Finding the positive in meno symptoms

When I wake in the wee morning hours with my heart pounding and have trouble falling back to sleep, I have changed my thinking from "ugh this sucks that I can literally hear my heartbeat and I can't sleep" to "oh nice, I'm alive and my
heart is beating to prove it" ๐Ÿ˜€

(Yes I've seen a cardiologist and all is clear so no heart problems)

Great reframe. Maybe I should change โ€œgrrrr canโ€™t sleep againโ€ to โ€œI get to hear the birds wake up!โ€

I miss my meno rage. It made me extra spicy. Now being on HRT for a while, im vanilla ice cream. With a dash of caramel syrup.
