57 Quick and Easy Positive Affirmations for Mental Strength During Cancer.

If you want to become stronger to get through cancer, these quick and easy affirmations for mental strength will help you every day.

I was in my PJs, just sitting down to enjoy my first cup of coffee when my dad called. “Are you almost here? We need to leave in half an hour if we’re going to be on time to our appointment with Dr. Kupersmith.”

Wait. What? Wasn’t Kupersmith tomorrow…

As I scramble around in a sheer panic trying to get dressed and rush out the door…

I’m thinking over and over again in my head, “It’s okay. We’ve got this. We’ll do better tomorrow” as I rush out the door and into my car. 

I had no idea for the longest time that repeating a phrase over and over to myself was even a thing. But, it is. And it works… It’s something I now use on a daily basis as a caregiver.

Affirmations are a type of positive self-talk. 

Positive messages, powerful phrases, or positive mindset to help you get through anxious feelings or emotional distress. They are a powerful tool that can also help you push out negative self-talk and replace it with positive thinking.

The good news is, you can use these positive thoughts during stressful situations, or to get through a single moment of terror …

 Strength affirmations are the best way to improve your positive energy and crush negative thoughts.

• To get through a panicked situation.  “Just keep breathing. It’s okay. We’re gonna be okay.” 
• As a reminder of how to handle times of stress before they happen (kind of like practicing before the big game). “I feel anxious, but that’s okay. I’ve been here before and I know how to get through it.”  
• As a reminder to reach a goal you want to improve in everyday life. “I will find something each and every day to be thankful for.”  

Managing your mental state is an ongoing and complex job during a cancer situation. There are so many things that can negatively affect you at the end of the day. Our state of mind is a compilation of our past, and present thoughts and feelings. 

So, in difficult times, full of fear and uncertainty, when your stress levels are out of control… heading in the right direction with your mental strength is more important than ever.

When it comes to managing your mental state, self awareness is a major factor. 

Understanding how you feel, where those feelings are coming from, and why you’re having those particular feelings, gives you the greatest potential to begin to manage your inner power. 

Processing your feelings can be a complicated thing.

Strong people have to work hard every single day to dispel negative energy and find good things to focus on. A good way to start working on this is with a therapist or a counselor (or another medical professional).

But, if you’re a caregiver, you barely have time to brush your teeth, much less figure out an effective way to process all of these intense feelings so you can find some inner peace.

***HINT:  THERE ARE SOME INCREDIBLY INTENSE FEELINGS INVOLVED WITH A CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN YOUR FAMILY. 

 

• If you feel like you should talk to someone but have no idea how you would find the time.
• Or,  if the idea of sitting in a room with someone telling them your darkest secrets is extremely intimidating… 

The changes in the world over the last few years have made it EASY to talk to a therapist from wherever you are.

Talkspace gives you access to a licensed therapist on YOUR schedule and from the comfort of your home.  They work with some insurances and offer tools and solutions to help you navigate the challenges and anxiety that will pop up as a result of this situation.  

Worried that you won’t be able to talk freely to a therapist?  A lot of these conversations are done by text, so you won’t have to worry about being overheard or interrupted constantly.  

It’s like having just one more weapon in your arsenal to get through this situation.

Focusing on affirmations is a simple way to enhance your state of mind. Choose one of these phrases to repeat to yourself every day. You can try talking to yourself in the mirror in the mornings, or reminding yourself while you’re driving. These small positive changes will make a HUGE impact and give you a better life.

Telling yourself things like, “I am confident” or “I am relaxed and at peace” will sink into your subconscious mind. And over the long term, you will start to believe the positive statements you have repeated to yourself.

Looking for some quick powerful tools to add to your daily routine that combat negative emotions and really work? You’re in the right place.

• Affirmation (positive self-talk)
• Meditation (15 minutes per day to sit in silence and clear your head does wonders for your mental state) 
• Deep breathing techniques (breathing in through your nose and out through the mouth will slow your heart rate and help to curb anxiousness) 

Establishing a daily practice of using affirmations to improve your mental strength with each passing day and has a lot of positive benefits. It’s a great way to focus in a better direction and become a strong person. It will also lower anxiety levels, tackle mental health issues, and reduce feelings of panic. 

Head’s up… If you’re drowning in the overwhelm of a cancer diagnosis, we can help you SIMPLIFY the complex issues that come with cancer.

It makes it easier to identify, understand and find solutions to stress because you are focusing on your thoughts rather than continuously running them over in your mind.
