Our brains have been conditioned to grasp and cling. This conditioning, which we believe protects and helps us, actually limits our ability to live life fully. Now apply that metaphor to “our brain on infertility.” It’s the idea of a baby that we are grasping. And it’s understandable – having a baby is a primal urge. We clench with all our might around the idea that we want a baby and that we cannot be happy until we have one.

Meditation is a powerful technique for learning how to “unclench” the mind and find happiness that is not dependent on anything outside ourself. I encourage you to learn more about meditation and make it a part of your self-care practice today.
