Scrolling for early pregnancy symptoms to watch out for?
Most women who are trying to conceive get caught in a perpetual loop of trying to fix what might be wrong. Trying to figure out why it hasn’t happened yet.
When you’re focused on fixing, you’re focused on something being wrong. Which might be helpful IF there is in fact something wrong. But otherwise it simply keeps you stuck in the energy of not having what you want.
Try this instead:
Say to yourself “If there’s more I need to do/know about whether I’m pregnant or how to get pregnant asap, it will become apparent. I don’t need to try harder to fix things or know before my body is ready to tell me. I can trust myself to know.”
Grab your journal or a piece of paper and write down 5 things you’re looking forward to about being a mom.
For each, spend a moment identify the FEELING you’ll experience when that thing you’re looking forward to actually happens
Notice where you feel that emotion in your body, what it feels like to experience what you’re looking forward to about motherhood.
Soak in that feeling, and set the intention to return to it when you noice your mind start looping again (eventually it will get easier, I promise).
If your mind jumps in and says “DANGER! Don’t get your hopes up!”, lovingly thank it for trying to protect you from disappointment and see if you can allow the possibility.
Your future results depend on your current thoughts and feelings. By choosing to participate in the thoughts and feelings you’re going for, you connect yourself to those results.
If you try this, let me know in the comments how it goes. No judgment, just love and compassion. It takes practice, but you are worth it.
