Self Talk Thinking about this coming year’s resolutions. Following on from last year’s “raisins”, I am keeping right about the same premise: me first. I probably need to explain the “raisins” reference. Every NYE, those of us who follow some Portuguese traditions (even abroad) set 12 raisins aside to be eaten by midnight on theContinue reading “Menopausal Monday”

Menopausal Mondays
Self Talk I used to enjoy reading. I used to enjoy writing. Always loved to socialise and meeting new people. Even though I was a bit of a geek and loved playing around with MS Access and the primary scripts of web designing (yes, I found fun and sometimes mindblowing 😂). Our active life getsContinue reading “Menopausal Mondays”
Menopausal Mondays
Self Talk No motivation. No energy. No joy. This is what it comes to most middle aged women every 22/30 days. All we want is for everything arounds us to slow down… Joints start to hurt, nerves cramping up, our temperature swings, brain fogs, we become more irritable, patience shortens… We look for all theContinue reading “Menopausal Mondays”

I’m loving the news I’m coming across lately. Finally we’re starting to see a career rewind 🥳 Our society was begging for a more ruthless shift in global future professional framework. It was about time we headed back to the drawing board! To slower and happier days for the younger generations 🥂

Just… Why?

Menopausal Mondays
Self Talk ” I’m exhausted.” I try and stick to all the right things on autopilot, so I don’t have to make choices (or wrong ones). It helps me stay on track. Some days it works, others require a bit more effort. I reckon that if I’ve got the healthy food and exercise plan right,Continue reading “Menopausal Mondays”
Going non-social?
There are perks. I never liked overlooking windows in my back garden. My idea of sharing on social platforms was always to keep connected with family and people I already knew. Yes, admittedly, there is some degree of nosiness, but in a healthy way, at least from my part. Several years followed with a lotContinue reading “Going non-social?”
Menopause apathy
I’m currently going through a phase where I am going through my daily motions as if on auto-pilot. For a while now I feel like I’m only acting on prompts, only when my direct intervention is required. I no longer act by desire, by my own will. It’s like I’ve accomplished whatever I was meantContinue reading “Menopause apathy”

People Mean Business “Companies need to nurture their employee’s individual nature for them to feel confident in their role, as it will empower them, hence making them more productive.
