One of the major ways I made change was to add yoga to my life. It actually started about 6 years ago, and began before my divorce, but since that time I have made it a part of my lifestyle and I cannot tell you the difference yoga has made to my physical and mental self.
I hope my hysterectomy story will help just one other person who might have to face this life change because it is definitely a life change. Respect your body. Nourish it with real, whole, colorful foods and limit the treats. Move every single day. AND advocate for yourself and your body.
Did I mention I am really independent and often have a difficult time accepting help? Yeah, that is a thing, so it was incredibly humbling for me to have so many people do things for me out of love and kindness.
Needless to say, I spent a copious amount of time trying to think of everything beforehand to help things go as smoothly as possible, including talking to lots of friends and family about their hysterectomy experiences and what tips they had for me.
