Going through infertility is an extremely personal and emotional journey. Navigating this rollercoaster of emotions deeply impacts the mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing, draining out every bit of positivity. As I sit and reflect about my struggle with infertility, there are so many things I wish I knew sooner. So, I am sharing some of the approaches that helped me embrace this journey with a lot of resilience even when I felt most vulnerable.
One of the most difficult parts about navigating these emotions was handling judgement – from others and often from myself. So many times, well-meaning opinions, unsolicited comments and enquiries from others led to the increase in the emotional burden and left me feeling inadequate. Add to it the battle with the inner critic – constantly judging myself and my body to be falling short in some way!
What really helped was setting boundaries – numerous times I politely declined conversations that would impact me in ways I didn’t want to – it helped me protect my emotional well-being. A lot of internal work and self-compassion helped me manage my inner critic and understand that my worth is not defined by my ability to conceive.
These small changes in the way I responded to others and to myself helped me shift my mindset towards infertility and live my life joyfully by just being present in the moment! 🌼
