MEDICAL CARE: THINK SUCCESS IN PREGNANCY
Think happy thoughts of success, and the
chances of success and positive achievement are more likely to come your way.
Think dour, unhappy thoughts of sadness, or pain and suffering, and just as
surely, you are more likely to run into trouble. There is little doubt of this,
as countless thousands of women have testified.
Nobody has told the animals that their
confinements are to be tilled with pain and suffering and horror, so they
usually glide through them with complete ease. Numerous native tribes,
"uneducated" by our standards, have never been told to expect hardship, agony
and the tortures of the damned when they are reproducing, so they do not look
for it. And according to numerous reports by on-the-spot investigators, they
undergo very little physical or mental trauma when their time arrives.
"It's all in the mind." How true! So,
from the moment your pregnancy is confirmed (and preferably well before that
date, when you have the first intimate inkling yourself), start to programme
your mind correctly. Do it regularly, preferably every day, many times every
day.
''This is normal, natural, and I intend
to enjoy every living moment of my pregnancy,'' you tell yourself in terms loud
and clear. Repeat the message many times during the day, and just before you go
to bed at night. Repeat it if you awaken during the night, and say it again
first thing every morning.
Gradually, with this incessant input of
positive, happy, successful ideas, your subconscious mind will automatically
become programmed to expect the best, to expect success.
The psychological benefits of sensible,
positive, practical programming of the mind cannot be over-expressed and
re-emphasized.
Try to live a sensible, normal, natural
life. Do not mollycoddle yourself. This is tantamount to failure. Nature will
certainly "deliver the goods" in due course. But you are doing yourself an
injustice to become introspective and introverted at this vital time. It is a
time to enjoy, to be happy.
Not only is it a time of happiness for
you, but it should be for all the family as well. Your husband will be delighted
to see your enjoyment and zest for living increase. If there are already other
members in the family, let them in on the secret as well. There is nothing so
delightful as "togetherness" when another member is anticipated.
