Last year, Maria wrote a poem about menopause as an apology to her mum from her 13 year old self. “Having no awareness of the menopause back then, I used to tell my mum to ‘cheer up and put a patch on’. Years later, here I am with a three year old son and I truly hope that by the time he reaches that age he has more of an idea than I did.”

Box breathing is a deep breathing technique that can help you find calm and focus, essential to helping you through your menopause journey. It slows down your breathing by distracting your mind as you count to four, calming your nervous system and decreasing stress in your body.

It’s essentially:
Breathe in for 4
Hold for 4
Breathe out for 4
Hold for 4

Save our helpful video to help you find a sense of calm when you feel overwhelmed, stressed or anxious. Many also find it helpful to set up a daily reminder to help you relax before bed and ensure you find a minute to focus on you.

Your donations help us provide trusted information and support, including self-care tools like this.
Please consider a donation, and thanks to @biggiveorg every £1 gifted this week will be matched (link in bio)
