Are you confuse whether you already entering menopause or not?
You feel not all the sign appeared to you, except you suffering
stress all the time. It’s a fact that not knowing what to expect
from menopause can cause you more stress than if you are well
informed. However, if you arm yourself with the bodily facts
about menopause, you will be in a more knowledgeable position to
discuss with your physician any kind of medical treatment he or
she may prescribe.
Despite the new openness concerning menopause, it can still be a
shock when a woman realizes she has reached this time in her
life because even during the best times of our lives, change
bring on stress.
A woman in menopause faces physical changes and new emotional
realities. Although Eastern and Western disciplines disagree in
the interpretations of stress response and their prescriptions
for how to deal with it, recognition has grown in both
disciplines that body and mind are intertwined, working together
- or against each other.
When you enter menopause, stress is likely to be a factor,
simply because of the new layer of change that’s being added to
your life. It can be helpful to understand what we now know
about response to stress before you think about ways to deal
with it.
Here are 10 easy steps for distressing you when entering
menopause:
1. Write a list of goals you’d like to achieve. Focus on doing a
few really well, rather than a lot in a mediocre way. You can’t
add hours to the day, but you can cut down on activities.
2. Say no instead of yes. People agree to requests from others
because they like to please them. Instead, realize that you have
a right to say no. Creating plans or policies makes saying no
easier. (”I’m sorry, I already have a financial planner.” “I’m
sorry, we already have a plan for giving to charities.”)
3. Stop being a slave to communication tools. Do you really need
an office phone, a home phone, a cellular phone, pager, fax,
e-mail and internet ICQ technology?
4. Stop spending time to save money. Instead, spend money to
save time. Don’t drive across town to save a few cents on a
grocery item. It’s not worth your time. Do hire someone to do
chores you’re not fond of.
5. Cancel subscriptions to magazines you never get around to
reading. Only read one newspaper per day.
6. Cut back on television time. Only watch those shows you
decide on beforehand. Circle them in the television-listing
magazine. Then turn off the television when the program is over.
Cancel extra cable television packages for channels you rarely
watch. Go for broke. Give up watching television altogether.
7. Clean out your basement or your office. If you’re not using
something, get rid of it. Put an expiration date on items when
you can’t decide to keep them or not. Get rid of them when the
expiration date arrives.
8. Quit organizations that aren’t contributing to your
advancement, your network or your fun.
9. Automate repetitive, clerical, mechanical tasks. For
instance, set up automatic bill payments. Include your automatic
savings plan as part of your monthly spending.
10. Make a plan for the weekend that doesn’t involve work. Plan
to spend more time with your family or with people who make
positive contributions to your life. Stop spending time with
people who are a drain on your energy or vitality.
