Ladies of Hive Contest #155/I woman, my experience. [ENG-ESP]

My publication could generate, perhaps, some kind of controversy, but it would not be the first time, it is a subject where I have well-formed criteria.

This is my posting for one of the topics proposed by the Ladies of Hives community in their contest number 155, for which I have selected the first option which reads:

1️⃣Las women have multiple phases in our lives where we go through hormonal imbalances, such as monthly menstruation, pregnancy or menopause. Not only our physical health but also our mental health is affected. Share with us, how do you take care of yourself in these delicate moments and take care of your physical and mental health?


I am convinced that women have the most important responsibilities in life. I am not complaining. I am happy to be a woman. I value motherhood and I think highly of it.

The responsibility for the formation of human beings, their care from birth and their accompaniment in the different stages that they have to go through, has fallen on us to a greater extent. Then we let them be, confident in the quality of the work done in their education, but we are still a support and we are there ready for the comforting embrace.

I feel that hormones have unjustifiably assumed the major responsibility for our behaviors. If we cry, get sad, or obfuscate our hormonal system is blamed.

I believe that these beliefs have been generalized and labels have been created to obviate what is really important: the weight of the responsibilities that fall irremediably on every woman, the judgments and criticisms that she has to face throughout her life.

When I cried, complained, argued and defended my rights, it was not a hormonal problem, it was my reaction to the conviction of not being happy for leading a life and maintaining an imposture that is difficult to bear.

When I was able to assume myself as an intelligent woman, get divorced and stop living with masks, to satisfy the demands of a society, my situation changed and I began my process in search of happiness.

Menopause did not set guidelines in my life because I do not believe in it either. I live every day knowing my emotions, I know that it is these, well or badly channeled, that heal or provoke illnesses.

I was sicker in my thirties than in my sixties. I feel satisfaction in the way I retraced my path. I believe in forgiveness and gratitude as two important forces in the search for harmony and emotional balance.

Being thankful every day for my children, my grandchildren, my abilities, my life, my memories, my vision of hope, among others, gives me the tools to take care of myself physically and emotionally.

Thank you for your kind reading.

Mi publicación podría generar, quizá, algún tipo de controversia, pero no sería la primera vez, es un tema donde tengo criterios bien formados.

Esta es mi publicación para uno de los temas que propone la comunidad de Ladies of Hives en su concurso número 155, para el cual he seleccionado la primera opción que dice:

1️⃣Las mujeres tenemos múltiples fases en nuestra vida en las que pasamos por desequilibrios hormonales, como la menstruación mensual, el embarazo o la menopausia. No sólo nuestra salud física sino también la mental se ven afectadas. Comparte con nosotros, ¿cómo te cuidas en estos momentos tan delicados y cuidas tu salud física y mental?


Estoy convencida de que sobre la mujer recaen las responsabilidades más importantes de la vida. No me quejo. Estoy feliz de ser mujer. Valoro la maternidad y tengo acerca de ella un alto concepto.

Sobre nosotras ha recaído en mayor medida la responsabilidad de la formación del ser humano, su cuidado desde que nace y su acompañamiento en las diferentes etapas que les toca cubrir. Luego les dejamos ser, confiadas en la calidad del trabajo realizado en su educación, pero seguimos siendo un apoyo y estamos allí dispuestas al reconfortante abrazo.

Siento que las hormonas han asumido injustificadamente la mayor responsabilidad de nuestros comportamientos. Si lloramos, nos entristecemos, o nos ofuscamos se culpa a nuestro sistema hormonal.

Creo que estas creencias se han generalizado y creado etiquetas para obviar lo realmente importante: el peso de las responsabilidades, que caen irremediablemente, sobre cada mujer, los juicios y críticas que le toca enfrentar en toda su vida.

Cuando lloré, me quejé, discutí y defendí mis derechos no era un problema hormonal, era mi reacción a la convicción de no ser feliz por llevar una vida y mantener una impostura difícil de aguantar.

Cuando pude asumirme como mujer inteligente, divorciarme y dejar de vivir con máscaras, para satisfacer las exigencias de una sociedad, mi situación cambió y comencé mi proceso en busca de la felicidad.

La menopausia no marcó pautas en mi vida porque tampoco creo en ella. Vivo cada día conociendo mis emociones, sé que son estas, bien o mal canalizadas, las que sanan o provocan enfermedades.

Estuve más enferma a los treinta años que a los sesenta. Siento satisfacción por la manera como desandé mi camino. Creo en el perdón y el agradecimiento como dos fuerzas importantes para buscar la armonía y el equilibrio emocional.

Agradecer cada día por mis hijos, mis nietos, mis habilidades, mi vida, mis recuerdos, mi visión de esperanza, entre otras, me da las herramientas para cuidarme física y emocionalmente.

Gracias por tu amable lectura.

It's wonderful that your hormones do not control your mind. It's very true that we can control these emotions and do not always need to get carried away in them. Personally for me it's the same, I have been in complete control of my emotions. What I find challenging is managing the body sometimes. When I was younger I could easily lose weight, but as I am nearing my 50s even 1/2 a kg feels like a challenge.

These are very difficult controls that require willpower, discipline, knowledge of what each food contributes and it is not easy. I have controlled my weight by force, due to the economic situation of my country, and nevertheless, there is an unhealthy daily intake of flour, but...

Best regards. Thank you for your comment.

Wow, your words are so powerful and insightful. It's clear that you've journeyed through life with a lot of thoughtfulness and courage.

You're right, society often puts a lot of pressure on women, and it can be easy to lose ourselves in trying to meet those expectations. But it's so important to stay true to who we are and to stand up for our rights and happiness.

I love your perspective on menopause and aging. It's refreshing to hear someone view these as natural parts of life, rather than problems to be solved. And your focus on emotional health and self-awareness is so important.

Your journey towards self-acceptance and happiness is truly inspiring. It's a reminder that it's never too late to make changes and to start living a life that feels true to who we are.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences. It's always a pleasure to learn from someone who's walked the path and come out stronger on the other side. 😊❤️

I am grateful for your look and your reading of my words. It is a road that we must travel very attentive to not lose ourselves in that journey.

Kind regards.

Absolutely, life is indeed a journey, and staying attentive and mindful is key to not losing ourselves along the way. It's like being on a long road trip, isn't it? You need to keep your eyes on the road, but also take time to enjoy the scenery. 👀

Take care and have a wonderful day!🤗
