Happy New Year – 2020

Posted in New Year Resolutions, Uncategorized by HappyMonth

The start of a new year is an opportunity to reflect, adjust and improve on any areas in your life, that you wish to enhance or change.

For me, this year is about revisiting the tools and techniques that I have gained over the years for PMS.

The reason for this is that lately, I have let my daily PMS practices slip, causing a really bad month of PMS for me!

Now, you would think that someone who writes a blog on “how to handle PMS” would know better, but we are all human, we all have times in our lives when we get so busy, we forget the things that really matter most.

The most important thing now is how I respond to the above realisation, do I let myself wallow or procrastinate? Or, do I hold myself accountable, reset, plan and make positive action?

Of course it’s that latter, otherwise I might as well delete this blog 🙂

So I just wanted to say, that it’s OK to have a bad month, it’s OK to not always be okay, it’s OK to slip up…. Just do your best!

So Happy New Year from me!

I look forward in helping many more of you deal with your symptoms and sharing my journey along the way…

The Most Important Word for PMS Reduction

Posted in PMS, PMS Symptoms by HappyMonth

This is simple, “Transparency”

Transparency implies Openness, Communication, and Accountability.

If you are open, then you will no longer have to hide your symptoms.

If you communicate, then you will provide people with a much needed understanding of why you are not as relaxed / happy / energised, as normal.

If you are accountable, then you accept that it is your decision if you do not tell people, if you do nothing during the month to ease your symptoms e.g. exercise, diet choices, meditation.

… and you accept that by doing nothing, you are actually deciding to have that same argument again with your loved ones!

By doing nothing, nothing will change …

So what could you do this month?

The Holistic Approach for PMS

Posted in Wellbeing by HappyMonth

After a number of years of lived experience and research on the topic of PMS. I now firmly believe that we do not just have PMS for no reason, I believe that it is due to some kind of turbulence found in one or more of the life areas listed below:

These areas above can be described simply as:

Now = The present moment

Your Future = Our expectations, goals, dreams

Your Beliefs = Your core values and principles

Your Past = Your history and experiences

Each area above plays a vital role in your emotional state.

If you experience stress, negativity, unhappiness in one or more of these areas then your body will need to express this, due to the build up of stored emotions, meaning that if you are prone to PMS, then this is where it will show up, with potentially severe symptoms.

If you are not a sufferer of PMS then you may experience the build up in another way, for example back pain, frequent colds etc.

So, if you . .

Do not like your job, your situation at home (Now)
Have no direction in life, no ambition, no focus (Your Future)
Have a loved one who is not respecting one of your core values (Your Beliefs)
Have experienced a traumatic event that is still unresolved / unprocessed (Your Past)

Then you will have some kind of physical and/or mental symptom because of this.

What does this mean?

It means that to resolve PMS you need to take a holistic approach.

PMS is not the problem, PMS is trying to communicate to you that there is a disturbance in your life that needs to be resolved and it is likely to be found in one or more of the areas listed above.

By using this approach I have managed to reduce my own severe symptoms to a level where they are now hardly even evident!

So forget about PMS, instead shift your focus to the study and research of your own happiness, this in turn will lead you to the path of recovery and rejuvenation!

Happy Month 🙂
