The problem with modern day womanhood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perimenopause appears at a time when we\u2019re spinning multiple plates, which is why we can often feel incredibly overwhelmed. We might have young children to look after or teenagers and we\u2019re dealing with elderly parents. We\u2019re working, and often at the top of our game career wise, which places a big strain on our resources, coupled with technology and how this has extended out the work day and kept our brains busy and disconnected from our body\u2019s natural rhythms. We as women also have this tendency to look after everyone else except ourselves, even our pets come before us! I call it \u2018hurried women\u2019s syndrome\u2019. Start to be kinder to yourself. If you need to rest then make time to rest. Men do this very well – they make time to exercise, they will sit down and stop even if the house is a tip! We need to be more like them!<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t just walk out the door and go live on a desert island (although that would be nice!) but what we can do is start to put ourselves at the top of the selfcare list and help our body become more resilient to what the day throws at us.<\/p>\n

So how stressed are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you\u2026.<\/p>\n
