Hello lovelies. I don't know about you but with the hormones, stress, and lack of sleep, I have been feeling completely brain dead and unable to focus. I know the tools I need to use to feel positive, but it's hard to remember them unless I have a physical list I can read. To that end, I found a list of affirmations and thought I would post them here. If I start to feel anxious or stressed, and I just take deep breaths and repeat as many of these as I need to start feeling more calm. I hope they help you too!
My body is an ally.
I trust and I love myself.
I accept the gift of life within myself.
I willingly release old thinking patterns based on fear and self-doubt.
I allow new ones based on love and self-confidence.
I now choose positive thoughts that nurture and support my life.
I accept the responsibilities of motherhood and I know I will rise to the occasion when the time comes.
I release fears about age and time.
I set my worries aside and I allow my body to do its job.
I surrender to the power of nature as I celebrate a new cycle of birth within myself.
I now release all emotional blocks that prevent me from conceiving a baby.
I now release all unwanted built-up emotional patterns that prevent me from connecting to my inner self.
I am now becoming more and more confident about my ability to become a mother.
I now release all my fears and concerns about infertility and I declare myself fertile.
As my sadness lifts away a renewed sense of hope settles in my heart.
I express my feeling and I share them with my partner.
