4.1 Stay relaxed during menopause

Every woman reaches menopause at some point. Menopause is not a disease and nothing to be afraid of. Once you know what will happen in your body and what to expect during the menopausal years, you have made an important step towards a smooth transition. There are so many things that help you get through your menopause healthily and with ease. Your attitude to menopause and to getting older can have a great impact on how you experience the changes during this time. Your own living conditions and the challenges you need to overcome also play a role in the process. Some women consider menopause as a good time to look back at their previous lives. Some women see menopause as an opportunity to deliberately recalibrate their lives. Accept this new phase in your life as what it is: a time where YOU take centre stage and an opportunity to fill your life with joy and happiness. Curiosity and equanimity are good companions on this journey.
