It’s Sharon from the Attain Customer Care wishing all our friends a happy, healthy and promising Chinese New Year.
The emotions from infertility can drag us down and around, so let’s find some ways to remain balanced, focused and hopeful. Here are some suggestions given by our wonderful callers that we can keep tucked away in our mental tote/satchel/hobo bag and use when needed.
Talk, chat, speak, converse; you get the message. Seek the support of someone you feel comfortable sharing your feelings with to be your “shoulder” during the bumps in the infertility road. Always, always remember you are loved even when those closest to you have a difficult time providing the support you need.
It’s okay to be choosy. Not everyone and every situation is going to work for you and that’s okay. You can decide and choose who to be around, what gatherings work for you and so on. Listen to your intuition. You may have to distance yourself from the people who don’t have the where-with-all to handle changing emotions or the parties where the kids out number the adults. Keep the balance you need to stay focused.
Fun, laugh, fun. Yes! Go to the latest comedy movie and share some popcorn with milk duds or stay home, turn on the TV and watch reruns. (You know laughter releases endorphins which help to decrease the stress hormones in our bodies).
Please hold on to your dreams for parenthood. We hope that the Year of the Dragon will be your year.
Until next time, all my best.
