Life after a cardiac event is rarely straightforward. Whether you’ve experienced heart disease, heart failure, cardiac arrest, surgery or a heart attack, your world often feels different. Routines shift, energy fluctuates, and emotions can feel unpredictable. Many people share that they don’t feel as steady as they once did, or that they’re constantly trying to “catch up” with the new version of life they’ve been handed.
That’s why developing emotional flexibility becomes such a powerful part of recovery.
Today’s Relaxamation is based on the affirmation: “I adapt and adjust to what is.”
It helps you reconnect with the inner strength you already possess – the strength to bend without breaking, to adjust without losing yourself, and to respond from calm rather than fear.
Why Adapting Matters in Cardiac Recovery
Your nervous system has been through a shock. Your body has been healing. Your mind has been processing a difficult experience. It’s completely normal to resist change, especially when it wasn’t chosen.
But resisting what is can drain your energy and increase stress on the heart. Learning to pause, breathe, and soften your response helps your body relax, your heart rhythm settle, and your confidence rebuild.
What Today’s Relaxamation Helps You Do
As you listen, you’ll be guided gently into a deeply relaxed state. The calming induction, Ericksonian relaxation and thoughtful reinforcement help you:
- release emotional resistance
- reconnect with inner wisdom
- become more flexible in your thinking
- find creative ways to move through challenges
- trust yourself again
- feel grounded even in times of uncertainty
This episode reminds you that you already know how to adapt, you’ve been doing it your whole life. Now you get to do it with more gentleness, presence and self-compassion.
Today’s Affirmation:
Say your affirmation 5 times each as a set. Repeat your set of affirmations at least twice a day.
The more you use them, the bigger the impact. Add them to a habit that you do every day. While cleaning your teeth, driving, running, walking your dog, washing the dishes, when you first wake up or the last thing at night.
