Awaken: Fresh Starts and Aligned Action
The Awaken Phase is a time of fresh starts, vibrant energy, and inspired action. Aligned with the waxing moon, the follicular phase, the season of spring, and the element of air, this phase embodies growth, new beginnings, and a renewed sense of possibility. After the rest and reflection of the Attune phase, the Awaken phase brings a natural boost in motivation, clarity, and energy, making it the perfect time to engage in habits that align with your goals.
During this phase, you may notice a shift in your energy—feeling more upbeat, focused, and ready to take on challenges. Rising estrogen levels help to stabilize blood sugar, regulate appetite, and boost mood by increasing serotonin and dopamine. These hormonal changes enhance the brain’s ability to form new neural pathways, making it easier to establish and embrace new habits. You might even feel naturally less hungry and more inclined to move, making this the ideal time to kickstart a wellness habit, whether it’s losing weight, detoxing, or trying a new fitness routine.
If you’re aligning with the moon cycle, the waxing moon brings an uplifting energy that mirrors growth and expansion in nature. As its light increases, it inspires action, motivation, and momentum, aligning beautifully with the rising energy in ourselves. In plant life, sap flow begins to increase during this phase, signaling a time of nourishment, upward movement, and preparation for flourishing growth. This is a phase to lean into creativity, set intentions, and build toward your goals.
TAKE INSPIRED ACTION
The energetic attributes of the awaken phase include intellect and action, making it a great time for planning, brainstorming, and building momentum toward your goals. Think of this phase as a springboard for positive change, whether it’s in your fitness, diet, or mindset. It’s also an excellent time to engage in Cycle Habits, incorporating different wellness practices in rotation over the course of the month to align with your body’s natural rhythms.
This phase is like spring for your body and mind—a time of growth, renewal, and planting seeds for the future. Leverage the motivated, optimistic energy by taking aligned action to manifest your heart and soul desires. The Awaken phase reminds us to channel this burst of energy toward habits and actions that support our long-term well-being, setting the stage for sustainable growth and transformation.

Track Your Cycle Habits
I designed Cycle Habits with you in mind, because trying to keep up with a long list of daily to-do’s causes stress, feelings of failure, and is not sustainable long term. Track your productivity and wellness habits on a monthly basis instead – it immediately feels much more expansive! So take a breathe, and get ready to achieve your goals with more ease and less hustle.
Get the Kora Organics Glow
During the follicular phase, your skin is naturally more resilient and primed for renewal, making it the perfect time to enhance your glow. Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask is a favorite for this phase, as it gently resurfaces skin with natural exfoliants while boosting radiance. For added hydration, Noni Glow Face Oil replenishes moisture, and promotes a dewy, luminous complexion.
Radiant Skin? It’s All About The Filterbaby
Filterbaby is the only water filter that’s clinically tested and dermatologist-approved to give you just that. It’s the number one choice for filtering out impurities in your water, which makes a huge difference in your skin’s health.

These habits not only boost resilience but also support healthier aging and longevity. The Awaken phase is the perfect time to collaborate, share your voice, and exchange ideas with others, as rising estrogen levels naturally enhance the prefrontal cortex, fueling creativity and communication.
Clean Eating, Elevated with SAKARA
During the follicular phase, rising estrogen levels stabilize blood sugar and regulate appetite, naturally reducing hunger and making it the ideal time to start a detox or new eating program as your body is primed for renewal and positive change.
