Empowering Women to Take Charge of Their Mental Health

Kay Price

EAP Counselor

Life can feel overwhelmingly busy, and the demands often seem relentless. It is important to recognize the busyness of life while continuing to push through the need to take a moment—especially when dealing with menopausal symptoms. Remember, it is perfectly acceptable to slow down and prioritize your wellbeing. It is vital to listen to your body and give yourself the care you deserve.

Throughout a lifetime, the human body and mind inevitably undergo significant changes. It is essential to discern whether to adapt to these transformations or simply persist without reflection. Individuals will at times confront thoughts such as, “I can no longer manage this,” or “I am uncertain how much longer I can continue.” Feelings of exhaustion, fatigue, and forgetfulness are clear indicators that the body is asserting the necessity of a break. Acknowledging these signals is vital to ensuring overall wellbeing. Taking time for rest and rejuvenation is not only important but essential for continued success and vitality.

International Women’s Day seeks to empower women to take charge of their health. Menopause is a natural stage that every woman experiences, but each journey is unique. Hormonal changes can greatly affect daily life, leading to symptoms such as losing your train of thought, pausing mid-sentence in conversations, or needing to take time from work.

The Workplace Options Wellness Coaching program is a great opportunity to enhance your self-care and awareness. Coaches are here to help you develop healthy habits that lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. Wellness coaching is an excellent starting point in the journey of taking charge of your mental and physical health. For example, focusing on sleep hygiene, breathing exercises, healthy eating, and regular movement can significantly enhance wellbeing. Armed with the right knowledge, you are fully capable of making impactful lifestyle changes that will improve your overall health.

There are great benefits to having someone to talk to like a wellness coach—someone who can offer a listening ear and support. Such a person can help you navigate the changes happening in your body and provide guidance in managing any symptoms you may experience. Rather than resisting these changes, you may find value in learning how to embrace them for a more positive experience. Remember, it is advisable to consult with a qualified health professional, whether a general practitioner or a gynecologist, if you observe any negative mental or physical changes in your wellbeing during life’s transitions.
