Monthly period

When you have your monthly period, there are some changes within your body, and your personality is likely to react to these. Usually he will label these changes as unpleasant, and unpleasant does not match the outcome 'pleasant' which he so highly values, and so the familiar mechanisms in order to get rid of these feelings, are set in motion. As a 'good' personality should, he first will attempt to project the unpleasantness onto others - even when it is very clear here that others cannot be blamed for this -. Popular options for this are of course the familiar being grumpy, irritation, retreat, ask for attention etc. And since this happens so frequently, he may be able to have this behaviour somewhat be accepted: this happens every month and he cannot help it, can he?! so if you please accept this and adjust to it. 

Just like with all other personality reactions, this is not so much about whether or not you should have to prevent this from happening or avoid it, you can use it as an opportunity to practice becoming aware of how your personality deals with situations which do not go to his liking and cannot give an outcome 'pleasant'. Become aware of what is going on and do realize this is a choice you make: it need not be like this, there is not 'truth' which prescribes these should be your reactions to an unpleasant situation. You can start to let go of your investment in it, and of course you could ask your inner Self to practically inspire you on this subject. And ladies, there is a guaranteed practice opportunity of several days each month ;-)
