You should always try to take some time-out to look after both your physical and emotional health, especially when you’re on your period. Your body is working really hard during your period, so listening to what your body and emotions are telling you is super important.
We get it though, when you’re on the emotional rollercoaster that is your period, it can be hard to know what you want to do! So, to make it easier for you, we’ve put together some of our favourite ways we like to show ourselves a bit of care, so that you can try them out for yourself!
So go on, what are you waiting for, grab your comfy joggers, put on your favourite playlist and dance like no one’s watching! It’s time to stop being hard on yourself and focus on the positives, we’re in this together, and we know you’ve got this!
