Our 18-day Cycles

... feeling like I'm spinning my wheels/trapped and going nowhere or living a pointless life. While that's not true in any sense, I still felt it... a kind of lonliness or isolation. Otherwise, nothing external seemed to occur.

Thanks!
That sums it up perfectly!

I'm approaching day 9 tomorrow and I'm aware that I need to balance out exactly the feelings you describe.
Nothing seriously unwanted has manifested in my daily existence...but I feel the tug of my physical being wanting to focus on more of those pesky "negative" or unwanted emotions.
Yes, I'll admit I felt a bit more annoyed that traffic was terrible this morning...and why can't people drive without distraction?!
(...not kidding)



It's interesting that the awareness of the cycle may certainly summon the expectation of catalyst in our illusion...but at the same time, I think it's neutralized because we are prepared to balance the feelings with a more desired state of wellness.

I suppose it also matters just how high the highs are, and how low the lows are. In other words...are the events and circumstances within the cycle extreme enough to elicit any great sense of emotional reaction one way or the other?

I love this topic because I think it's a good exercise to explore both sides of any topic that is meaningful...and then balance it towards our own sense of satisfaction (one-ness?) and learn to make peace with our personal well-being, regardless of where we are in our 18 day cycle.
