The mentality you take during Menopause can have a massive impact on how easy or hard the journey is. In the far eastern oriental countries, Menopause is seen as an exciting new phase of a woman’s life and they even celebrate it. In African countries Menopause is seen as a move into cultural leadership, to guide younger women going through the phase, Yet in the west it is often seen as a daunting experience and plays out as such as a result.
Menopause can be like one of the two wizards from Lord of the rings. It can either be a threat like the, like the evil Saruman, that wreaks hell and tyranny on your hormones, causing considerable stress, anxiety and even terror, or it can be a light of hope like the heroic Gandalf The White Wizard, showing opportunities to grow, be resilient and triumph against those challenging symptoms.
What we say, what we do, what we feel is a #choice that only we can make ourselves. There is normally a tendency see Menopause as a truly hellacious, overwhelming experience which can cause many women to lose motivation and be highly anxious when symptoms hit. That mindset alone is enough to cause….
- major stress,
- illness
- depression
- promote negative self-talk
- Watching sad films
- Drinking and bad habits
This is where Menopause can stand triumphant. However, Menopause can also be an opportunity to make positive lifestyle changes such as….
- Healthy eating
- Working out or going to the gym
- Changing negative self-talk to positive self-talk
- Taking out toxic people from your life.
- Changing what you expose yourself to.
- Changing your environment
- Engaging more in the things you love.
WHICH EXPERIENCE DO YOU WISH TO HAVE? THAT IS DOWN TO YOU.
