If you’re on a fertility journey, you probably already know that some times of the year are harder than others. The holidays can be particularly stressful, because they bring together families and are often at least partially focused on children. Because of that, they can be difficult reminders of the struggles you’re facing. Here are five ways to get through the holidays more easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Prioritize Your Self-Care<\/b><\/h4>\n

Self-care is <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> selfish, and that’s even more true when you’re experiencing fertility issues. Be kind to yourself this holiday season, and don’t be afraid to let others know what you need. You don’t have to put other people first, even if you’ve done that in the past. If you don’t feel like hosting a party, or even attending one, staying home and spending time relaxing is a perfectly acceptable choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Join a Support Group<\/b><\/h4>\n

A support group for people on their fertility journeys can be another good way to move through the holiday season more easily. You can choose an online or in-person group, depending on what you’re comfortable with and what’s available to you. Knowing you’re not alone and have others to talk to is often very helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Take a Break From Social Media<\/b><\/h4>\n

Social media is full of people talking about the happy moments in their lives. Sometimes, that doesn’t help you feel good about where you’re at, especially if your fertility journey is taking a long time or you’ve experienced losses along the way. Taking a social media break around the holidays can help you focus on other things.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Be Willing to Say No<\/b><\/h4>\n

It’s absolutely okay to say no to social obligations, invites for parties and other get-togethers, and any other activities you don’t feel comfortable with. Sometimes, being around other people can really help, but choose wisely. Saying no can be a powerful way to protect yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Distract Yourself When Necessary<\/b><\/h4>\n

Distractions can go a long way toward helping you get through the holidays. You can find solace in shows or movies you enjoy, time spent online, music, art projects, exercise, and all kinds of other things. Take care of yourself first, and let distractions be a part of that, so you can move past the holidays more comfortably.<\/span><\/p>\n
