The thing that’s missing from your Perimenopause Health and Fitness plan…

Hot flushes, mood swings, achey joints, insomnia, irregular bleeding….

Perimenopause can be a really tough time.

And whilst HRT can help many women physiologically with symptoms, it does not fix everything.

Psychological coping strategies can be powerful tools to help women navigate the menopause transition.

Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would extend to a friend in need.

While many women have a natural gift for empathy, often knowing the right thing to say to make others feel better, research shows that we aren’t so kind to ourselves.

Self-compassion doesn’t always come naturally.

Instead, women often fall into a trap of giving endlessly to others while leaving no time or energy to care for themselves. This is a recipe for burnout – especially at midlife when commitments are often hectic.

As Estrogen declines, depression rates increase in women.

Maybe you can relate?

Well the good news is that esearch shows self compassion to be an important tool in making sure that all women don’t become depressed.

For example, self-compassionate women reported that hot flushes interfered less with key daily life experiences such as sleep, work, relationships and mood.

So, if you feel that nothing has worked for you in the past, developing SELF COMPASSION needs to be your next focus….
