Yeah, I don't see any of that.
It's not that I don't want to see it, I really do. I would love to mentally will myself into getting pregnant. It isn't that I haven't tried it either. Every time I do try it though, my mind wanders. I start trying to picture the eggs forming, and then all of a sudden I wonder if I am picturing my ovaries correctly. Maybe I'm focusing on the wrong one. Maybe what I am picturing is not an ovary at all but my gall bladder. I don't want things growing in my gall bladder, then I wold have to have surgery. What if it's an alien growing in my gall bladder? Oh, I really should put "Aliens" on our Netflix cue. Or do we still have the DVD? No, I think we loaned that to someone and lost it. Who stole our copy of "Aliens?"
See? Lost cause.
Also, I always wonder how long I am supposed to visualize. Is 30 seconds enough? Do I need to do a full half hour? Is it something I need to check in with periodically all day? I need parameters to know when the visualizing is enough to knock me up, but not enough to bring about multiple births.
Oh, and did I mention that the visualizing is supposed to be relaxing? Yeah, it's a key component of the "de-stressing" part of MB. You know, because there really is nothing stressful about trying to have a baby, or following a program with a million parts, and powders, and pills, and diet changes.
If only the visualization came in pill form. I could just add it to the others.
I can picture it now.
not pill form.....but ipod form. circle and bloom has a great meditation set. I use it off and on before bed. It is a little hippy (and for me that is saying something) but it relaxes me and guides your visualization. I always wonder though, is this really helping?? I helps me relax, at least.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I bet the writers hadn't done this whole visulization thing with an almost two year old around.
ReplyDeleteMy own attempts at visualization were very short-lived, but I'm liking the idea of an app for the iphone that can guide me. Even if the visualization isn't working, I think meditation will be beneficial.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I completely skipped that section. But I'm pretty sure thinking about visualizing is as good as visualizing, so you're covered.

ReplyDeleteHilarious! And lady, oh lady, do I feel your pain.
