Week Three of 25 Days of Small Wins

Midlife can feel like someone shook the snow globe inside your body. Hormones shift, moods change, clarity comes and goes. This week is about supporting the systems that anchor you: strength, balance, brain health and steady blood sugar.

Wrist Strength
Weak wrists show up in everyday life more than you think. In order to help yourself try wall presses, wrist rolls or squeezing a soft ball. It protects joints and helps with long-term independence.

Balance Practice
Stand on one leg for 30 seconds while brushing your teeth. Balance declines quickly when we ignore it, but it improves just as quickly when we train it. Follow along with me here

Brain Train
Do a crossword, read a page, watch a short educational video. Anything that nudges your brain to work a little. Brain fog isn’t a permanent condition. Your brain loves stimulation. Try this right & left brain activation exercise

Hormone Tracking
Write down how your mood, cravings or energy feel today. Not to judge it, but to understand it. Patterns give you power, especially in perimenopause and menopause.

Sugar Check
If you’re craving sweets, your body might be asking for more protein or more balanced meals. Blood sugar swings affect energy, mood and sleep. A tiny tweak helps.

Alcohol Awareness
If wine hits differently, you’re not imagining it. Hormones change how you metabolise alcohol. Try a low or no-alcohol option. Better sleep is a game changer.

Hydration Boost
Aim for 6 to 8 glasses today. Water supports focus, hormones, joint lubrication and mood. Add fruit or herbs if that helps you drink more.

End of Week Three
You’ve supported your brain, hormones and strength. Next week is all about rest, ritual and creating the environment your body can recover in.
