I learned something yesterday. Menopause often changes our energy vibration.
Stick with me. Don't roll your eyes yet.
Your vibration is your energy frequency, the vibration you put out into the world. Every single person has different vibrations, representing who they are. They also reflect what you’ve gone through and are going through at the moment. Some people are high vibration--they often are compassionate, positive, grateful, mindful, and present. They emit joy, maintain hope, and radiate happiness.
Low vibration people are often annoyed by high vibration, happy people. They often play the blame game instead of taking accountability, get annoyed easily, constantly complain, and feel exhausted by everything.
So, what does this have to do with menopause? Low vibration people are characterized by sluggish thinking, slow learning, “mental fog,“ poor memory, and being stuck on problems and creative blocks. Does this sound familiar to anyone going through menopause?
This leads to decreased mood, frustration, and giving up on things you once loved, which kills your vibe even more.
I know it was this way for me. The last few years, I've felt like a different person. I hate that the brain fog took over and I couldn't recall things as quickly as I used to. My writing didn't come as easy, and I didn't feel like doing things I once loved because they felt harder, like cooking or even reading a book. It became harder to control my negativity, and I snapped at the people I cared about more often. My vibe was low.
Peri- and menopause can also impact your physical health in a big way. You may be having headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems, sleep disturbances, low libido, and frequent illness. These all contribute to low vibration.
It's been a long road, but last week someone told me my whole "vibe" had changed recently. My energy was different. "You just feel different."
And at the time, I didn't get it. I thought I was just me. But the truth was that menopause robbed me of a lot of things.
It took away my self-confidence because of the way it changed my body. It made me frustrated because of my brain fog and inability to focus. It changed my basic health, like my hormone levels and thyroid. It impacted my ability to get good sleep. It stole some of my creativity to write.
As I went through some challenges, I was so easily irritated, felt more anxious, and was incessantly annoyed. I felt like I had zero control over my life, and bad things were just happening.
And I've had to fight incredibly hard to find myself again, to change my energy, to reset my vibration level.
This meant carving out time to learn how to eat and exercise differently. It meant talking to a few different medical professionals to discover and address my unique issues. I needed to find new ways to cope with stress and set some new boundaries with people who were sucking the life out of me. I needed to talk about it with people who understood what I was going through at the moment.
I'm not here to sell you anything. I'm not pushing a supplement or cleanse or miracle drug.
I just wanted to say that if you felt like your vibe has changed, if you're going through a challenging period that's taking a toll on your health, your emotional state, your vibe, I get it, and I've been there too.
You may not be able to change everything, but you can start working on changing your energy.
Returning to or finding something you love doing is a great place to start. Finding the right medical professional who truly understands perimenopause and menopause is paramount. Talking about this experience with others who get it, who empathize, and who can share tips can change your entire perspective. Educating yourself on what's happening can empower you. Carving out time to care for yourself--even just five minutes a day--can change everything. Setting some boundaries with low-vibration people can help you from feeding off their energy, and finding time to spend with high-vibration people can help change yours.
If this sounds hokey to you, I get it. I felt that way, too.
But, if you feel desperate like I did, if you don't recognize yourself, if you feel like you are tired of feeling negative, despondent, and exhausted by it all, working on your vibe won't make it worse. In spiritual and holistic communities, maintaining a high vibrational state is seen as essential for physical health, emotional well-being, and mental clarity. Our daily habits, thoughts, food, and even the people we surround ourselves with influence this vibrational state.
Choose yours wisely.
We have control over the energy we put out and the energy we take in, even during our Menopause Era.
Don't let it steal your vibe.
Love your people hard. Love yourself harder.
