What can we do to raise our chances of being parents? What solutions are inside of me?
Let go of other's expectations
Be as healthy as possible
Make room for new possibilities
Let go of fear, guilt, anxiety
Walking (a moving meditation)
Stretching slowly
Clearing out what I don’t need and what isn’t serving me
Reading for pleasure
Reading for knowledge
Listening to music
Finding activities that I take pleasure in
Photo walks
Eating outside with friends
Staycations
Painting
Playing with Gaidin
Making work and lifestyle changes
Connecting with friends and loved ones
Meditating
Eating well
Moving at the pleasure of my soul
Allowing time for reflection
Art dates
Date nights
The Artist’s Way with Mike
Getting more sun
Comedies or funny TV shows
Wild adventures
Inspiring documentaries
Going to the movies
Not taking myself too seriously
Celebrate the big and the small
Be grateful for my amazing family and friends
Be grateful for past, present and future opportunities
Love and accept myself
Maybe this is where I’m supposed to be. Maybe I’ll break, but I’ve got a list of tools to get me through it. All of these tools and invitations serve me and will make me stronger and are within my values.
I can’t wish for things to be any other way, than the way they are. I can only focus on what I CAN do given the circumstances.
One day I’ll be holding my baby in my arms, laughing at everything we went through and all the doubts. It will all feel worth it.
I don’t want to regret not living the best, most amazing life I possibly can.
