Flow State: How Your Menstrual Cycle Can Supercharge Your Productivity (with a Little Help from the Moon)

You’ve tried planners. You’ve tried Pomodoros. You’ve tried waking up at 5 a.m. like some high-performing robot CEO. And yet, some weeks you’re unstoppable, other weeks you can barely string a sentence together. Sis, it’s not a mindset problem. It’s a cycle thing.

Your body has a rhythm. So does the moon. And when you understand how the two dance together, you unlock a level of sustainable productivity that isn’t about grinding harder—it’s about working in harmony with your own nature.

Welcome to the world of Lunar Living—where your menstrual cycle and the moon work together to help you get more done without burning out.

Phase 1: Menstrual (Inner Winter) 🌑 = New Moon Vibes

This is your lowest energy point. Your hormones have dipped, and your body is literally shedding and renewing. It’s not the time to push—it’s the time to pause.

In lunar terms, this mirrors the New Moon—a time for stillness, inward reflection, and planting seeds for what’s to come. Journaling, meditating, planning, and setting intentions are perfect here.

✨ Pro Tip: Schedule fewer meetings, and block out time for visioning your next steps. This is your energetic reset.

Phase 2: Follicular (Inner Spring) 🌒 = Waxing Moon Momentum

Now your estrogen is rising, and so is your energy. You’re starting to feel like yourself again. Creativity, curiosity, and action all come more naturally.

The Waxing Moon reflects this upward spiral. It’s a time to build momentum, take initiative, and experiment.

✨ Best tasks: Brainstorming, starting new projects, batch recording videos, and getting your ideas out into the world.

Phase 3: Ovulation (Inner Summer) 🌕 = Full  Moon Radiance

You’re magnetic. Clear-headed. Sociable. It’s your most extroverted, expressive, and productive phase—hello, Full Moon energy.

This is your time to be seen. Present. Pitch. Post. Lead.

✨ Schedule interviews, launch offers, host lives, record your best on-camera content, or close that deal.

Just don’t overbook yourself—it’s tempting to ride the wave, but remember the tide always turns.

Phase 4: Luteal (Inner Autumn) 🌖 = Waning Moon Wisdom

Estrogen dips. Progesterone rises. Your body is preparing to slow down, and you might feel more inward-focused or emotionally sensitive.

This reflects the Waning Moon, when it’s time to evaluate, refine, and release.

✨ Focus on editing, finishing tasks, reviewing analytics, cleaning up your digital space, and saying “no” to anything that doesn’t align.

Think of it as your pre-menstrual purge. Get cozy. Get real. Get ready to let go.

Why This Matters (And Why Nobody Taught You This in School)

The modern productivity model wasn’t designed for people with wombs. It’s linear. You? You’re cyclical. And that’s a superpower once you stop resisting it.

When you begin to track your menstrual cycle alongside the lunar phases, you’ll notice patterns. You’ll start scheduling smarter, honoring your energy, and actually building momentum without burning out.
