Expanding your full health consciousness
I really thought that by the time I was going to be writing this post today that I would have some great personal news to excitedly share. And yet another month goes by where Iβm convinced that Iβve done everything possible to become pregnant and sure enough I discover that Iβm not. This month felt so different though. I decided to make some major shifts in my self-care, gave up having a glass or two of wine, honored each phase of my cycle more consciously than before, eliminated excess herbs and replaced them with prenatal formulas. I felt pregnant, I looked up potential due dates, and started crafting my summer plans accordingly. This might feel a bit preemptive, but I felt that different that I took every little sign as seriously as I could. As you can imagine, itβs a bit heartbreaking to get reminded once again that your bodyβs signaling was off. Or maybe I was just so convinced that I was doing everything right that I created a fun narrative in my mind that when you follow a specific formula, you can get the expected end result. Thatβs when it hit me. I have spent my entire career educating clients that itβs not that simple, yet I still couldnβt really comprehend it for my own ability to conceive. The parallel inspired me to share my story so it can hopefully inspire you when it seems like youβve done everything for your skin but the result is still not what you expected.
