“Synching my work schedule with my cycle began initially with committing to fewer trips, clients, and deadlines when I was energetically at my lowest.

Now I realize these containers enable me to (surprisingly) accomplish more while spending more time in relaxation and refreshment. I also now have a habit of celebrating my creative and personal accomplishments which has increased my joy, satisfaction, and pride in my work in such a meaningful way. I no longer race past finish lines to the next project without experiencing gratitude.

I embrace silence and prepare to welcome fresh revelation. I invite you to downloading this resource guide to learn more and learn more about how you can benefit from these simple lighting techniques that honor our original interconnected design.
