New moon feels.

November 2018

I find that taking a much needed time out during the new moon is the best thing for me. Less screen time, I stop answering the phone, I stay home, say no to as many things as I can, take extra baths and so on. I don’t always get this kind of luxury at this time in my life but I try to be mindful about it.

This is the time in my moon cycle where solitude is important, I’m even more sensitive than normal and need the space. I have two kids but they do listen to me when I close my bedroom door and say I need fifteen minutes. So I try to do that even when the mama guilt waves roll.

The new moon is a wonderful time to spend quietly, within a nourishing space, and practicing lots of extra self care. I find that journaling and coming up with new business or crafting ideas is nourishing as well.

Also playing with my camera and creating happy accidents within the frame. What are your new moon rituals?
