Anxiety, mood swings, nervous tension and being extra emotional are very common during this time, and are also linked to the progressive loss of estrogen. Carrying out regular physical activity can help you. Even just a walk or a nice bike ride can improve your mood thanks to the release of endorphins, the “good mood” substances produced by your brain. Another useful strategy is to learn a relaxation technique or to follow a course of meditation. These help to fight anxiety and tension, promoting a sense of calm, and can also help you to maintain concentration.
