Ameenah Thobani, a clinical hypnotherapist, shares her journey through perimenopause, beginning in her early 40s. She faced severe symptoms, including emotional struggles and fatigue, compounded by negative self-talk. Reflecting on her father's decline due to similar patterns of thinking, Ameenah decided to change her mindset. In 2022, she began practicing gratitude for her body, learning to appreciate her health rather than focusing on perceived flaws. Her story underscores the power of positive affirmations in navigating life's transitions and cultivating self-acceptance.
