Sometimes life feels like A LOT! Especially when you are in Peri-Menopause. Some days can feel like a race to the end of the day when you can lay down and close your eyes. Most days I need to close my eyes well before the end of the day, just to keep balanced at all.
This can be one of the hardest things to get others to understand if they aren't there. It seems CRAZY that we would NEED, with a Capital N, these moments of rest but they are crucial to survival in Menopause. For a yogi who was always striving to move steadily through and not linger in one place for too long, it has been a huge shift in my life and my practice. I went from being unstoppable to being stopped dead in my tracks by exhaustion, full body fatigue, and joint pain. My body tells me in no uncertain terms. STOP!
What do you need to be different in your life right now in Peri-Menopause? What can't you do without? What is it that you are denying or doing despite your inner voice telling you to stop?
It has been really hard speaking up about my needs and taking the time for myself, but I try to do it anyway. Ask my family what happens when I don't. It isn't pretty. Take time to slow down, go inside, rest, and eat well. You will thank yourself and so will your family. I have been learning about myself, about herbs that support me, about slow moving intentional yoga and about what it really means to be in a healthy relationship (family, self, kids).
Join my Sunday morning yoga for Menopause class and have an opportunity to share your story with other women, to hear from other women, to get and give advice and support. Your body will thank you.
