My Menopause Blog: Get Naked

Yesterday's post was intended to (un)cover a hot flash strategy, should you find yourself publicly melting and needing relief. It's a funny human trait that I've noticed...reluctance to take off our clothes. Instead, we suffer through, maybe roll up our sleeves or loosen a neck line. But striping down? Rarely seen that in any situation.

Which of course makes no sense. When your hot, you're hot. It's perfectly okay to do something as practical as remove a few layers of warmth producing clothing.

At home, depending on your comfort level and situation, you may want to let it all hang out, take it ALL off, bounce around in your Birthday suit.

Being naked is one of the best ways to cool off. Your skin, ever last pore of it, gets to breath. And you get to spend some time getting to know this body which you are, but likely ignore or even worse hate.
