Take time to find what works for you, listen to your body, and embrace each step, big or small. 2.Prioritize Mental Health – Mental health is just as important as physical health. Don’t be afraid to seek support, set boundaries, and be open about your journey, whether it’s navigating a diagnosis or building a new routine. 3.Small Habits, Big Change – Change doesn’t happen overnight. Focus on small, sustainable habits that, over time, lead to significant growth and transformation. 4.Redefine Self-Care – Self-care isn’t a luxury but a necessity. Find practical ways to incorporate it daily, from nourishing foods to mental breaks that support long-term resilience. 5.Trust the Process – Whether it's personal goals, mental health, or even fertility journeys, trust in your unique process. There’s strength in vulnerability and patience as you grow and adapt along the way.
