Lack of consistency in language.... I have to be

Lack of consistency in language....

I have to be honest, I am totally confused by the lack of consistency in how we refer to these transitional hormonal changes in a woman's life. It's really unhelpful when trying to communicate different phases of hormonal change and mental wellbeing during these shifts.

I do a lot of perinatal work as well as menopause work over @mindfulhypnobirthingbook and would prefer to use the term perimenopausal in the same way we use perinatal. It just seems so much easier 🤷‍♀️and accurate. Peri- means around. Why don't we?

I've tried to mix it up in my book a bit, but who else is with me on this? Surely I'm not the only person who struggles with the lack of consistency in definitions of women's healthcare?!

How do we start to change this?

Good morning! An early morning run through a quiet London. Just perfect. Monday it all begins to change.....

New York is also pretty spectacular very early morning. Anyone got a favourite early morning city run?

Me, ON A TRAIN going somewhere. Honestly, under that mask I am beaming....super excited to be getting away from Lincs for a few days. Whoever though travelling 150 miles could be so thrilling 😆

Not going to lie though I also felt some anxiety I’ve not experienced before - checklist level. Which for me is pretty high. This is definitely out of character, so I used some grounding techniques and some affirmations before leaving to get into a good headspace.

If you follow my stories today you can find out what I’m up to....(I am working) and live vicariously though me if you are desperate to get away.

Any suggestions of where to go and what to see while it’s still quiet?

Added bonus points if you can guess what I’m doing...

Older role models. Talk about inspiring! This is my mum, playing tennis and look at the smile ❤️. I've learned a lot from her and am so lucky to have her around, living close by.

My mother said recently " we would always ask our mothers, your generation always ask the internet" and it's true that is a lot of information out there that is helpful. But....there is also a lot in the women around you, if not your mother, and aunt, a close family friend, intergenerational groups.

We can learn a lot from women who have walked this menopause path already. I don't hold back from asking women about menopause - there are always ways of subtly introducing it into conversation.

We associate the term socialisation with children, but actually it applies to anyone that has something to learn as they grow and take on new roles. We continue to grow and learn all our lives, going through changes - birth and motherhood are other stages of socialisation when we are adapting and growing into the role of mother.

As you move into the next phase, of autumn queen or crone, you can learn from others who have already transitioned. But in society we seem to have lost that connection, the generational thread that should be woven into the fabric of society.

Do you have anyone that you can talk to or learn from, do you attend a woman's circle or similar?

Me out on one of my awe walks! There is nothing better than being out in the big wide open. How lucky am I to have such glorious countryside on my doorstep? This is just 5 minutes from where I live, there are woods, deer, wide open fields and huge skies.

Awe walks are walks where the natural landscape makes you feel that you are part of something bigger than yourself. Research shows you release oxytocin, a hormone which

✨makes you feel good
✨helps with cognitive function
✨reduces anxiety
✨may help prevent weight gain

Research shows that it declines as oestrogen declines, so it's important to search out ways to boost it. There are lots of free ways to do this and a walks are one 🙂

Trees, mountains and big waves are my big oxytocin boosters, but for a Surrey girl the big skies of Lincolnshire are also pretty awe inspiring.

Are mountains, trees, or seas, or something else entirely your big oxytocin booster?

Look up! Looking up is the easiest way to change perspective, especially if you're in the woods, and if you are like me I love to change things up every now and again. I also find it really calming to look up in the woods, or the sky and can often be found lying on my back looking up.

Changing perspective can stimulate your brain, energise you and you may discover something new. In escape room challenges I always look up 😂

If you've got a regular walk you do, why not walk it the other way around, walk a different route to the shops, or drive a different route to school. Sometimes I change my office around, as I find it helps with creativity.

Anyone else do this?
