Menopause isnât something to âget through.â Itâs a season you can support.
The way you talk to yourself, the food you eat, how you move and how you sleep all shape how you feel through this transition.
Hereâs whatâs in this post:
1ď¸âŁ Practice positive self-talk
Notice the negative messages, reframe them, journal, use affirmations, check your environment and celebrate your wins.
2ď¸âŁ Transform your menopause journey
Eat well: fruits, vegetables, lean protein, plus calcium and phytoestrogen-rich foods to support bone health
Move often: walking and other weight-bearing exercise, along with aerobic activity, support mood, weight and sleep
Prioritise sleep: a consistent bedtime routine, less caffeine and relaxation techniques
3ď¸âŁ Try a deep breathing exercise
Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, breathe out for 4. Repeat for a few minutes when emotions feel big or stress is high. Once this becomes second nature, extend the out breath to the count of 6.
Small, consistent changes add up. You donât have to do it all at once. Pick one thing from this post and start there.
Which of these feels doable for you this week? Tell me in the comments.
