Spring is in the air and this is a great time to revitalise your mojo. It could be your health mojo, your relationship mojo, your work mojo or whatever is else important to you.
When the seasons are changing it is easier to break out of your current habits and do something new. You do it naturally already. You may be getting up earlier to take advantage of the lighter mornings. You may be starting to put away your winter clothes and get the summer clothes out. Maybe you are changing what you are eating as the new season’s vegetables and fruit appear on the shop shelves. You might even be getting your running shoes on.
While you are making those changes why not take a few more steps to revitalise your body and your life? If you are experiencing menopause symptoms it might be hard to believe but by making some simple changes you can start to reduce or eliminate the symptoms.
It all starts with committing to a taking action to balance your hormones, improve your sleep and banish anxiety. Once you make that commitment, the changes can become part of your new routine so you don’t have to think about them anymore. They are just new healthier habits.
If you want to feel energised, getting better sleep is a good place to start. Regular good quality sleep will also reduce other menopause symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, low mood, poor memory and weight gain.
Here are 7 Top Tips to start you on your way:
- Reduce or avoid food and drinks in the evening that can disrupt good quality sleep such as: caffeine, chocolate, sugary foods, rich or spicy food, and alcohol.
- Include foods that aid better sleep such as lean protein, linseeds (flaxseeds), dark cherries, nuts, and chamomile tea.
- Do vigorous exercise in the morning and relaxing exercises such as yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi in the evening.
- Stop watching or reading anything in the evening that is over-stimulating. That specifically relates to avoiding news programmes and documentaries that make you feel stressed and anxious.
- Make your bedroom a sleep haven. Leave your mobile phone and other electronic devices outside the bedroom.
- Practice relaxation breathing techniques to help you to drift off to sleep. The easiest method is just to count to 5 as you breathe in and count to 7 as you breathe out.
- Use a meditation app or a recording to break you out of a pattern of worrying bedtime thoughts.
Make one or two changes and notice the positive results.
