The Beliefs & Affirmations That Helped Me Overcome ANY Fear of Surgery

Hey and welcome back to the show. Hope you’re well and are ready to hear some powerful affirmations, why I chose exactly these, how I turned them into my core beliefs right before my surgery and what the final result was. You’ll leave equipped with ideas on how to come up with your own affirmations for any goal you want to achieve, challenge you wanna overcome or any change you’re manifesting. And how to make the most of those because they are much more than just sentences written somewhere that you repeat to yourself daily. Tune into the episode below:   Transcript If you don’t know what surgery I’m taking about, that’s a preventative double mastectomy with reconstruction and the previous episode dives more into why I did it, how I prepared, how I spent the night before the big day, and much more. So you can give it a listen if you haven’t already. But now I’ll talk more about just one of the many practices I relied on to shift my mindset and go from anxious to empowered, and eventually look forward to the surgery and feel deeply grateful and peaceful at the operating table, which was sort of the culmination of all the mindset work done in the weeks prior to that. Hopefully this will remind you of the power of affirmations and manifestation in general. And that your most effective tool – your subconscious mind – is always at your disposal and working for you. You just might need to reset the system sometimes as we are taught to believe some not so positive things, we’ve lived by other people’s standards for way too long, and we have inherited fears from our parents and have been conditioned since our childhood. It’s our responsibility to change the course of events but first we need to change what we believe on a subconscious level. That takes times and for some big things it might be years. For other less ingrained beliefs it can be months. And sometimes, when you have enough practice, it can be weeks. That was the case for me, being in the personal development space for over a decade paid off and I not just chose what empowering thoughts to believe a few weeks prior to surgery, but by the time the day came, there was no sign of fear and anxiety.  And there’s no denial involved here. I wasn’t distracting my mind or anything. I was 100% aware of what was happening internally and I welcomed any emotion that came in, the good and the bad ones. But when you strongly believe something is gonna go well, when you surrender, feel safe in your body and already have a vision of your amazing life after surgery, then no negative emotion is strong enough to dominate your mind even in the most stressful situation, such as walking yourself to the hospital, getting examined and asked questions and being taken to the surgeons. I chose the 18 affirmations I will share with you very carefully and mostly intuitively. They fall into a few categories so some of them might sound similar to you, but I just knew each had to be part of that exercise and of my daily life so I can feel the way I want to feel. I was basically deciding in advance how I want to feel before, during and after surgery.
