Why it’s important to  Cultivate Inner Peace on your IVF journey

I never thought that I would need to strengthen my “inner peace” muscle, while navigating the IVF journey! I think I take it for granted, but there is so many noise in your head, creating a permanent space for peace and quiet in my inner world is very much needed.

This blog post is about why it's important to cultivate inner peace, why it became something that I yearn for throughout my IVF journey. If you read till the end, I'll share a mantra that has been helpful towards getting me closer to peacefulness in my heart.

I Want To Hate Chrissy Teigen -But I Can’t

Dealing with pregnancy announcements is hard especially if you are struggling with infertility.

Like most IVF warriors, in the beginning of my IVF journey, I got triggered by pregnant women in my condo, hearing pregnancy news, and seeing babies in the prams in the park. That was like 5 years ago. And I found my own way to successfully deal with them.

And so it was surprising when I got triggered by Chrissy Teigen’s 4th baby news.  I’m deeply in inquiry because I've not been triggered in a while, not even when an IVF sister had her 3rd child recently through IVF, nor when my sister had my beautiful niece, or when I arrived at my sister's house for my nephew's birthday, and found the house overrun by horde of small kids.

In today’s post, I’ll share a prayer that was helpful in dealing with Chrissy’s baby news. And why forgiveness is the key to releasing judgement and living a peaceful and kinder life.
