My body wants to live – not function

3 things I have learned about my health at the age of 45

Do you know the feeling of constantly having to work even though your body is actually shouting “Stop!”?

For years, I lived in “hang in there” mode. As a self-employed woman with a lot of responsibility and a busy everyday life, I thought it was just part of it: little sleep, constant exhaustion, mood swings, this vague feeling of “being empty”.
I ignored it – for too long.

Looking back, I know that my body wasn’t interfering – it was communicating.

The turning point came at the age of 45.

It wasn’t a loud bang, but lots of little signals that I couldn’t talk away:
▪️ I was tired, even though I had slept enough.
▪️ I felt emotionally unstable.
▪️ My energy levels were in the basement.
▪️ I was functioning like a robot – but I wasn’t really living.

Today I know that this phase was a wake-up call. And I am grateful for it. Because it made me realize three things that I want to share with you:

1. ignoring symptoms is useless

Your body is not your enemy – it is your feedback system.
If something gets out of balance, it sends you little warning signs. If you ignore them, it gets louder. It wants you to pay attention.
Today I ask myself with every symptom:
What is my body trying to tell me right now?

2. health is a relationship – not a number on a lab report

Health begins when you learn to listen to yourself.
What nourishes you? What robs you of energy? How do you talk to yourself?
I have learned to reconnect – with myself, my rhythm, my cycle, my needs.

3. essential oils are not decoration – they are real tools

They used to stand pretty on the shelf.
Today they are part of my daily self-care routine.
Whether for hormones, sleep, energy, mood or skin – the power of plants has become one of the most important tools for me to bring body and soul back into balance.

If you recognize yourself in any of these points, then I would like to tell you:
You are not alone.
And there are ways out of the hamster wheel – gentle, natural, effective.

It always starts with the first step. And sometimes that step is… simply listening.
