I donāt know who else needs to hear this, but every night I tell myself: āGirl, take that magnesium before bed.ā And somehow, I still forget. š
Like, how am I out here running businesses, creating art, coaching folks on soft life living⦠yet I canāt remember one little supplement that actually makes my life easier? Itās giving ādo as I say, not as I do.ā š
Now that Iām 47, my body clock said āWelcome to the Hormone Rollercoaster please keep your arms and legs inside at all times.ā š Hot flashes, mood swings, sleepless nights itās like my body developed a whole new sense of humor.
The good news? Iāve got a partner whoās supportive and nurturing through all of this. The bad news? I canāt rely on him to be my alarm clock. Self-care is my responsibility, and if I donāt prioritize it, nobody else can do it for me.
Why Magnesium Is My New Bedtime Bestie
Magnesium isnāt just another supplement collecting dust in the cabinet. This is the real MVP when it comes to:
⨠Relaxing sore muscles and easing headaches
⨠Calming a busy mind before bed
⨠Supporting hormone balance and mood
⨠Helping you actually stay asleep through the night
Iāve tried both supplements and topical magnesium cream after a hot bath, and let me tell you⦠itās a game changer. The kind of sleep where you wake up and forget what year it is. š
Setting Myself Up for Success (Because Memory Isnāt What It Used to Be)
Since I use my phone for everythingāwork, scrolling, posting, checking in on yāallāI had to get serious about reminders. No more telling myself āIāll remember later.ā Girl, no you wonāt.
Now I set notifications that say exactly what I need to do:
āTake Magnesium NOW, sis šā
āRun that bath + rub down with cream šāØā
āClose the laptop, itās sleep prep time š¤ā
That way, I stop treating self-care like an option. It becomes non-negotiable, just like brushing my teeth.
Middle Age, Living La Vida Soft Life šø
Pre-menopause doesnāt mean we have to suffer in silence. We can be navigating hot flashes and still glowing. But it only works when we consistently choose to care for ourselves.
Supplements, baths, and sleep rituals arenāt luxuries theyāre survival tools. And the sooner we treat them like the baseline of our routine, the smoother this hormonal rollercoaster feels.
If youāre nodding along right now like, āOMG, same,ā let me help you out. Iām dropping the link to my favorite magnesium complex and sleep time routine below šš¾.
Trust me your future self (and your partner, if they likes you well-rested and less moody š ) will thank you.
Because nothing and I mean NOTHING feels more luxurious than waking up fully rested, balanced, and ready to slay another day. Period.
šNOW hereās your Call to Action:
⨠Try the magnesium complex or sleep aids Iāve linked below
⨠Set your phone reminders tonight
⨠Stop letting self-care slide down your to-do list
Sis⦠sleep is sexy, health is wealth, and we aināt got time to be out here exhausted when we could be glowing and going.
