What are the best engaging activities for perimenopausal women to feel good again?
Let’s talk about it.
When you reach perimenopause, oftentimes you feel like your body is out of control.
Your hormones are imbalanced and your moods are erratic. You begin having irregular bleeding, you may be gaining weight, you’re not sleeping as well. You’re having trouble concentrating, even suffering some memory loss.
So what can you do to help yourself feel better?
1. Aerobic Exercise.
When you exercise in the aerobic zone for at least 20 minutes a day you actually help to raise feel-good neurotransmitters, especially endorphins. Exercise helps increase your metabolism and helps your hormone metabolism as well.
Weight resistance exercise has also been shown to increase endorphins and should be done at least twice a week.
2. Yoga and other more Meditative Mind-Body Activities
These can really help to reduce your stress and help you get more grounded in your body and help to calm your nervous system.
3. Socializing
Get out there and do the things you love. Meeting with people who are fun, uplifting, and just enjoyable helps center you and calm your overactive nervous system.
Make time to play. Even as an adult you need to make time to enjoy fun activities. Play raises feel-good endorphins.
Women’s circles can be particularly effective at helping you feel good again. Women who participate in women’s circles that are supportive, nonjudgmental, and actually help them stay accountable for their health, find that going through perimenopause is much easier.
4. Sex
Sex helps to increase endorphins and oxytocin levels. A healthy sex life or at least regular orgasms can actually help to improve your moods and calm your nervous system.
