 Help! Help!
Dear
Menopausal Friend:
I wish someone would’ve helped me when I hit menopause. The changes can be subtle and
creep up on you. I didn’t even realize at the time that I was having trouble, but I
was. Hot flashes weren’t as horrible as
I’d heard so many talk about and my periods just sort of stopped. I figured I was gliding though. But, no. Now
that I am through it, I realize how badly I did feel and how much it affected my life and
relationships. Menopause is the time to
reflect. Menopause is the time to take care of
your body and your mind. Those hormones will
have their way with you if you don’t take charge of your life.
Choices
You do have choices. All those nasty habits developed over the years
need to be gone. Loving yourself, YOUR BODY,
is more important than the addictions and afflictions you cater to. Now, more than ever, is the time to decide to
create a healthy, fulfilling life. You want to
get older, not old. Right? Change your thinking and don’t let emotions run your
life. Healing, forgiving, dreaming, knowing
who and what you are about is essential. Guided
imagery and counseling are helpful and therapeutic. Visiting
a practitioner who specializes in natural hormone care is life-altering. Changing your diet to eating only real food is a
must, so is exercise.
Get on with it.
It’s exciting. What a life
you have. Feel blessed every day. It takes time and a bit of work but the rewards are
contentment, happiness, doing what you love and being who you love. Be glad you are alive. Remember to feel happy thoughts in your heart as
much as you can and your world will be transformed. The
choice is yours.
This is a big time in a
woman’s life, more than you might imagine. Read these web pages. Take the time to educate yourself. When you understand what is happening, it can make
the transition for you and your family easier. And, now is the time to develop a very good
sense of humor. Enjoy the ride.
Sincerely,
The Hot Flash Queen
