Mindset Before Surgery
May 2800:08:20Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailBefore my open heart surgery, I realized something very important. You can’t always control the situation, but you can control how you prepare mentally for it.There were definitely moments of fear, uncertainty, and a lot of unknowns. What helped me most was going back to the same mindset tools I’ve taught athletes, executives, and teams for years.The first thing I focused on was deep breathing. Slowing my breathing down helped calm my body and clear my mind when things started speeding up emotionally.Visualization also became important. I kept picturing myself getting through surgery successfully, recovering, and getting back to the people and moments I love most. I thought about sitting at home with my dog Puffins, enjoying the simple things we often take for granted.Meditation helped me stay present. Instead of thinking too far ahead or getting lost in fear, I focused on one moment at a time, one breath at a time.Positive self talk mattered too. I reminded myself that fear is normal, but belief still matters. I kept telling myself to trust the process, trust the people helping me, and trust my mindset.Most importantly, I leaned into gratitude. I thought about family, relationships, purpose, and all the things still worth fighting for. That mindset helped carry me through some very difficult moments.These tools did not remove the challenge, but they helped me face it with more calm, clarity, and strength.Continue Your Mindset JourneyDiscover the power of the Healthy Mindset AI Platform at HealthyMindset.ai.Explore the Healthy Mindset AI Podcast for practical mindset strategies, mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, performance insights, and self-coaching tools designed for athletes, leaders, and workplace professionals.The Healthy Mindset AI Platform combines targeted assessments, personalized growth plans, digital mindset tools, accountability support, and 24/7 access to the Digital Mind Mike Hartman to help you build confidence, strengthen focus, improve consistency, and perform at your best.For additional support, Coaching On Demand with Mike Hartman provides personalized coaching focused on mindset development, goal achievement, leadership, confidence, and performance.Healthy Mindset for Athletes & Workplace Athletes Available on Amazon: Healthy Mindset for Athletes & Workplace AthletesASSESS.

Transcribe →THE FIGHT I NEVER EXPECTED
May 2100:14:15Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailTHE FIGHT I NEVER EXPECTEDI’m sharing this story in hopes that it helps someone listen to their body, stop procrastinating, and realize how important health, relationships, and community truly are before it’s too late.Three months ago, I went to New York City with my kids for the New York Rangers 100 year anniversary celebration. I was grateful to be included and reconnect with so many great people and memories. Just before all of this happened, I had the opportunity to speak to around 100 anesthesiologists and nurses about mindset, adversity, and perspective. At the time, I had no idea that only a short time later I would be in the hospital myself fighting through one of the biggest challenges of my life. Life can change fast. During the trip, I started feeling off physically, but honestly thought I was just exhausted or run down. Like many people, I tried to push through it and figured it would pass. When I got home, Cheryl could tell something was not right. She pushed me to go to the hospital and looking back now, Cheryl truly helped save my life along with Dr. T and the medical team. Doctors discovered a serious infection that turned into sepsis. Dr. T later told me that if I waited any longer, I may have only had a couple days left. The sepsis eventually spread to my mitral valve, which led to open heart surgery. Everything changed fast after that. I spent almost a month in the hospital. There were moments of fear, exhaustion, uncertainty, and times where I could barely communicate. I ended up losing over 30 pounds during the process. After leaving the hospital, I spent another month at home recovering with a midline in my arm for six weeks while continuing treatment and focusing on getting stronger again. People always talk about mental toughness. I would love to tell you I was mentally strong every second through all of this, but that would not be true. What I learned is that sometimes mindset is what keeps you fighting when the body feels exhausted. One of the biggest reasons I’m sharing this story is because I want to help wake people up so they do not make the same mistake I did. Too many people push through symptoms. Too many people procrastinate. Too many people think they will be fine and ignore signs that something may really be wrong. I almost waited too long. If something feels off, get checked out. Do not keep putting it off thinking it will just pass. Listen to the people around you who care about you. This experience also taught me there is nothing weak about leaning on others when life gets hard. Cheryl, my kids, my mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, Marty, my doctors, nurses, close friends, former teammates, and so many others carried me through one of the toughest times of my life. My teammates continuously checked in on me throughout the entire experience with support, encouragement, prayers, and messages that meant more than I could ever explain. Mark Messier said it best when he told me, “You dodged a bullet this time.” That really stayed with me. There are honestly too many people to thank individually, but this experience reminded me how important community and relationships really are when life gets hard. Dr. T, Dr. Michaels, Dr. Harley, and all the nurses were unbelievable. Their care and support during this fight meant everything to me. Now, three months later, I’m back doing a lot of conditioning and working hard to get myself back into a healthy lifestyle and better shape again. Step by step, I’m rebuilding my strength, gaining my weight back, and continuing to recover. After everything that happened, I feel more than fortunate to have a second chance at life.Life threatening moments remove the noise. You stop worrying about small things. You become grateful for simple moments again. Being home. Quiet mornings. Coffee. Time with people you love. This experience changed my perspective on life, and maybe sharing it can help somebody else before it is too late. I’ll continue sharing stories, experiences, and conversations around mindset, adversity, gratitude, health, relationships, and what really matters in life. Sometimes the hardest moments teach us the most. Discover the limitless potential.
