Fake it till you feel it. You know when you fake laugh, then you start to really laugh? That’s what I should have done through pregnancy. I should have just gone to pregnant-lady stuff and faked it. I bet I would have started to feel it.
What you focus on grows. In my case, I hyper-focused on every negative thing happening in my business and my fears of motherhood, so I got more of it. When I shifted my mindset and focused on the good, and created more good for my clients, more good came back to me. It’s obviously a little more complicated than that, but in short, don’t focus on negative stuff.
Seasons change, remember that. Pregnancy, the newborn stage, the toddler stage—it’s all just a season, and it’s not forever. If it feels hard or scary, that’s okay. One day, you’ll look back on it and kinda miss it.
If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and scared out of your mind, it’s going to be okay. Use all the amazing resources out there, and trust you were given this AMAZING gift because it’s meant for you.”
