Now, I am no different from you. I, too, have to face many challenges every day. They rattle me and push me to lose my focus. But because I am intentional in my self-care, my high energy and clarity allow me to see that challenges are a big part of my journey. Being healthy, I don’t have to fall into the FEAR trap of failure.

Taking care of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health takes lots of effort, energy and focus.

One way I take care of myself is to prepare snacks to boost my energy level. This particular snack—Protein Bliss Balls—is a staple in our fridge (and on my desk during busy days). They’re delicious and also easy to make. I consider them my little energy boosters when managing hormonal changes brought on by perimenopause can seem like an uphill climb.
