How tuning into our cycles helps with creativity

We often ignore the planet’s cycles and our own personal rhythms. At what cost?

Have you heard the term “cyclical creativity coach” before? I hadn’t, until I spoke to writer Kelly Wilde Miller. After a decade of entrepreneurial and creative frustrations, plus painful health issues such as adrenal fatigue, depression and nervous system dysregulation — she rediscovered her creative flow through aligning herself with the main cycles of life (such as the four seasons, her circadian and menstrual rhythms and broader creative cycles). She helps people embrace their inner and outer cycles and lean into our own nature-based wisdom.

The ability to tap into our natural cycles is something many of us have lost touch with in our modern day, always-on culture. We often ignore the planet’s cycles and our own personal rhythms. Many things move in cycles: the planets, the weather, the tides, our human emotions, fashion trends — and nature seems to have quite the affinity for spirals (from small things like shells, pine cones and petals, to the bigger things like hurricanes, double helix DNA and even galaxies.)

I have been so fascinated by the topic and have since been asking myself how I can get back into touch with my own cycles — and so I asked Kelly to write something helpful for us. This piece below is a fantastic reminder for us all. Big thanks to Kelly for writing this piece about tapping into nature’s creative blueprint. Hope you enjoy, I got so much from this.
