It’s time to talk about the menopause.

– Mind, body and spirit is key to managing self.
– Mind: occupying time with reading, meditation, yoga, exercise, walking, peace and quiet.
– Body – exercise daily (30min),
– Soul – finding the space to be more spiritual, which gives you hope, positive mindset and motivation

Be kind to yourself – it’s a long and rough ride, so please seek out your support networks, educate yourself on the issues and most of all be kind to yourself as it is such a huge change to yourself and your body.

Rest as much as you can, it’s normal to be up and down emotionally and you just need to be kind to yourself and put yourself first for once. And don’t suffer in silence but seek help
