Menopause – Seeing the Brighter Side of It

Menopause is not a disease or malfunction of the body, but a process every woman will experience eventually in life. Imagine it like a railway – with a beginning, a middle part, and an end. Perimenopause, being its beginning, is when a woman’s fertility starts to decline together with hormone production. Because of the decreased hormone production, menopause symptoms begin to occur including weight gain, night sweats, insomnia, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sudden mood swings, depression, etc. On the other hand, the middle part which is the klimakterium happens only once. It appears 12 months after the last period. Last part is the post-menopause stage where the woman is finally one her own. This is the time when you can start refashioning your goals and views in life.

During this transition in life, you must start thinking differently. Being a mature woman, you should have better purposes in life and should think of it positively. There are many wonderful thoughts you can discover in every stage of life, and during this transition, you can find lots. Be open for many opportunities you may encounter for these may not be available once again. Actually, it all depends on you. How open are you to the countless opportunities and treasures that may only be just around the corner?

Always remember that you are not a victim and menopause is not a disease that’ll pull you down. We are all different and special in our own ways and the experiences we will achieve after the transition are also different and special in many ways. A few lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise will help slowly but surely.  This way, you can better take control of your menopause journey. Don’t let it gobble you up, instead move your body and think of it the positive way.
