@thepauseaffect: Perimenopause increases sensitivity across the board. Your body becomes less tolerant to stressors…even ones you handled easily before. This isn’t weakness. It’s a shift in how your body processes input. Tips: • Reduce stimulants (alcohol, sugar, etc) when needed • Build in more “me time” where you can focus on stillness (even if it’s only 2 minutes) • Ask your body 1x per day - “what do I need” - then give that to yourself 💕Join our community, The Pause Collective, for weekly support 💕 #ThePauseAffect #NotYourMamasMenopause #HormoneSupport #PerimenopauseAwareness #WomensHealth
