Perhaps you have noticed that your body responds differently than it did ten or twenty years ago. Your weight may change more easily and become more difficult to lose. Your energy may feel unpredictable, sleep may become lighter or less restorative, and hormonal changes may affect your mood, concentration, digestion, skin, hair, confidence, and overall sense of well-being.
You may be doing many of the same things you once did, yet receiving completely different results. This can leave you feeling frustrated, confused, and disconnected from a body you thought you understood.
You may begin criticizing yourself for not having enough discipline or comparing your current body to the woman you were years ago. You may feel pressured to fight aging, hide every change, or force your body to meet expectations that no longer reflect what it needs.
The more frustrated you become, the easier it is to treat your body like a problem that must be corrected. Your body is communicating that it has entered a new stage of life and needs a different kind of support.
