Staying Strong After And Through Menopause

Staying Strong After And Through Menopause

Menopause is a time of great change for women. It is a transition that can impact our physical and emotional function, sometimes bringing great challenges. It is also a transition that brings a wealth of wisdom and fulfillment if we take the time to listen within. With some attention to self care and nurturing, this can be a highly rewarding time of life.

Some tips for staying strong through and after menopause:

Spiritual: 1) Take time to stop and meditate at least 5 minutes twice a day for relief from mind chatter and an opportunity to listen within. 2) Acknowledge 5 things you are grateful for each day. This will attract more gratifying things into your life.

Physical: 3) Include exercise in your day, especially an activity like yoga, tai chi or stretching for developing and maintaining strength and flexibility throughout life. 4) Be sure to take vitamin supplements, with special attention to Calcium with D and Magnesium to maintain strong bones.

Mind/Emotions: 5) Connect with healthy support for you: friends, family, a support group, health practitioner and counseling. 6) Educate yourself about the changes you are experiencing through books, seminars, discussions with your health care provider, so you can be proactive about your health.
