Menopause can feel like your body suddenly switched directors and hired someone far more dramatic. One minute you’re fine, the next you’re sweating like you’re in a Bikram studio (and you’re absolutely not), forgetting where you put your glasses (they’re on your head), or feeling emotions that swing harder than a teenager’s mood on Wi-Fi outage day.

If you’re somewhere in the wild rollercoaster known as menopause, you probably already know your body loves surprises. One day you’re fine, the next you’re sweating like you’re in hell, snapping at anyone who breathes too loud, and wondering why everything suddenly is stiff and aches.

You are now at a crossroad. Who am I and what do I want to be. I believe in the K.I.S.S. ( Keep it simple sweetheart) principle, which I have personally failed at often in my life. List the 20 most important goals in your life. Pick out the top 5 items on your list and focus on them. Make them your top priority. Brainstorm how you are going to accomplish those goals. Don't be surprised, if what were once you top goals, have changed over time. I started with the end result and worked backward. My brain is wired weird and I have come to accept this. Remember, this is your life, time and freedom to spend any way you choose.  Nike had it right, "Just do it."
