Social media is great for entertainment, and most of us use it as a distraction or maybe a coping mechanism or to find information and inspiration, or get motivation from fellow IVF warriors or all of the above. However it can also bring you down a rabbit hole of negative thoughts.
So if you have to be on social media for whatever reason, no judgement, hope these tips help you care for your mental health s and release the toxic energy from this part of your life.
If you’ve been with me since I started Braving Infertility, I always say that yoga helped me stay calm through all the ups and down of IVF.
My practice gave me a lot of tools that gave me the space to grow and shift my mindset. And one of those tools is balancing effort with ease, which comes from the Yoga Sutra “Sthira Sukham Asanam.”
I was inspired with this week’s post by Gabby Bernstein’s coaching lesson - Release Holiday Stress! And this post is chockful of good vibes - whether or not you are struggling infertility, stressed from family/peer pressure, travel, social media making us do comparisons, a feeling of lack may come up, or you could feel so alone, AND of course, yes it can also be relaxing and fun!!
For the just in case, I share a breathing practise for when you are feeling overwhelmed during the holidays, journaling prompts, and more…………
