I’ve just written about our disconnection to our body so this is great to read alongside it for me. I’m in perimenopause and have had to make changes to feel better. I find everything is better if I’m sleeping well, I can cope with thoughts and feelings. I realised my old diet just wasn’t helping - sugar was disrupting sleep as well as my body shape. I’ve been surprised by how much cutting it out is helping. I’m getting to know my body all over again. I think if we’re numb to sensation and don’t spend time quietly with ourselves we’ll struggle to adjust to our changes. Thanks for sharing this. I’m looking forward to parts 2 and 3 - I will be following up on mine too xx
Yes! Cutting out sugar makes a HUGE difference - or even cutting down. And you are so right about the value of simply BEING with ourselves and our bodies. It's a challenge in today's world when we're bombarded by dopamine hits that we keep wanting to chase. Taking that time to really check in and FEEL goes a long way to creating a healthy realtionship with our own bodies. Look forward to reading your article!
