7. Practice Great Self-Care
Now that you have focused time and effort on reducing and managing the negatives in your life, you can focus on adding the positives. Self-care is a natural starting point. During the stages of menopause, it may seem that your body is against you, but try to make yourself the priority. Start by making appropriate diet choices, allowing enough time to receive the rest you need each night and exercising more often. These three things will improve your physical health and boost your energy throughout the day. More importantly, the influence of improved self-care on your emotional health is unbelievably positive. Your moods will be more stable as your stress moves to the background.
Despite what you've probably heard about menopause and weight gain, it is possible to avoid weight gain and maintain a healthy weight.
