It might seem that menopause is an exclusively female thing and that men don’t have to worry about it. Surely at a biological level it is true that women undergo more intense changes than us, but I think menopause does not affect solely at a physiological level. It also has a psychological and sociological component that men should consider.
Emotions are great messengers. They have a meaning in themselves, none of them appear in your life just because.
If you learn to recognize and express your emotions, you will develop a much kinder vision of life and, as a consequence, you will better tolerate stress and loss of control in the face of changes. In turn, it will be much easier for you to understand the emotions of those around you and respect their times.
Flowers are magical. A gift from mother nature. Many with vibrant colors, others in soft shades and, all with their own aromatic scents. All of us beings are, like flowers, with a shared growth and blooming cycle.
Picture this, because we have all been there! Walking down the street on a normal beautiful afternoon and all of a sudden you trip on something; all hell breaks loose, and you end up rushing three to five steps forward. You gather your posture and look back to check what happened, and then you resume your walk as if nothing happened, perhaps a little more attentive (or not!) to the street. That was a display of physical resilience, and we all want that but, today let’s talk about mental and emotional resilience.

Beyond “technicalities”, we can say that self-esteem is trusting and believing in myself, and in my potential. I respect myself, and feel and find myself worthy and worthy of happiness.
