Speaking of peri-menopause...well, I wasn't directly, but I mentioned it in my last post and anyone who is in it knows it is basically the root of all the evil in the world ; ), so speaking of...
One of the most unpredictable and special features of peri can be mood swings. Up one minute, and inexplicably down the next, with a general feeling of hopelessness and anxiety just hanging out for the party. For many, sudden bursts of anger get thrown in there too, but luckily not me...yet?!?
I am by nature usually a pretty positive upbeat person, always ready to laugh, often at myself and for good reason, but oh my goshness, lately, I've been the queen of blue. For example, just this morning, I've swung form blah whatever, to tears, to happy happy, joy joy, I'm in overdrive. It is exhausting just keeping up with my moods. Anyone else experience this ride?
So what do I do about it? Sometimes nothing, just ride it out if it is not extreme, but today, measures needed to be taken. There's a hint here somewhere.
Yep, essential oils to the rescue, but not the one named Joy, strangely enough. Like being unpredictable is a new thing for me? I used RC, Purification and a mix of lemon, clove, ginger, peppermint and orange. All guaranteed to lift your spirits and clear your breathing while they're at it. As always, with essential oils, use the one that you are drawn to at any given time, as that is most likely the one to which your body will respond.
Oils are wonderful, magical essences without which life would be much less calm. Sigh!! Get some and experience the bliss for yourself. You'll thank me, I promise. Yes, really. : )
Enjoy!
