You're not the first person to do that...

An expression we like to toss around in the office is "you aren't the first person to do this."

We often get in our own heads and psych ourselves out when attempting difficult challenges. Yes, labor is new and different and there are a lot of unknowns... But, women have been giving birth in fields and huts and who even knows where since the beginning of time. Others have done it and so can you!

Yes- there is always room for education and planning and getting yourself set up to succeed. But t what point does that become fixation or dwelling on the negative? Try these tips if you find yourself ruminating on negative thoughts or fixated on bad outcomes:

• Make an actionable plan
• Readjust your life goals to realistic and attainable goals
• Meditation
• Understand your triggers
• Focus your attention on a hobby, arts & crafts, learning a new skill, or reading
• Talk to a friend, or even a professional

As always, if there is anything you need, or burning questions feel free to reach out!
