THE ACHING MISERIES (CONGESTIVE DYSMENORRHOEA): LACK OF BALANCE, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL-DANGEROUS DRIVING


Few of us who drive stop to think what sort of state we are in before we get behind the wheel. Yet driving demands intense concentration and very quick reactions and these are just the qualities that will be most impaired by being off-balance. So let someone else drive if you can, or make your excursion at a later date. But if that’s not possible and you have to drive because you have absolutely no option, make a point of driving more slowly than you normally would. And whenever you stop at traffic lights or junctions, check that you are as relaxed as you can be. Drop those shoulders, relax your feet, don’t grip the wheel so hard and smooth out the wrinkles in your face. It might intrigue the man in the car alongside you, but it won’t hurt him and it could do you a lot of good. Try to take a break every fifty miles or so and have a rest and something to eat and drink. In fact, treat yourself and your car with great care and caution. And remember the golden rule of the road. When in doubt, don’t! This applies particularly to drinking. At any time of the month it’s stupid to drink and drive and we all know that. But just before a period would be the very worst time to run such a risk, because it takes far less alcohol then to make you drunk. And on top of that, your judgement isn’t all that it should be so you might not recognize the warning signals that drink is beginning to affect you until it’s dangerously too late.

Whatever you are doing, practise relaxation as frequently as you can; it is doubly helpful to women who are off-balance. Firstly it will allow your-body to produce the hormones it really needs to get you back on form again. And secondly it can give you the physical means to slow yourself down when you’re rushing and you know it’s dangerous. It really does help if you can do the more hazardous and tricky jobs more slowly than you normally would. Of course, it’s better still if you can hand them over to someone else. But for most of us life doesn’t provide help like this and we have to get on with things as well as we can. So if there’s no one else around, remember to relax and breathe in a lower gear so as to slow yourself up, then take plenty of time over what you’re doing.
