Balance

This is not the place to go into the details of psychology or how your unconscious mind can influence you without you realizing it. If you have been following me for a while, you know you can’t just focus on your body, you have to focus on your mind and emotions because they drive your hormones.

Another reason is, once you are happy in every area of your life; your relationship with your husband, with your work, colleagues, as much as possible, the more balanced you are as a person, and the more easily you have the hormonal balance that you need to carry a pregnancy from beginning to the end.

Now that I have given you a few reasons why it’s important to have this cordial relationship with your husband, let me share a couple of tips that might help.

Depending on where you are in your relationship, one thing I want you to remember is, you both aren’t perfect only God is. When you live with someone and you begin to see their mistakes. Because you both aren’t perfect, I want you to take the magnifying glass off him and for a second, put it on yourself and ask yourself, are you the best person to live with?

Are you the best person to love? Are you as balanced as you should be? You might find out that you also have certain traits that are also in line with that of your husband, have a look at it and be deliberate to accommodate other people’s mistakes, especially your spouse and also accommodate yourself. If you understand you are not perfect, it’s easy to love someone else who isn’t also.

Secondly, I want you to put the magnifying glass on your husband this time and ask yourself what are the good things you like about him? I know it might be difficult especially if the relationship is strained but am sure if you think back and really deeply, and you are very conscious about it, you will remember the things you love about him, focus on these things and keep reminding yourself that this man has good qualities and he will be the best father for your child someday.

You can ask yourself what you can do to make your relationship cordial and set to do it and if you have a fantastic relationship, you can bring it to another exciting level because you can always grow, you can’t say you love somebody enough. Think of what you can do today to surprise him, maybe give him a hug when he gets home instead of just shouting to welcome him home from the bathroom or kitchen, prepare his favourite meal and things like that. Sometimes, what we need isn’t to prove to the other person we are right and they aren’t. Sometimes all we need do is make ourselves available and welcoming. You might be pleasantly surprised at his response.

Regardless of where you are in your relationship, these tips should help. For more information on how to balance your hormones naturally for pregnancy visit www.cheriemamma.org
