I AM STILL HOT! IT JUST COMES IN FLASHES NOW!!

 

 

 

Funny is it ? But that's what happens to most  ladies when they hit  Mid 40's- Perimenopause -four to Seven or even 10 years leading up to menopause - is a time of wildly fluctuating hormone level - a journey towards discovering the "Bitchy you" or  a "Newer Version " of yourself -some one whom you have never met before.

 

Perimenopause can be aptly described as a time of crazy-hormone triggered mood swings, eratic periods, insomnia, weight gain, thinning hair, decreased libido, hot flashes or flushes - you never know when something might just offend you and turn you in to a "Drama Queen".  For some these mood swings may start in late 30's and then you may think- ME? Am too young for menopause?

 

 

 

 Well only a proper consultation with your doctor and tests will reveal if you are actually undergoing perimenopause or the so called transition to menopause?

 

But the good news is Perimenopause is not necessarily as dreadful as is described, it could be beginning of your spiritual journey. Rather than focussing more on what is happening and why it is happening it would help in a better way to focus on what you want from life?

Adapt few changes in your life style, go slow, give all the time you need to devote to yourself to make you feel better. Add light exercise routine; aerobics, as well weight training to your routine- it will help you prevent bone loss, and also avoid stiffness in body.

 

Practise deep relaxation and meditation as much as possible  it helps to wipe out the unwanted stress and drama created by hormones. Aligning with highest, having time for quite, reflection, prayer and meditation helps to bring in the required balance in life.

 

 Listen to your body, listen to your mind, listen to everything that goes within you, it is a time to connect more deeply with the feminine power within you- because perimenopause is not just a set of those drastics shifts and physcial changes described by most women- it can be a magical journey to personal growth and  transformation. It could be fulfilling experience to discover the purpose of our being in this planet. Just let yourself flow with it and embrace the best years of life.
