Reset, Recharge, and Rebalance: Prioritising Self-Care for women

As women in midlife, we often juggle multiple roles, from career to family to community. It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and neglect our own needs. But prioritising self-care is essential for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The Power of Rest and Recharge

One of the most important aspects of self-care is taking time to rest and recharge. This means scheduling regular breaks throughout the day, such as short walks or relaxation sessions. It also involves taking longer breaks, like holidays or weekend getaways, to fully disconnect and rejuvenate.

The Gut-Brain Connection: A Key to Well-being

Did you know that your gut health plays a significant role in your overall well-being? The gut-brain axis is a complex network that connects your digestive system to your brain. A healthy gut can improve your mood, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function.

• Sleep: A healthy gut microbiome can improve sleep quality, helping you to feel more rested and energized.

• Emotional Regulation: Gut bacteria produce neurotransmitters that influence your mood and emotions.

• Hormone Balance: Gut health can impact hormone production and regulation, which is especially important for women in midlife.

Reciprocally, as you might expect, taking time to relax has a beneficial effect on your gut. That’s why the upcoming January retreat is combining expertise from the aspects of both brain and gut health, with Marg Bell and Sally Potter.
