Do you feel like a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome failure? Please trust me when I say you are not.

Why?

Let’s take a look…

If you’ve taken action and are beginning to implement positive lifestyle changes to conquer your PCOS signs and symptoms, a big congratulations! I applaud you. This is not always easy, but every step forward helps. And although you may not see significant changes immediately, they are happening on the inside. They’re getting ready to bust out and show the world what you are achieving! Just be patient and remember, “Healing is a process, not an event.”

If you haven’t taken action yet, I want you to really ask yourself, “Why?”

Many things can get in the way of our success, but often the uncomfortable truth—the underlying reason—may be us. There is no blame here; just a need to identify what may be stopping you. You are not a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome failure at all, but you may be overlooking the key cause of your failure to thrive.

Find somewhere private, safe. Take a piece of paper and a pen. Allow yourself to open your mind, to disconnect from your judging self, and to be truthful, open, and honest about what is holding you back.

Ask yourself questions like these (some questions and their answers may be confronting):

• Are you taking the necessary steps?
• Are you doing enough to get the results you consciously want?
  If not, why not?
• Is there some benefit to your problem?
  – Do you subconsciously wish to remain overweight because you feel safer?
  – Do you wish to remain infertile because you are scared of another miscarriage or being a ‘bad’ parent?
  – By remaining as you are now, do you fit in well with your family?

People have given me many reasons over the years why they can’t make specific changes. I recall discussing the idea of growing some herbs with someone. I was told they had no space, but even if there is next to no space, you can grow some rosemary (great for oestrogen detoxification!) in a small pot in the kitchen or hung on an outside wall. When I suggested this, I was again met with an ‘I can’t’ (such a dangerous term). It was then that I realised there was something else going on with this lovely woman. Something deeper, something maybe she was not aware of.

Really try to open up to yourself. It is first awareness and self-acceptance of who you are and where you are at (and no matter where this is, it is ok, and a perfectly good place to start your journey to success) that is a key to stopping any perceived Polycystic Ovary Syndrome failure.

And if you need professional help, get it. You are truly worth it!
