What do you like about yourself?
From big to small? Are you a great cook? Are you a hard worker? A good listener?

What matters is finding something that you can say yes to about yourself. Perimenopause can have its ups and downs so let’s also look for the good stuff too.

I can be logical and rationale but I also have moments that can’t be explained by logic that lead me to discover cool things, learn lessons, connect with intuition.

For me that’s spirit.

Yay spirit!

If we can mindfully direct our attention to some of the good things we have going on it can make the stressful stuff feel a little less tough.

It’s. It about ignoring the hard stuff.

It’s a yes, and.

Yes I’m going through these hard things and here are some things are not so bad… because life is never all one thing

There are tough@moments in perimenopause for sure. No doubt when I get real hot lol.

And I still love my body. It signals well when it needs something. More sleep, more movement. It lets me know.

Our body is changing, our minds too.
How can we make this a strengthening experience?
We do need support and there are also beautiful things happening a long the way.

So today/this week I will focus on gratitude.
What can you be grateful for?

I start each day with gratitude. Often 3 things:
1. About myself
2. My life
3. My work

Then how do I want to feel at the end of the day. Plan from there.

At night: what were my wins and what do I need to let go of?

Your intention is important as it allows to to seek out the things that support how you want to feel in the day.

Why does this matter in mid life- because stress has a huge impact on our well being as our body is changing. This is one way to manage it (of many)

Every day I see women who feel alone in their journey. Like everyone else has it together and it all figured out.

The priviledge of being in my position is that I get to say to each of these women. I have heard 5 stories today of women who feel just like you. Maybe their symptoms are a bit different but the idea is the same.

You are not alone
You are not crazy (your body is going through a big change)
You can get help and be supported

Your strategy just needs an upgrade- which is what I'm here for.

I hear from so many women about how their diet and exercise routine has been bang on for 20 years. How they didn't have to rely on notes or reminders because they remembered everything.

Well my friends, the game has changed, so the strategy needs to too.
We might need more memory tricks- notes in phone, reminders
We do need more strength training and muscle building
We do need more protein and fiber

Yes, our old habits, even if fantastic may need tweaked. Our body is fully changing and so we need to adapt to that change in a way that works for us.

It's it annoying? 100%. Do we have to do it anyway? Yep.

I get this comment all the time.

The changes in our body can create mood shifts in the blink of an eye.
It feels like puberty all over again.

There are options from MHT to herbs to types of therapy that can help.
Drop me a line if you want to know more.

We did to talk about these things.
Every single woman I talk to in my clinical practice feels alone in the struggle.
And I reassure them that the last 5 women I talked to that day feel the same way.

It can feel hard to share your journey, and... once you start you'll realize how many women are also struggling. Maybe their journey is slightly different but the point is this transition is inevitable for women in their 40s and 50s, so let's talk about it. Let's create the community to not feel so alone in it.
