Did you know your thoughts create your beliefs and your reality?
If this is true, what if you constantly think: I will never get pregnant and don’t deserve to be a Mom, this cycle won’t work, I will never have a family, I am not strong enough to go through IVF. The list can go on and on. Although it is human nature to have these feelings and thoughts accompanying infertility (and many others), we need to be aware of their frequency and density. If we constantly think them repeatedly, we may start to believe them. And if we begin to believe them, it will make it harder for us to pick up and start again after a failed cycle. It will make it harder for us to take the next step when we are ready to explore different options because we fear they won’t work. It will make it harder to live in the moment as if our lives matter now, without kids. So, try asking yourself these questions: What if you deserve to be a Mom? What if this cycle DOES work? What if your future is made of your perfect family, all in good time? What if you are strong enough?
Take whatever negative thought you have around your fertility and turn it around. For example, if you fear this cycle will not work, instead say to yourself: “My body is fertile and ready to make a baby. My baby will come at the perfect time.” Say it over and over to yourself every day. Write it on a post-it and put it on your mirror so you see it every day. Write it down in your journal every night. If our thoughts become our beliefs and create our reality, then why not control your thoughts to create the reality of your dreams. Why not choose to believe? It may take longer than you anticipated and be harder than you ever imagined, both physically and mentally, but if you believe it, maybe it can happen? Maybe you can be that success story passed around by the friend-of-a-friend who had her miracle baby. It won’t be easy, but you can turn those negative thoughts around. Set a daily intention and practice to apply positive affirmations to your fertility wellness. This alone will not bring you your baby, but each positive intention and step we take on our fertility journey only gets us closer. You deserve to find resolve in your fertility journey. You deserve to be the Mom you are meant to be and have the family of your dreams. Are you ready to start to believe it?
