Embracing Seasonal Energy This November
November is the perfect time to align with the energy of the Luteal Phase—both in your personal cycle and the seasonal rhythm of fall. Just as the Luteal Phase encourages reflection and preparation for the next cycle, autumn invites us to slow down, tie up loose ends, and prepare for winter’s rest.
What Is the Luteal Phase?
The Luteal Phase occurs after ovulation and before menstruation, lasting around 10-14 days. Hormonal changes during this phase can lead to a drop in energy, but they also enhance focus and detail-oriented thinking. It’s a time for organization, reflection, and intentionality.
How Does This Relate to Fall?
Autumn mirrors the Luteal Phase with its cooling temperatures, shorter days, and emphasis on preparation. Nature is winding down, and we’re called to do the same—wrapping up projects, reflecting on the year, and creating space for renewal.
Applying Luteal Energy to November
- Finish Outstanding Tasks: Use this time to check off lingering items on your to-do list. Your focus on details makes it easier to complete projects effectively.
- Declutter and Organize: Channel the nesting energy of the Luteal Phase into preparing your home or workspace for the slower pace of winter.
- Focus on Restorative Practices: Instead of taking on new challenges, prioritize restorative activities like yoga, meditation, or journaling.
