Make hay while the sun shines...
In our early 40's and 50's we are at our peak in terms of family life, decision making, confidence & self esteem. We have gone through the roller coaster of earlier years and its a time before the roller coaster of perimenopause symptoms kick in, that we should get our house in order so to speak...this is when the first signs of a less sharp brain or physical health issues appear but this is alsothe time to take action..as JFK stated below and the old adage 'make hay while the sun shines'.
If there was one message I would love women in the early 40's onwards to know and listen to is - This is the time ...this is the time to future proof your body, to prepare your brain and enhance it and the rest of your body for the years ahead. You need to stop, re-assess your life, physically, mentally, emotionally the whole gambit and take action where needed...don't wait for symptoms to happen, preparing ahead means many of the physical and emotional symptoms of perimenopause may never happen for you. I was very fortunate to have been friends with Aisling Grimley of My Second Spring for many years before I started perimenopause and knowing what was ahead and preparing myself has definitely made all the difference...it's this journey that made me set up Wellness Warrior :-)
