Love ALL of these and trying to put many of them into place over the years. I love the pyramid diagram. :) I think my ultimate nemesis is 'accepting' I am aging and what I did to my body years ago is showing up. (yes, I was the person who used baby oil to get a tan ;) I LOVE the water and just lived in it over the summers growing up as a swimmer and lifeguard. Over the past few years, downgrading from a stressful job and lifestyle of 'go-go-go' has definitely helped balance my emotions and energy. No one gives you a book on how you'll feel as we age. We have other people's experiences of whatever they feel comfortable sharing and the constant ads of how 'not to age', so it definitely messes with one's head and adds more self-pressure. Coming from a healthcare background focused on prevention and wellness, I have strived to keep myself as healthy as possible, I didn't appreciate the under current of how stress and moving into menopause would all collide together - also, possibly some genetics thrown in there, too... Thank you, Megan for taking the time to share!
