Eating Disorders

As I mentally prepare for this year's festivities with my family, I wanted to check in both with myself and with my Mighty family on what we're saying "no" and "yes" to in the next two weeks. Let's list our boundaries and what we are accepting.

I'll go first!

🚫 I'm saying "no" to feeling responsible for how other people feel and overextending my energy till I'm exhausted.

✅ I'm saying "yes" to allowing myself to feel excited and loved. It's OK for me to embrace my positive emotions.

Letting go of something you’re holding onto—whether literally or figuratively—can be challenging and complex, no matter what it is or how much time has passed. We understand how hard this can be, so there’s absolutely no judgment here. 🙋🏻

What has your experience with “letting go” been like? Do you find it easy, or does it depend on the situation? If you’ve learned how to let things go in a way that works for you, what helped you get there? What tips or insights would you share with others?

When your mind feels stressed or foggy, it is often because you never truly pause. Staring at screens for hours trains your nervous system to stay tense, even when you think you are pushing through productively. This simple exercise helps reset that pattern by giving your eyes and mind a moment of openness. Every ten minutes, take ten seconds to look at something about ten feet away, not your phone but the space around you. Looking up instead of down creates distance from the task and reminds your mind that what you are working on is not as overwhelming as it feels. Small pauses like this can bring more calm, clarity, and focus than forcing yourself to keep going. Have you ever noticed how much better you feel after even a brief break?
