might take one direction, learn something along the way and decide to take another.

And your choices don't have to look the same every day either.

Maybe yesterday you wanted to go out, but today your period starts and you'd rather stay home.

Maybe you're bleeding heavily but still want to go to the gym, meet your friends or wear the outfit you planned.

Maybe you usually push through everything, but today you decide to rest.

Your period doesn't get to make the choice for you.

You do.

Listen to your body. Listen to yourself. Then decide what feels right for you that day.

That's what having a choice looks like in real life.

You don't have to know exactly where every choice will take you.

You choose. You experience it. You learn.

And then you choose again. 💗

Your moment

Think of one choice that's yours to make today.

Big or small.

Before you decide, give yourself a moment.

Ask yourself:

What do I really want?

What feels right for me?

Why am I choosing this?

What could happen if I say yes?

What could happen if I say no?

Will this choice still feel right tomorrow?

You don't need to have every answer.

Sometimes just asking the questions helps you see things more clearly.

Then make your choice.

And remember whatever happens, you can learn, change your mind and choose again.
