Have you ever found that it’s so easy to take care of other people, but super hard to take care of yourself? Well don’t be because it’s pretty common. I think that society has taught us that self-care is considered selfish. It’s selfish to think about yourself when there are others that are struggling.
THIS IS FALSE.
Have you ever flown on an airplane? What do the flight attendants tell you about the face mask? Put it on yourself before you help other passengers.
Self-care is especially important when going through infertility and the treatments that come with it. Infertility is stressful, emotional, and draining in all aspects. It is CRUCIAL that you practice self-care during this phase of your life. For me, self-care means doing things that bring my soul happiness and peace. I have put together a list of the things I do to practice self-care.
- Listen to show tunes ALL THE WAY UP
- Take long baths
- Practice Yoga
- Binge Watch FRIENDS or Supernatural (or both)
- Blog
- Meditate
- Go to the beach
- Put on a full face of makeup (weird I know, but it seriously makes me happy)
- Bake
- Drink a glass of wine on the porch with my super hot husband
- Read a book in bed
