Can't be bothered? That's OK! 🩷
Hello you 😊
We're not one of those menopause support types who do the whole "DO ALL OF THE THINGS! GET UP NOW!! GO TO THE GYM!!!", and in fact, and because reasons, we find all that stuff a bit 😬 Call it toxic positivity, if you like.
It's great if you're full of beans and energy and aren't feeling like a bedraggled carrier bag stuck on a twig mournfully flapping about, where your only movement is due to weather. But for those of us who are that carrier bag, the constant 'whooping up' and GO GET 'EM in some quarters can frankly just get on our t!ts.
So instead, we subscribe to the "do what you can, when you can" school of thought, and as it's a Monday and coming up to a busy and potentially stressful bit of the year thought it was timely to post about this as a reminder:
If you can, do some exercise, whatever it is: just waggle your legs about a bit if that's what you can muster. Go outside on the days it's as pleasant as November can be, and touch some grass and some trees. If you feel like a hibernation duvet day (and you can sidestep commitments for a bit), flipping have one! If you can, have a tidy and a clean - sort out a cupboard or a drawer that's been getting on your nerves, it can help with feeling satisfaction in a job well done. If you can't be bothered showering, just wash your face. Little steps get you just as far as big steps, even if it takes a little bit longer...
We hope that's helpful, M-bracers. Do what you can, and look after yourselves 🩷
Sometimes I wash my face !!!
