What if we told you your mindset has a lot to do with your fertility? This might be a shocker for some of you! Today’s episode we dive into what a healthy fertility mindset looks like and how that affects your overall fertility journey. You don’t want to miss this episode as we connect the physical aspect of becoming pregnant to the mental side of BELIEVING you CAN become pregnant!
Although we are practitioners helping women bring home a healthy baby, we are still human and have our own doubts. In this episode, we share our own stories about how we struggled internally with the mental olympics of believing we could become pregnant despite our own personal obstacles. First of all - take a step back and tell yourself you ARE a person that can do hard things. You do believe in yourself. You are taking steps to shift your mindset...after all, you are taking ownership of your life and listening to this podcast!
You do not wear a badge that defines your struggles. You do not wear a badge that says “Hi, I’m infertile.” No...you are YOU! Talk to yourself like you’re talking to your best friend. Is the first thing you think about your best friend is “oh...she is infertile..” ..No! It’s likely more along the lines of, “She is strong, beautiful, and she WILL become pregnant.” It’s as simple as that. Begin to speak to yourself in a kind and gentle way. Simple techniques to begin developing this healthy fertility mindset are:
Remember to enjoy and celebrate the small victories along the process. There needs to be JOY in your journey. You can do all of the things - take the courses, have sex, buy the tests, but if you struggle with developing this healthy mindset, don’t hesitate to see a therapist. Your mind is part of your body and it’s just as important to nurture and invest in your mind as it is your body.
