Jamie Mammenga is here with Anne for our first “Mindful Moment with Jamie” of 2023.
It's a new year and we want to talk about patterns, and how we can break the ones that are not serving us.
From checking ovulation predictor kits to early pregnancy tests, being in fertility treatment can make it feel like your life is ruled by "peeing on a stick". One of our wonderful listeners sent us a question to ask if others experience what she called “Pink Line Addiction.” While "Pink Line Addiction" is a great band name, this concept of frequent home testing can really impact your life.
Anne and Jamie share great tips for thinking about this pattern, deciding if it is serving you well or not, and ways to break the cycle. Listen for ideas on distraction, the concept of "thought stopping," and a new guided meditation.
The loss of control you feel in infertility is real, and painful. We hope this episode helps you examine what patterns in your life are helpful, and what ones might need to be discarded like an old test stick.
