I love this quote. I came across it in Katrina Berry's book, Why Hypnobirthing Matters.
Our minds definitely seem to favour the negative, and this is so important to think about when it comes to preparing for the birth of your baby.
You may not even realise what is stored in your subconscious mind, which is like a sponge, taking everything in whether it was real or imagined.
Preparing your mind and challenging any of the thoughts stored in there can really help set you on the best path possible for birth. That's not to say you'll have a 'perfect' birth, as of course things can crop up that we can't control. What is a 'perfect' birth anyway?!
What it does mean is that you are more likely to feel in control of your choices, calm and equipped with tools to support you along the way. As a result, you are much more likely to feel positively about the experience of giving birth when you reflect on it in years to come.
To find how preparing your mind can make all the difference to your baby's birth, drop me a message, or leave a comment below.
