Menopause: A Natural Phase In All Women’s Lives

There comes a time in every woman’s life when maturity comes and knocks. And menopause is the hand that grabs the door handle and lets it in. We are therefore talking about a very important physiological moment with such a transcendence that it tends to stimulate reflection and organization of other areas of life.

First, our bodies begin to experience changes that we may not understand, or may even hate. But with acceptance and a positive attitude, menopause can become a symbol of wisdom that can help us guide those who need our experience.

Symptoms of menopause

We all know some of the symptoms of menopause. The symptoms, especially in the early stages, tend to generate some resistance. Because in a way they are a sign that we are inevitably getting older. This initial symptomatology brings something that happens constantly in the consciousness: time passes.

Some of the symptoms are as follows:

• Irregular menstrual cycles, especially in the early stages of menopause.
• Dizziness, sweating and palpitations caused by feelings of sudden warmth and anxiety.
• Vaginal dryness that can generate pain during intercourse.
• Emotional changes, which can end up as a symptom of depression if not treated in time.
• Changes in metabolism, which usually results in an increase in body fat. In this sense, keep in mind the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
• Osteoporosis, that is, the loss of the amount of bone we have due to its decalcification.

If your body is showing symptoms of menopause, do not panic. Take your time, visit your doctor and, if necessary, do not hesitate to seek help from a psychologist. In addition, the support of your family and loved ones is a fundamental part of this new stage, which will affect your life physically and psychologically.

How to prepare for its arrival

The worst part of menopause may not be the actual menopause. Instead, it may be our psychological preparation to accept that we are one step closer to old age. But isn’t it true that a big part of being “old” is about your attitude?

The most important thing is to be aware that even though it is true that you are getting old, you have also lived a lot. And now is the time to take care of yourself physically and mentally. Daily exercise, at your own pace, eating right, and living in a relaxed and healthy way can help much more than you think it can.

But above all, having a positive attitude is the key to meeting menopause. Achieving physical maturity does not have to mean mental exhaustion. It’s just about strength and awareness. Admitting that your body has developed is the biggest symptom of health imaginable.

Another key to keep in mind is patience, due to the fact that a bodily change such as menopause is not easy to accept. Therefore, you should ask your loved ones to be patient with you. And above all, give yourself time to adapt as well.

Menopause: a sign of wisdom

Accepting that menopause is a step towards maturity is a sign of wisdom. The path you have taken throughout your life has undergone a metamorphosis. It has evolved, gone from learning to wisdom.

Now your advice will be what guides those around you. And while this will not stop them from making mistakes, it will help them create their future. You are one of their role models. Thus, it is best to look at the bright side of this phase. It is something natural, feminine and above all a way of accepting that you have reached a new stage in your life.

Be proud of the steps you have taken and help draw the silhouette of the steps your loved ones will now take. They will thank you, and you will feel that this kind of change, with the right perspective, ends up revealing the wisdom in all of us. Because we never stop learning from adversity.
