One thing no one really talks about when it comes to menopause is how tired you feel!

Where before you could fly through your to-do list and still have the evening to do the things you love…you might feel like you’re ready to go to bed halfway through the day.

Hormones play a big role in our energy, and as they shift and change during menopause, women often feel more fatigued. But this doesn’t mean you’ve lost all the pep in your step!

Let’s get your energy back up. Below are tips to help you reignite your energy and give you a boost, so you can keep doing what you love and then some.

1. Eat 5 small meals and include plenty of protein.
2. Do 5 minutes of exercise, 5 different exercises and cycle through them once daily.
3. Drink lots of water. Start the day with a big glass of warm lemon water. A 150 lb woman needs 100 oz of water daily.
4. Go to bed and get up around the same time each day with natural light.
5. Have a morning routine...

Forgiveness isn’t an easy topic, especially if you’ve found yourself stuck in a cycle of anger and resentment. 

I had to learn how to forgive people many times in my life, including my daughter’s biological father and exes who hurt me. It’s led to a life full of freedom and zest, where I am no longer weighed down by those negative feelings. 

Here are 5 tips to help you forgive someone who has caused you pain.

1. When finding forgiveness for exes, remember you share experiences that shaped your lives. List some good things from the relationship, think of 'the good Karma break up'. 

2. If you are really angry go to a remote spot and growl, scream, throw sticks, do whatever it takes to let it out.

3. Keep yourself active, work out, do yoga, walk, get up, get dressed, and get out. 

Keep your self-care more important than your self-pity.

4. Don't keep taking the poison of victim hood. It isn't hurting him, it's killing you.
