Menopause Turn Down The Heat...women go through many changes, throughout their lives - from childhood to puberty and then to menopause. Each phase presents different challenges which can cause much upheaval in their lives if they are not prepared. It is your life and your body so it is very important to learn all you can about how your body functions. The more you learn about how you can adjust and adapt to these changing times the better you can cope. Knowledge is empowering!
If you are in your forties or fifties you have probably spent time thinking about menopause. While it can come with some changes and challenges it can also be an opportunity to open up to this new chapter in your life, perhaps with more freedom from other commitments than you have had in the past. Menopause is a natural process of the permanent cessation of menstruation, also referred to as the "change of life." It is different for every women but it typically starts around the age of 51 years but it can occur anywhere between the ages of 40 and 60 years of age.
It can be brought on suddenly after a hysterectomy and usually with more severe symptoms as your body has been forced into this change from having the surgery. There are many noted menopausal symptoms with the most common being hot flushes, night sweats causing lack of sleep, vaginal dryness, forgetfulness, confusion, brain fog. Also, anxiety, depression, irritability and sore joints. Some women might get no symptoms or may get one or two but for others it can be quite debilitating. There are as many as 40 plus known symptoms that women may experience. A better understanding of what our bodies go through at this time can help us to feel better about ourselves and our choices. Instead of inwardly listening to the self-berating thoughts that we might have because we continually seem to be snapping at someone, or easily feeling teary for completely forgetting to do something that was important or whatever it might have been for you. The more you understand yourself, the better you are able to bring compassion to your experiences and this can have a ripple effect on your life.
Give your body the nutrients and vitamins it needs, have a good exercise plan, be kind and nurture yourself. Change the way you think about menopause and what you believe it will be like for you....as what you believe about menopause will affect your menopause story. Create your own story by arming yourself with the knowledge of how to get through this time. Menopause is inevitable but you don't have to suffer and do it alone, there are lots of options to help you through this change, so that you can enjoy the process. Even though it might feel like you are on a roller coaster at times, with the right help you can get off that roller coaster and ease on through with a gentler ride. Menopause is a natural transition and it is temporary!

Fluctuating hormones especially oestrogen and progesterone can cause anxiety or panic. Which can lead to a lack of confidence in your decision making at work and home. This is just temporary, take some deep breaths to relax yourself. When you bring calmness to your thoughts it is easier to find your confident self again. Support and self-care is important at this time so you can adjust to the hormonal changes you are experiencing....
