Relaxamation - I Am Whole, Healthy & Complete

My Heart & Mind with Sallie Crawley - Life after a Heart Attack or Cardiac Surgery

Quit hiding your magic! You are UNIQUE, you are the only one like you. You have one of a kind fingerprints, not even identical twins have matching ones. You are the outcome of one egg and around 40 million sperm, any other sperm and you would be a different you. You are the only one to see colours the way you do.

Remember not to compare yourself with others as there is no comparison. And anyway, you would be matching their outsides (what you see) with your insides (with what you think and feel).

The same goes for our health and our life in general. Even if we are feeling broken, we can live with health issues but still be healthy in mind and body. We can still live our lives happy. It really does help to remind yourself that you are good enough and that you are whole, healthy and complete.
Do not listen to this episode while driving or operating machinery.

Your affirmations:

I am whole, healthy and complete
I am enough just as I am
My completeness is my very nature

Say your affirmations 5 times each as a set. Repeat your set of affirmations at least once 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.
Your self-reflection questions are:

What are my three greatest qualities?
What is unique about me?
In what ways do I hold myself back?
Why, do I hold myself back?

Use these reflection questions to delve a little deeper and get to know yourself better. You can use them as prompts for journaling, during meditation or just give yourself a few moments of time to consider.

Fatigue management tips when you have a heart health diagnosis

This week I am talking more about "how-to" live life with fatigue and minimise the impact. I talk through more tools, rules and ideas to help you manage fatigue and conserve your energy.
Here are some of the topics I discuss in this episode.

Sleep - whilst it doesn't get rid of fatigue is a good place to start. It means you only have to deal with the fatigue and not tiredness too.
Nutrition - keep hydrated and an even blood sugar level if you can.
Being safe when travelling - that means you and other people too.
Self-awareness - get to know yourself and what helps, tame that voice that tells you stuff that doesn't serve you well.
Lifestyle - move around, despite being counterintuitive it will help especially if you're outside with nature.
Loving and respecting your body - fatigue management it's the only way!

Cardiac Fiction Egregious Fortune By Aaron David

Today’s episode is going to be rather different; it’s going to be a fictional story. It’s a story of someone that had a heart attack although it is founded in a true story. It’s the first fictional story that I have found about having a cardiac event and I’d like to share it with you.

I came across the author, Aaron David in a Facebook group when I was looking for people to proofread and give me feedback on my book ‘The Beat Goes On’, a how-to support yourself emotionally and practically guide for once you were discharged from hospital.

Aaron agreed, he then told me he was a published author – this nearly gave me my second heart attack as I was then nervous about what he might say. He was amazing and really helped get it just right. In the meantime, I thought I would check out his work and found that he was the author of numerous books of short humorous fiction stories and poems.

When I read his book of short stories “Booky McBookface” I came across this story that I would like to share with you today. It reminded me of how we never know what is just around the corner and how quickly things can change.

Stories can be more than just fictional, they can be metaphors for life. I use them a lot in my hypnotherapy scripts they allow clients to apply their meaning and make the changes they desire.

It's not me or Aaron who is going to read the story but another hearty, Tony Richens-Smith. Tony is also a published author he also wrote “Not Everyone Wants a Hug” seeing the world through the eyes of a dog.

After his widow-maker during covid he wrote his second book “My B****** Heart”, his personal journey after his heart attack. It was when I was listening to his audio book version, I thought I’d ask him to record this for me.

So now without any further ado, I will hand you over to Tony and the Egregious (uh·gree·juhs) Fortune.
