LIVING LIGHTLY THROUGH APRIL

Choosing to live life lightly, And how that looked throughout the month of April.

LIVING LIGHTLY OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS

If you read my blog regularly (thank you if you do!) you'll know I chose "Live Lightly" as my Word(s) Of The Year for 2023. I've made a pledge to myself to chill out a little this year and to take things as they come, rather than trying to push too hard or trying to control everything. I hope my year will reflect taking life at a gentler pace and stepping lightly and slowly.

So, on that note, to wrap up April, I'll be sharing a few little highlights that contributed towards a lovely month....

WHAT IS HYPERPARATHYROIDISM AND WHY IS IT A CONCERN?

Are you over 50? Have you had your parathyroid hormone levels checked? A simple blood test could save you from a future osteoporosis diagnosis.

WHAT ON EARTH IS HYPERPARATHYROIDISM?

If you're like me, you've heard of a thyroid gland and know where it is, but you're probably not aware that you have four parathyroid glands, each the size of a grain of rice, that sit behind it. You may also not be aware that one or more of those glands can get a tumour (adenoma) on it that probably isn't cancer, but still has far reaching consequences for your body if left unchecked.

I think I'm becoming one of those people who comment on how quickly the year is passing. It's already April and I feel like Christmas was only a few weeks ago. Now we've just ticked Easter off the calendar and before we know it, we'll be halfway through the year.

WHY DO WE SECOND GUESS OURSELVES?

It's time to stop second guessing ourselves and to give up listening to your inner critic. We're capable of so much more than we know.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SEE OUR STRENGTHS?

I'm 60 years old and I still listen to the little voice in my head that doubts I can do something new. Whenever a new challenge arises I immediately think of all the reasons why it won't work out, or why it would be too difficult, or why I'm not "enough" for it. That little voice has been yapping in my ear all my life, but Midlife has woken me up to its meanness and how it limits me.....I still hear it loud and clear but I'm getting better at having a go anyway.

There's a great little quote from Erin Hanson that says:
