It's hard to be happy when you're constantly demeaning yourself (and, in the case of pregnancy/birth, your body). </p> <p>If you have a healthy body image and treat all aspects of pregnancy as normal and natural, it definitely makes a difference in pain/symptom management. The "bad" things become water under the bridge. They're much easier to work through, and very easy to let go of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/positive-affirmations#post-156695 Sat, 12 May 2012 13:37:42 +0000 mediagirl 156695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our birh coach last weekend suggested doig that during labor. It's something that isn't for me, I feel silly doing so. I'd rather count to 100.:-) I'm sure it could work for some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/positive-affirmations#post-156680 Sat, 12 May 2012 13:09:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 156680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read that there is a strong connection between mind and body, and that repeating positive affirmations during childbirth can actually speed up the process/make it go smoother.</p> <p>It got me thinking about life in general, and how I should start being more positive and repeating positive affirmations to myself when I am feeling down.</p> <p>Lately I have been repeating to myself over and over that my body is NOT ruined just because I have stretch marks.</p> <p>What positive affirmations do you use for yourself? What areas of your life could you use this? </p>
