Menopausal anxiety and feelings of overwhelm begin for many women during the menopause transition.
We loved this interview with Jo Mosley, who learned to surf in her 50s after menopausal anxiety knocked her confidence.
An excerpt:
What drove you to get involved with fitness? Desperation! I was not sleeping and was feeling completely overwhelmed by life. Bursting into tears in Tesco’s biscuit aisle with my sons was the final straw. When I told a friend what had happened she suggested exercise might help and offered me an old indoor rowing machine that she no longer wanted. It all started from there.
What do you love about exercising outdoors and interacting with nature? I love the sense of freedom and perspective that nature brings. The sun comes up and the sun goes down, the seasons change, life goes on whatever is going on in my world or what I am anxious about.
Here are other ideas about lifestyle changes that can help.
