Menopausal Mondays

Self Talk

The reasons why I can’t sleep are typically related to five things:

• Stress or ongoing worries;
• PM coffee;
• More than a glass of wine the previous night;
• Consumption of something unusual;
• Not enough physical activity.

(Often related to item 1 and 3 for me 😬, and more often than not in a double wammy).

I keep trying to convince myself to be kind to myself and to take it easy, to accept that not everything is within my control and to let it go. That exercise becoming easier and that does help with sleep. To be fair it helps in other aspects of my life. I hope this helps someone in a similar situation. The solution to a problem is 9/10 times right under our nose and is simpler to implement than we think.
