Eating Disorders

Eating disorder recovery — like recovery from many mental illnesses — if often spoken of like a life-long journey. Although you can recover from an eating disorder, it’s an ongoing process and one that can stick with you for a lifetime. To capture this journey of recovery, the National Eating Disorder Association asked its community [...]

After being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa back in June 2016, we were asked to make speeches in English about something that was important to us. So here’s mine: A plea for education on the deadliness of eating disorders in secondary schools. Eating disorders are not “glamorous.” They’re deadly. You can thank today’s society for that. [...]

Envy steals your peace

Envy often shows up when the mind forgets its own direction. Comparing yourself to others can quietly create tension, self doubt, and dissatisfaction, even when you are doing well. Peace of mind comes from returning your attention to your own path and trusting that growth does not need to look the same for everyone. The less you measure your life against others, the more grounded and content you begin to feel. Where do you notice comparison stealing your peace the most?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer

People are so rude. I keep thinking about all the times people have offended me and I have felt disrespected me.

I keep remembering this one guy who knew my uncle and he told me my life could be a lot worse and then one time I used to talk to this girl who was a really bad nasty person who took advantage of me and he told me I am too young to be hanging out with her that she is a fine lady. I also keep remembering there was this one guy who worked as a mental health technician at the mental hospital I was in and he told me to leave him alone and then he saw me got hospitalized again and he asked how I am doing. Another mental health technician named Alex told me what I am going through must be tough and it doesn’t effect his life whatsoever. I can’t count how many times I have had men be rude and disrespectful to me even cops. I don’t see why they can’t be nice. I have been called ugly my whole life. I don’t know why people have to be so rude to me. That’s why I am not gonna tolerate bullsh*t anymore and I am gonna be mean too. There have been plenty of more times people have been rude to me; countless. That is why I choose to stay away from people. I rather be by myself..

How to stop destructive thoughts from running your life

Destructive thoughts often go unquestioned, even though they quietly shape how you live your life. Beliefs like “I’m not capable,” “I’m not confident enough,” or “I’ll get rejected” feel true because they come from past experiences, not because they actually reflect who you are now. Learning to identify these thoughts, understand where they came from, and consciously replace them with more supportive self talk can slowly change how you see yourself and what you are willing to attempt. Reframing your thoughts is not about pretending everything is perfect, it is about choosing beliefs that help you move forward instead of keeping you stuck. Which belief do you notice holding you back the most right now?

Instead of resolutions, I prefer _____________.

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🏵️

Every year around this time, there’s a lot of conversation about New Year’s resolutions and intentional goal-setting. While these can be motivating for some, they can also create an unspoken pressure to change parts of our lives—whether or not we have the energy, stamina, or motivation to turn those goals into sustainable habits.

Often, once the “holiday hype” fades, we may find ourselves returning to what feels safest and most comfortable, regardless of the resolutions we’ve made. This can sometimes add feelings of guilt or grief to the goal-setting process.

So let’s take a moment to reflect on what feels better and more supportive for us during this season. Instead of resolutions, what feels more feasible and manageable for you right now?
And if resolutions do work for you, what’s your approach—and why does it fit your lifestyle?

Feel free to share your thoughts and perspectives below! 💭

Be selective

It can feel tempting to defend yourself, explain your side, or win an argument, but not every situation deserves your emotional energy. Constantly fighting to be right keeps your mind activated and your body tense. Choosing peace does not mean you agree or give up, it means you are prioritizing your mental health over unnecessary stress. The more selective you become with your battles, the calmer and more grounded your life feels. Where in your life could choosing peace bring you relief right now?

If you feel like you’re just surviving instead of thriving, do this instead

A lot of people are not failing at life, they are just stuck in survival mode. When stress is constant, focus disappears, reactions become automatic, and intention gets replaced by exhaustion. Simple tools like pausing before reacting, focusing only on what you can actually control, and identifying what drains or fuels your energy can shift you out of that pattern. You do not need to fix everything at once. You need clarity. When you slow down your reactions, let go of what is outside your control, and deliberately invest energy in what supports you, thriving becomes possible again. Which of these feels like the hardest part for you right now?
