My Rhythm

Your energy, mood and needs change over the month — that’s not something to fight, it’s a rhythm worth getting to know.

This small workbook holds 40 short, gentle practices for women who want to hear themselves better: keep a simple cycle journal, rest without guilt, make the most of high-energy days and move gently through the days when you have less. Most take from one to twenty minutes. Open it at any page.

Inside:

• Getting to know your cycle — day one, the circle of the month, three marks a day, a dictionary of moods, a rhythm, not a schedule.

• Your period — a time to rest — permission to slow down, a cocoon of warmth, the “I don’t have to” list, fifteen minutes of quiet.

• Follicular phase and ovulation — energy — a list of new beginnings, one brave thing, time to meet people, learning something new.

• Luteal phase — gentleness — a pause before answering, irritation on paper, finish, don’t start, a kind word to yourself.

• Moon rituals — new moon: three intentions, full moon: gratitude, a walk under the Moon, waning moon: what I let go — simple rituals of intention and gratitude, like beautiful marks on your calendar.

E-book edition: every practice has clear steps and why it helps. The journal pages for writing are in the printed and PDF edition.

Illustrated in soft watercolour, in full colour. Tiffany — a fluffy apricot maltipoo puppy and the author’s own dog — opens every part of the book and keeps you quiet company in small vignettes on the practice pages.

A warm, thoughtful gift for a friend, a sister, your mother or yourself — there is a dedication page to write who it’s for. Inside there is also a readers’ discount on the Tishe app: a yearly subscription with 3 months free.

The book is linked to the Tishe app, which offers 200+ practices with timers, a 30-second mood check-in and journal, 21-day programmes and a gentle daily reminder.

This book is gentle self-care support, not a medical guide; it makes no predictions and does not replace a doctor or therapist.
