Ten Ways to Express your TTC Rage
Posted 10-21-2009 at 06:07 PM by circlebloom
Riding the TTC roller-coaster every month can get very exhausting, depressing and very frustrating. Where do we put all of this energy? I believe strongly we have to LET IT OUT.
Here are some insightful ways to release the anger:
1. Pay attention to your thoughts – don’t judge, just listen. When we start to be conscious and aware of our thought patterns, a shift automatically begins to happen.
2. Talk with trusted friends or family members. Call it a ***** session. You may even want to tell your friend to just listen and not talk.
3. Keep a journal / blog. When you start journaling your thoughts, you become more aware of them and therefore more in control. Have no rules for your journal.
4. Conscious breathing. It is said that the easiest way to the present moment – where there really are no problems you can’t deal with – is to start to become consciously aware of your breathing.
5. Visualization of the anger and then letting it go. You might want to visualize your anger collecting inside, going round and round and then coming out through your a deep out-breath, and then that anger becoming a helium balloon and just floating away.
6. Drawing, sketching, creating something while focusing on the anger. Take a plain piece of paper, and sketch and color whatever comes to mind when reflecting on your infertility. Come back to it a few days later to study it and let your intuition guide you inside its secrets.
7. Loud music and singing at the top of your lungs. Shut the door, blast the music and sing along at the top of your lungs.
8. Guided visualization and deep relaxation. Repeated, daily use of deep relaxation and guided visualization using the Circle + Bloom program or other programs can be incredibly therapeutic and enlightening.
9. Exercise. Get the blood pumping and then allow your anger to come through.
10. Join a support group.
Above all, let yourself experience it. Try not to deny it. It’s healthy and above all know that it’s OK to have these negative emotions.
What are some of the ways that you deal with ups and downs of trying to conceive?
