Look for what resonates for you. When others share their advice, when you read books, or when you see information online, do your best to disregard what doesn’t feel good to you. Take on for yourself only what resonates for you. People will share great information with you. And it’s just that: great information. It’s only great for you, if you decide so. And there’s value in learning about how others approached aspects of their pregnancy or about what “the experts” say. That’s because, whether you agree with their perspectives or not, you’ll be learning more about what your perspective is.
So when your well-intentioned neighbor tells you that you MUST go all organic with your diet and that feels way too restrictive for you, trust yourself. Don’t beat yourself up about not doing everything that people tell you to do to take care of yourself and your baby. Don’t tell yourself you should be doing “something else” when you have no intention of doing “something else.” Remind yourself that you’re doing what feels good for you, what best resonates for you.
Please join the conversation: How did you discover what resonated for you? What examples do you have about how you did what worked best for you?
