            Relaxation Techniques for Your Fertility Journey

            Posted By Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine

            Everyone has stress in their lives that can affect them on a daily basis. You have to finish that report at work, run errands, cook meals, do tasks around the house, and not to mention you are trying to get pregnant. It’s no wonder that you can’t seem to find even five minutes to focus on relaxation.

            When you are trying to conceive your body needs less stress. By utilizing these simple techniques below, you can begin to decrease stress and put your body in a better state for conception.

            Ways to Achieve Relaxation During Your Fertility Journey

            Yoga

            Yoga is a time-honored relaxation technique that calms the mind and the body. Yoga tenses and relaxes the muscles as a physical medium for stress relief. As an additional benefit, yoga will help tone the muscles, which will be beneficial once you do become pregnant.

            Meditation

            Meditation often gets a reputation as being a very intensive way to reduce relaxation, but it can actually be rather easy! Simple acts can create a sense of calm, like listening to your favorite music or taking a short walk outside where you focus on the nature around you. When you catch stressful thoughts or energy creeping in, set aside at least 10 minutes to do something to calm your mind.

            Try Breathing Exercises

            One of the best-known ways to achieve relaxation is by utilizing breathing techniques. This can be as simple as sitting in a quiet place in a comfortable position and focusing on your breathing. Take deep breaths in and out: counting to three as you breathe in and again when you breathe out. While you are breathing, try to visualize a place or image that is peaceful to you. Stress naturally makes your breathing shallow and strained, so focusing on your breath is a great way to create instant inner-calm.

            Channel Creativity

            Creative outlets have been proven to promote relaxation. Buy a beginners watercolor set and paint the tree outside your window or do a simple seasonal craft project. Anything that channels the use of your hands and mind in harmony can do wonders to help you relax.

            Acupuncture

            Acupuncture is a holistic method that has roots going back thousands of years. Beyond relaxation, recent studies show acupuncture’s positive outcomes for women seeking to become pregnant. It is a safe way to increase blood flow throughout the entire body, generating endorphins and helping promote fertility. And at ACRM, we’re pleased to offer fertility acupuncture in Atlanta as a supportive therapy to infertility treatment!
