Women don't have time left for themselves because we give so much to others.
Life is about pleasure, relationship, beauty, joy – we only have so many minutes on earth & we need to remind ourselves of the ways we can experience that joy in our busy lives.ow.ly/HhHh50J0tsu

We live in a world where we are constantly being pulled in a million different directions with an endless list of to-dos. If you're waiting for some external situation to arrive before you prioritize yourself, the wait is over! drcatherinehansen.com/post/w…

We "see" you.
You go out into the world each day to do important things.
People need you—colleagues, clients, children, partners, parents.
But YOU need 'you' too.

In a study by @McKinsey women reported feeling more pressure, burned out & exhausted at work. The disproportionate effect on women’s emotional health cannot be understated—studies have shown increased levels of depression & anxiety among women in the US.

I’ve been fascinated by the question, “who am I inside this body?”
Yet, as the years have progressed & I’ve gained life experience, I’ve shifted that question to “what can I DO with this amazing, miraculous female body to bring me bliss?” #womenshealth

Life has been loud lately, drowning out the desires...but somewhere in this precious life is an invitation to reconnect inward, take the hand of our overly responsible, conservative inner self & draw her forward into the raw pleasure of sensual joy... drcatherinehansen.com/post/a…

5. "Lighten your mental load." Chronic stress caused by overwhelming responsibilities is really bad for our brains. For women, this often means juggling careers and households—be honest when there is too much on your plate!
4. Get quality sleep. Our bodies & brains repair & recover while we sleep so quality rest is vital as we age (especially for women who have a harder time falling & staying asleep than men do). I suggest establishing a relaxing bedtime routine and limiting screen time at night.
3. Get moving! "Exercise is 1 of the strongest preventive tools against Alzheimer’s disease for everyone but it seems to be especially important for women: In females < 65 physical activity is associated with a 30% lower risk of Alzheimer’s compared with those who are sedentary"
2. Eat brain-healthy food. Research shows that 50 year old women's brains look 5 years younger if they eat a Mediterranean diet—that means veggies, fish, fruits, nuts, beans, whole grains and foods high in fiber!
1. Menopausal brain fog indicates changes happening in the brain & is an opportunity to take action. While science has been challenging in this area some believe "if hormone therapy is prescribed when women have menopausal symptoms it can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers"
Women's brains are more likely to develop diseases than men—from Alzheimer's, depression & headaches to brain tumors. Dips & surges in estrogen & our brain's ability to respond to stress create the perfect breeding ground for brain #health issues to bloom.

Endurance, strength, balance, & flexibility—
"Research has shown that it’s important to get all four types of exercise: endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. Each one has different benefits."@NIH

"You know those people...who set their alarms for 5:30am so they can run 6mi or do 3 HIIT circuits all before they even sit down at their desks? Do you ever wonder if they’re having...fun?"
I'm part of the 5am club but I usually get my #workout in midday! womenshealthmag.com/fitness/…
This week has been so busy collaborating with my mentor, charting & last night was the 1st group coaching session with our Diamond members!
I am ready to relax tonight & am feeling grateful for our #Friday family tradition of movie & pizza night.
How will you unwind tonight?
