I know that maybe I am sounding like a broken record. {Have you ever played a record? They’re big, mostly black vinyl flat discs and if they get scratched, the needle of the record player gets stuck in one groove and it plays the same section of sound over and over- just for clarity’s sake!}

I’ve been dealing with the up’s and down’s of hormones for these many years, and I am just coming to understand the role of stress {and yes, our thoughts and beliefs are a huge part of that!} in hormone balance.

Learning to quiet our nervous system is paramount. Moving and stretching and having good blood flow is very  important. Eating foods that support our endocrine system and support healthy elimination is crucial.

The fallout of imbalance is costly isn’t it? Irritability, a feeling of instability, low brain chemistry, over-reactivity, not to mention the pain of headaches, body aches, cramps, weight issues etc. etc. etc.

If you are experiencing this roller coaster ride, I would encourage you to:

~Use the resources on Lioness to support yourself in making healthy changes, whether that is reading the blog for a daily uplift and reminder, or trying some of the recipes or signing up for coaching or seminar!

~Check out www.happyhormones.com.au. I’m impressed with the free 8 week program they offer along with a free e-book that is full of incredible information on healing your endocrine system. I think they are right on the money! It’s the deep, real, slow and very effective version of self-help that gets to the root of the problem. They also sell products to help with the process, but what you can glean from them that doesn’t cost a dime is amazing!

~Do all you can to simplify your life. Too much pressure and strain will keep you stuck in a pattern of swinging from one extreme to another. Much of the pressure we have is self-inflicted. If you’re suffering, please do a little self-diagnostic and see what physical or emotional or mental weight you can drop. Learn to say no, or at least learn to say yes with definite parameters that don’t compromise your health.

I wish you all the best my friend!

Please, please, please take good care of yourself in every way you can.

Love,

Jacque
