The 35+ Wellness Shift Nobody Talks About 👀✨

Is it just me, or does it sometimes feel like your body's software update is completely glitching? Lord Jesus, help me! 😩

One minute you're living your best life on vacation, and the next you're awake at 3:15 AM, anxious about an email you sent in 2014. Not to mention, your internal thermostat still thinks you're at the beach!Girl, what is going on?

Well, for some women, it could be perimenopause—the hormonal plot twist nobody warned us about.

While perimenopause typically begins in our 40s, some women experience changes earlier. We're talking disrupted sleep, mood swings, unexpected anxiety, hot flashes, and the occasional midday crashout. Okay, maybe not a full crashout, but you get my point!

The good news is, however, we can learn to manage these changes and still keep it cute.

A Few Wellness Tips I've Been Exploring

1. Rethink that afternoon coffee.

I love my coffee, but I've noticed that drinking it later in the day isn't always my best decision. If caffeine makes you jittery, anxious, or interferes with sleep, try switching to decaf or enjoying it earlier.

2. Protect your peace.

And when I say slow down, I mean PLEASE slow down! We're so busy trying to get everything done that sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves. Try breathing exercises, mindfulness, or simply making time to rest.

3. Prepare for those midnight tropical vacations.

Personally, I sleep with the air conditioner and fan on all year long. But I've always been that way! 😂 Keeping your room cool, wearing breathable pajamas, and having cold water nearby may help with nighttime hot flashes.

4. Move your body.

Walking, stretching, and strength training can support your mood, sleep, and overall health. I've been told to just get outside and walk in the park. Sometimes, keeping things simple is enough.

5. Don't ignore what your body is telling you.

Not every symptom is necessarily hormonal, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the changes. Talk with your healthcare provider about what you're experiencing and the options available.

A Little Reminder, Ladies 🤍 Getting older doesn't mean our beautiful, vibrant years are behind us. Sometimes, it simply means learning to love and care for ourselves differently.

You are still beautiful. You are still worthy. And you deserve to feel good in every season of your life.

Now, ladies, let's talk! Have you noticed any unexpected changes in your sleep, mood, or energy? Or are you just trying to survive on less caffeine like me? ☕️😂
