Making the Menopause Mindshift

I joined some menopause Facebook groups to help me navigate my journey. I needed a support system of some sort where I could ask questions, complain and offer support to others. I also started following some menopause “experts” on Instagram and TikTok to see if they had anything new to say.

Once I was in the environment, I noticed one common denominator. Everyone posts about how much it sucks. They share all the negative things that came along with their menopause journey. Even those who are taking HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) said they still had other symptoms. It’s rare to see a woman say, “I haven’t had any issues with menopause.” Most women are struggling and want to know when it’s going to end. 

I’ve been going through a transformative year. I’ve actually seen most of my menopause symptoms reduce and some have gone away. My hormones are starting to balance out and my personal stress level is way down from the start of the year. I’ve spent the year working on myself in every way and I am seeing the results of my efforts.

The thing that has made the most impact, is my attitude. In previous blogs, I have shared how much I have struggled in pretty much every area of my life these past few years. I really needed something to change IN me, in order for things to change FOR me. I spent years being miserable and letting others opinions dictate my life. I was numb all over and that had to change. I know now that the worse I felt, the worse I was going to feel. My attitude was in charge and I had to get in under control.

I starting seaching for more. I went to a new counsellor. I bought every Secret book that I could find. I started writing out things that I was grateful for, which I had never done before. I found books about relationships and triggers and read those. And I started to listen to frequency music to retrain my brain and my body. I wanted to shed all the negativity that I was holding inside me for so long.

The next step was to retrain my brain to let go of the past and release all the negativity surrounding it. But how? Well, it’s not an overnight thing. It takes some work and loving yourself. Who actually thinks about if they love themselves? I hadn’t really, until recently. I joined a new community and became part of Kathleen Cameron’s, House of Manifestation after listening to an interview she gave to Shantelle Bisson on her Without Loosing Your Cool, podcast. Wow! I quickly discovered that I wasn’t loving myself. I hated my body and was carrying anger about a lot still, so I wanted to surround myself with postive, like minded people.

Finding meditation has been a key factor of my transformation this year. I don’t think I would be as far ahead as I am now if I hadn’t started meditating each morning. I was listening to vibrational music while writing my gratitude list but meditation has been a game changer. In my search for more, listening to guided meditation allows me to be on the same frequency as the law of vibration. It is actually the law of vibration that is the primary law, not the law of attraction. Vibration is what causes attraction.

Combining all of my efforts in changing my mindset has created a shift in me. As a part of this shift, I realized that if my thoughts can create the life I desire, that can include my menopause journey. I started to focus specifically on things that are good about menopause. I started small, and wrote that I was grateful to not have bloating every month any more. I started to not just say that I was healthy, I started to live it more. I decided that I wasn’t letting sugar cravings, stress or any other outside force affect the work that I was doing inside. I had to love myself. When you love yourself, you are a vessel to give love. Like I said in my previous blog, the pros make it look easy. It’s not easy, but I am making a cognitive decision to be happy and it’s working! I feel better than I have in five years! I feel empowered! I feel like starting a revolution! I’m on a mindshift revolution to change the way we think about menopause.

As part of my mission I created a new youtube channel dedicated to talking about the Menoause Mindshift. Our thoughts create our reality, so let’s shift the peradigm about the menopause journey.
