🌟As we head into October, I am aware that it is Menopause Awareness Month. This is a month dedicated to highlighting the experiences of women going perimenopause and menopause, with the aim to an increased understanding of how it impacts women’s health.
🌟Last October I wrote about how the menopause affected my body, emotions and hormones and how I was going to try and follow the advice of given of getting plenty of sleep, eating a healthy diet, exercise regularly, relax , and talk about how I am feeling.
🌈This is where I am now:
😴Sleep – whilst I don’t feel as though I’m still getting as much as I should, recently I am taking time during the day to have a nap when the feeling of sleep is overwhelming. I have given myself permission to do this without feeling guilty. For this I thank my husband who has pushed me (quite literally on occasion) to go and sleep. This helps me get through the rest of the day in a better frame of mind.
🏃♀️Exercise – well, I can say I’m more active that this time last year but not as regular as I could be. Again, I started feeling guilty for not going to the exercise class, and not doing anything apart from walking but, after having another ‘don’t feel guilty’ chat with myself for not doing as much as I should, I know that I will do what I can when I can.
🍎Healthy eating – still a work in progress but I’m getting there!
🫖 Relaxation – I am taking more time for myself, but again I have had to have a strongly worded ‘don’t feel guilty’ talk with myself so I can enjoy my ‘me’ time.
🌈Overall theme for this Menopause Awareness Month is:
🌿Don’t feel guilty for looking after yourself.
🌟Having completed Reflexology for Menopause by Sally Earlam, I am in a wonderful position to help support those who are going through menopause or who are beginning the journey in perimenopause through reflexology.
