This week we discuss the importance of self care when dealing with difficult trials such as infertility. Not only is there a physical aspect to the ups and downs of trying to conceive but the mental stress and turmoil is also ever present. We each highlight the different ways we have personally struggled with not implementing great self care as well as sharing things that have helped us to show ourselves some love while going through these challenges. Mindfulness, therapy, exercise and talking things through with someone you trust are some of the techniques we have found helpful in our experiences. Let’s not forget retail therapy! Ultimately, self care is not selfish and there is more that defines us than our infertility even if at times we forget this important truth. We share some thoughts from a wonderful book in this episode and highly recommend it for anyone searching for some useful tools while dealing with infertility: Conquering Infertility by Alice Domar
