Putting yourself first




I'm currently on a sabbatical and it's been a real time of reflection. I've realised I was carrying a lot of stress and needed to practice self-love. It's vital if you're to live your best life.

I have been working with a lady who creates pamper packages and in the process I have developed a range of postcards for her with uplifting messages; a sample is shown above and it's challenged me to practice what I preach! 

If you would like some postcards focussed on wellbeing, perhaps to send to a friend who is struggling or to put on your fridge as a reminder to take time out, get in touch. I can create bespoke ones for any occasion or message.

But not the hot flushes and night sweats - they are horrid, but I am focusing on mood disorders that are exacerbated or triggered by the perimenopausal hormone changes.  I'm talking brain fog, memory issues so much so you think you have dementia, anxiety leading to phobias, and the depression which is all-consuming. I want to share that I have all this every 3-4 weeks at the moment and have done now for nearly 5 years. Surely this will end soon? They say 10 years is possible. I've recently started following Louise Newson from Balance; she's a doctor with really great advice and support around menopause and all the problems it brings for women. As well as Davina Mcall, she and Dr Greenhouse are sending out a very clear message which resonates ...
