Woke up in a foul mood today, feeling like there is no point in doing anything. This has been happening more often recently. I haven’t had a holiday in 7 months and have just been through a financial year end. Maybe that’s what it is. I am, however, told the feeling of pointlessness is quite common in perimenopause / menopause. Somehow, people have the need to point this out on a regular basis….
I work in finance, love my job, and still have a lot of career plans to fulfil, not to mention personal goals. Today, it feels like it’s all too much. I have no children, no elderly parents to look after. I shouldn’t feel this drained. So what else could this be???? I sometimes wonder if I am overthinking all this. But my need to be prepared and in control of my body (as much as I can) is much stronger. On top of that, I spent most of my life looking for inner peace. I am told when the menopause kicks in, that inner peace will be destroyed. This is one of my biggest fears. So I have an ambitious plan… Maybe I am biting off a little more than I can chew, but I am so determined to win with hormones!!! Following some instagram / Pinterest advice: I am now doing resistance training (what a result in my mental health!!!!!!). So, I will be doing a Get Peachy challenge by Chloe Ting. I have done it once before. It is my favourite. I also purchased a Couch to 5k C25K app. I am on week 4 day one. I haven’t run in a while, so this one might be tough…. right! Time to get out of bed….
