The inspiration for this episode came when I was speaking with a couple of friends about the news and how I can't handle watching the news, because it makes me so anxious and sad.  I said something to the effect of sitting in Fear Soup, because literally my brain (and yours!) emits a host of chemicals that signal fear.  And as we continue to think the fear thoughts, the brain sends out more fear chemicals.  Voila!  Fear Soup.   So, today I am going to be talking about how to handle the anxiety part of Fear Soup (the other part is depression).  I talk about several tips on handling both acute and chronic anxiety.

I used to think I would be stuck in the muck and mud of infertility forever. I used to think the sadness, anxiety, and childlessness would eat me alive. Do you ever feel this way? Does it ever feel like there’s actually a light at the end of the tunnel? The idea behind No Mud, No Lotus came from a book I read on transforming suffering. It’s an empowering concept where you take all of the crap you’re dealing with and use it for something good, just as the lotus could never exist without the mud. If you have any interest in making your days a little less dark, your worries a little less needling, your sadness a little less heavy, and your hope the tiniest bit brighter LISTEN TO THIS EP!

Part of dealing with #infertility is that we often feel slapped in the face with the newest bout of bad news. The next thing you know, you’re a sobbing heap on the floor somewhere. Or maybe that was just me? Be the Bamboo is a mindset of sorts in dealing with those moments of unimaginable grief and loss. In this episode of #mhfp, we talk about 5 steps you can move through difficult times (infertility or otherwise) with grace, ease, and ultimate self-compassion. As I began healing my spirit from the ravishes of infertility, I used this tool frequently. In combination with #meditation, #peace became a frequent visitor in my life (even before I became a mom). How many struggling with infertility can say THAT? So what the heck is the reference to bamboo, anyway? Listen in to find out!
