6 Ways to Stay Positive on Your Journey to Motherhood

Trying to conceive is an emotional rollercoaster.

We know first hand that the journey to motherhood is full of excitement, hope, despair, grief, sorrow, anticipation, and joy.

It's important to stay positive throughout this process, as a positive mindset has such a significant impact on your overall well-being and fertility.

Let’s explore the top 6 ways to stay positive while trying to conceive, helping you navigate this journey with optimism and resilience.

1. Educate Yourself:

Knowledge is power, and understanding the intricacies of conception can help you feel more in control of the process. Take the time to educate yourself about fertility, ovulation, and the best times to try for a baby. This knowledge will not only empower you but also give you a sense of direction and purpose.

2. Practice Self-Care:

Taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is crucial during this time. Engage in activities that bring you joy and help you relax. Whether it's going for a walk in nature, practicing yoga, meditation, or indulging in a hobby, make self-care a priority. Remember, a happy and healthy you is much more likely to conceive.

3. Build a Support System:

Surround yourself with a strong support system of friends, family, and online communities who understand and empathize with your journey. Share your thoughts, fears, and hopes with them. Having someone to lean on during the ups and downs can make a world of difference in staying positive.

4. Focus on the Present:

It's easy to get caught up in the future and the desire to conceive quickly. However, constantly worrying about the outcome will lead to stress and anxiety, which will negatively impact fertility. Instead, focus on the present moment and enjoy the journey. Embrace the intimacy with your partner, cherish the love you share, and savour the process of trying to conceive. Bring some FUN back into the process!

5. Celebrate Small Victories:

While the ultimate goal is to conceive, it's important to celebrate the small victories along the way. Did you have a regular menstrual cycle? Did you notice any changes in your body? These small signs can be encouraging and remind you that progress is being made. Acknowledge and celebrate these milestones, no matter how small they may seem.

6. Express Gratitude

By bringing in the energy of gratitude for the things/people you already have in your life, it will help bring in even more experiences in your life that you will feel grateful for. Try to start writing out at least 10 things every morning that you are grateful for. (Fact: It’s impossible to experience negative feelings while feeling thankful/appreciative/grateful!)

Staying positive while trying to conceive is essential for your emotional well-being and overall fertility. By educating yourself, practicing self-care, building a support system, focusing on the present, and celebrating small victories, you can navigate this journey with optimism and resilience. Remember, you are not alone, and with the right mindset, you can increase your chances of conceiving and ultimately welcome a beautiful baby into your life. Stay positive, and may your journey to parenthood be filled with joy and love.
