Let’s talk Menopause. Whether you are Peri-Menopausal or going through Menopause, it can be mixture of emotions. From night sweats to anxiety, the list of symptoms can be as long as your arm. That is why it is so important to speak up and break the taboo around talking about Menopause.
 
Menopause is a time of great change and it’s definitely a time of choice and should really be about finding out what you want. The attitude with which you embark upon this transition can have a huge impact on your experience of it, as well as on your choice of behaviours. Many of the changes that come with menopause and ageing aren’t avoidable. But how you experience menopause and the years that follow has much to do with your attitude. Far from being the end of life, you may find menopause to be a new beginning, one that can be lived richly, fully, and in good overall health. Knowing the spectrum of what’s a normal experience may help ease your concerns and help you to prepare for what’s to come.
 
The following tips can help you transform your menopause experience.
Watch Your Thoughts
There is growing evidence that the absence of positive thoughts has a greater negative impact on our health and well-being than does the presence of negative ones.
 
Laugh
Laughter brings us closer to people, moves us into more positive mind-sets, can stimulate our immune system, enhance our learning and memory, and help us cope better with the stressors in our lives. Laughter is a great menopause help.
Menopause tips
Make Time for Yourself
Exercise, eat right, and incorporate relaxation techniques into your day. This practice moves you out of the stress response, which is harmful to our health. When women actually make themselves a priority (even 15 minutes a day), dramatic changes can occur.
 
Stay Connected: Social support is key to health and can even help you live longer. It is one of the first pieces of advice women share.
 
Stay in the Moment
Try to be mindful (aware and present) of each and every moment of your life. This practice prevents you from worrying about the future (often fraught with anxiety) or dwelling on the past (often tinged with regret). Combine positive thoughts, a healthy lifestyle, and relaxation techniques.
