Affirmations to Use During Infertility
Infertility can be a consuming journey in many facets of life - physically, emotionally, financially, relationally, sexually, nutrition & diet, spiritually, in decision making for the future, and in our worldview. Many people experiencing infertility feel overwhelmed by how powerless the conception journey feels. One powerful way to reclaim your power and choice during infertility is to choose how you talk to yourself. This is not merely toxic positivity, infertility is a hard road, but it’s intentionally using affirmations to reframe how we talk about ourselves and our situation. Research has shown the effectiveness of utilizing future focused affirmations to help rebuild self-confidence, self-trust, and resilience to move through tough seasons, plus affirmations are a mood booster for the moment!
Here are some affirmations you can use and adapt along your infertility journey.
