Affirmations To Help You Through Your Doctor Appointment
When you’re about to embark on a new treatment or venture, it can be easy to feel nervous, unsure of how it will all play out. A new doctor, a new treatment? What if it doesn’t work? These are just some of the common concerns that we all have when meeting with a new specialist.
You don’t want your visit to be an uncomfortable experience, and that’s where affirmations come in handy. This article will cover everything you need to know about using affirmations at your doctor appointment so that you can feel better prepared and more relaxed throughout the process. Let’s get started…
How to Use Affirmations Before Your Doctor Appointment
Prepare yourself for the appointment by writing out affirmations in advance. Think about what you want to get out of the doctor’s appointment. What would you like the doctor to say? Would you like him to make jokes? Would you like him to ask you about your day or about your family? Would you like the doctor to tell you that everything is fine and that you don’t have to worry?
Write all of that down and read it once or twice before the big day.
Your doctor appointment should help move you toward your goals and overall health. So before the appointment starts, think about what specifically would make this time more productive for you. For example, maybe your goal is to talk with the doctor about any changes in symptoms or pain levels.
A great technique is to create your own subliminal messages with the following affirmations so you can reach your brain while you work or watch a Netflix show.
A great place to start is to try and come up with affirmations that are specific to your situation. Let’s say you need a new set of glasses. Maybe your affirmations could be:
“I trust my doctor”
“I am going to love the outcome of my visit today”
“I am confident in how I will feel after this appointment, even if I don’t know what will happen yet”
“My eyesight is improving”
“I feel comfortable and relaxed in my doctor’s office”
“I feel relaxed”
“I know that my doctor wants what is best for my health”
“My doctor cares about my wellbeing”
“Everything will be allright”
“I am over my fear of doctors”
“This appointment will be quick and productive”
“I am comfortable around doctors”
“I trust my doctor’s skills”
“My doctor is well prepared”
“My doctor studied for years to hone his skills”
“I’m in good hands”
“Positive thinking helps me calm down and see things more clearly”
“I won’t let self-doubt cause worries in my mind”
“Health professionals are there to help me and I am grateful for that”
“I am a new positive person thanks to my affirmations”
“I am a strong person”
“I know that medical care is important for me”
“I look forward my doctor’s appointments”
“I respect and trust the medical profession”
“I see good side the even in tough situations”
How do you stay calm before a doctor’s appointment?
Other than the positive affirmations that we share with you in this post, there are other ways that can help you stay calm before your appointment with the doctor. Some of them are:
- Stay in the present moment – It will help you get your mind off those negative thoughts that make you anxious.
- Talk to someone – hearing the opinion from other people can help you realize that the appointment in your doctor’s office can’t be that bad. They can convince you that other patients have gone through that and that you have nothing to be afraid of. Also talking to someone you love about any other topic can help you calm down and put your head elsewhere.
- Breath – It may sound too simple to be true, but it’s been proven that deep breathing can help you relax in a matter of minutes.
- Remember – remember all the past times you had a doctor’s appointment and everything went well. Think about how you felt better after visiting the doctor and how nothing bad happened.
- Listen to music – Listen to instrumental music that relaxes you. Always have 1 or 2 songs that inspire you calm and listen to them while you imagine yourself in beautiful landscapes full of peace.
Conclusion
The ability to use affirmations is a crucial part of any successful life. When you say out loud the things that you want in life, your subconscious mind takes notice and begins to work in support of your goals. It’s sometimes difficult to remember to say the positive things that you want out loud. So the best way to make sure that you’re saying them is by keeping a positive journal or using a tracking app.
You can also use affirmations right before you go to your doctor’s appointment as part of your healthy preparation. You can practice by saying them out loud before you leave the house and again when you get to your appointment. If you want to be extra prepared, you can record yourself saying them and play them back when you get to your appointment. You can also create your own affirmation by adding your own personal touch.
Whatever you do, don’t forget to say those positive things out loud. The more you do it, the better you’ll get at it, and the more you’ll start to believe it.
If you’re feeling particularly nervous about the appointment, try taking a few deep breaths and repeating your affirmation to yourself. This may help to ease some of your anxiety.
