One more reason to keep tabs on your cycle: you might be able to zero in on the time of the month when you’ll have the best ideas.
Say what? The higher the probability of conception, the more ‘original and flexible’ the thinking was for participants, per new research†. As in, the closer you are to your most fertile days, the more innovative you may be. ‘Around ovulation, when our oestrogen levels increase – and before they drop – our physiological processes are our allies,’ says study co-author Katarzyna Galasinska. ‘Sex hormones act as a mood enhancer.’
Also, at this time, women tend to take more risks and feel a little more courageous (all good things for creativity).
