Confidence From Simplicity and Awareness of Self

By Gabriella Guglielminotti Trivel

Life is different for men and women.

As women we have so much to offer to the world as mothers, working professionals, friends, wives, innovators, the list goes on, but we should remember first and foremost that we have been living under the patriarchy rules for thousands of years.

What does that mean?

Well, many things indeed, and many of them might not be very obvious and straight forward at all.
For instance, we might not notice that in society and in the working environment women are considered as men; good, you might think, but actually it's not good!

Why?

Because men and women are different in so many aspects. Women operate physically, mentally and emotionally in a very different way which is neither better or worse, just different. Equality is problematic if it means not considering the differences that make women so unique and valuable.

Women have a different way of seeing life and operating and that includes their approach to business.

What Can Help a Woman in Her Business?

I would answer that question by saying that the first thing that a woman should be aware of in business is herself and her menstrual cycle, but why?

I have been into personal development for decades and for so many years I have studied and looked into different therapies, attended all sorts of workshops and seminars and spent so much of my money on courses trying to improve myself, but I could never nail down what was escaping me. Something was missing.

I discovered what it was in 2009 and since then I have been involved in sharing with women my feminine awareness about the menstrual cycle.

Our menstrual cycle controls our body, mind, emotions and our spirit too. Don't you think that this might have also a little influence on your business if you don't know how it works? Your business is run by you and, if you are in a low mood and your body is in a low energy state, your business will suffer.

So, what's the solution? Become aware of how you operate as a woman, it is as simple as that.

The Cycling Life of Women

This is a big subject and cannot be fully addressed in a short article, however, I would like to give you few simple tips that you can implement in your life and your business; you can then investigate the subject further and get in contact with me to find out more about it at a later stage, if you so desire.

As a woman, every month you go through phases that correspond to the stages of your cycle: the menstrual phase, pre-ovulatory phase, ovulatory phase and pre-menstrual phase. These four phases are similar energetically, mentally, psychologically and physically to the four seasons of the year and how you feel during them.

Winter corresponds to menstruation, Spring corresponds to the pre-ovulatory phase, Summer corresponds to ovulation and Autumn corresponds to the pre-menstrual phase.

Think of how your energy is in these seasons and then think about your menstrual cycle; can you see a similarity?

In winter you are withdrawn and less interested in the outer world.

In spring you tend to have more energy and feel optimistic.

In summer you are out and about, you can multi-task and are happy to be available.

In autumn you start counting your pennies and see what works and what doesn't.

You should keep this information at the forefront of your business if you want it to flourish. Planning according to your 'inner seasons' will help you a great deal. Your life will flow better and you will find yourself thinking: “Why did no-one teach me this in my twenties?” That is what I asked myself in 2009 when I decided to dedicate my life to share this simple message with women around the world.

Action Plan for Women

This is my suggested action plan for your future:

• Track your menstrual cycle and make notes of how you feel throughout the four seasons

• Monitor your activities in your private and business life and adjust them accordingly

• Review your notes at the end of every cycle and apply any insights to the way you operate

• Start again every cycle

Its time to find your inner confidence by going back to your very nature as a woman.
