Breathe in Joy: Your Essential Holiday Stress-Busting Technique — SOPHIE SANDERS

The holidays are supposed to be relaxing and fun, but they can also be very stressful because we put too much pressure on ourselves from social media which can makes us do unhealthy comparisons, or from peer and/or family pressure, travel, a feeling of lack may come up; and 

If you are struggling with infertility this holiday – I see you!!

It might yet be another holiday without a baby in your arms and having to face well-meaning friends/families.

I’m sorry.

I want you to know that I understand what it feels like to be around families with kids or hanging with friends who are pregnant. I know you are happy for them and at the same time I know you feel hurt and sad inside.

There are people who won’t understand what you are going through and there are people who have walked this path.

I’m one of them.

This holiday remember that you are loved. And you are safe. And all is well.

If you are struggling with infertility this holiday –  be gentle with yourself. Give yourself permission for self care. Set boundaries. You can say no.

And for those challenging moments when you feel overwhelmed – slow down and reconnect with your breath. When you do this, you can release stuck feelings and shift your energy for a better vibration in that moment.

Your breath is the most powerful tool that is available 24/7 and there whenever you need it. It’s non-judgemental and all-knowing. So make use of it, because you do have the power to step away and take a few breaths.

Trust me, it works because I use it to release my anxiety or in moments when I feel Im over-controlling, and it works every time.

If you are struggling with infertility this holiday – be patient and know you can choose to bring in a lot of peace, a lot of joy and a lot of breath in your space.
