Free Download: Your Ultimate IVF Checklist
When struggling to get pregnant or navigating fertility treatments, such as IVF – the beginning of the new year can trigger mixed feelings. You may be disappointed that the plans you had for getting pregnant or starting a family didn’t turn out how you had hoped. If you started trying in January you may have hoped you would be holding your baby right now, but instead you are still in treatment or trying to conceive.
Maybe you view the new year as a fresh start, with loads of new possibilies on the horizon and opporunities to finally create the family you have been dreaming of.
You have more power to control this than you think. A great place to start is committing to a practice of positive affirmations and self-talk. These exercises are an easy and effective tool to manifest positive outcomes in the coming months and the long term future.
Start by choosing 2 or 3 positive statements that speak to you – see the list below for inspiration – and write them down, then place them somewhere you will see them every day. Say them out loud at least twice a day. Change the affirmations every few weeks for a fresh message. See how you feel after some time of repeating this practice. Do you have more confidence? Do you feel a shift in your self-talk?
It may feel awkward at first but don’t give up. The practice will start to feel more natural with consistancy and you will begin to see the benefits.
Positive affirmations along with other mindset exercises can be effective tools to use while navigating your fertility path and adjusting to the challenges you may face.
Below find 30 positive statements to inspire you in the start of this new year and throughout your journey.
