Eating Disorders

We often wait for peace to arrive.

We think it’ll come when life calms down, when people change, when circumstances finally go our way.

But peace doesn’t fall from the sky.

It isn’t something that just happens to you.

It’s something you create.

You build peace every time you pause before reacting.

Every time you take a deep breath instead of lashing out.

Every time you choose understanding over judgment.

It’s not about escaping chaos.

It’s about learning to be calm within it.

Peace is a daily practice built through small, conscious actions that start with you.

What’s one peaceful action you can take today, no matter how small?

One thing Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks appreciates about this time of year is its symbolism. As the leaves fall from the trees in shades of orange, mustard yellow, and brown, she’s reminded of the things she’d like to release, too. Right now, she’s letting go of the pressure and expectation to be everything for everyone. Instead, she’s choosing to focus on what matters most to her and set limits around what drains her energy.

What pressure are you leaving behind? What do you want to embrace instead?

💚 Happy World Mental Health Day! 💚
Let’s share the moments that have shaped our mental health journeys. This could be the time you decided to seek help, when you first noticed symptoms, an impactful conversation you had with someone, or even when you received a diagnosis.

An important moment for me was when I sat in the waiting room at my college counseling center. I had to fill out an intake form for the first time on my own, and while answering the questions, I realized I truly did need help. It was a scary realization, but I was brave and met with a counselor for the first time.

What moments or turning points have shaped your story?

Holding onto anger feels powerful at first.

It feels like protection — like you’re standing up for yourself.

But over time, it doesn’t protect you.

It poisons you.

You replay what happened, you justify the resentment, you keep reopening a wound that wants to heal.

Forgiveness isn’t about saying what happened

was okay.

It’s about choosing peace over pain.

It’s about releasing the grip the past has on your heart.

You don’t forgive because they deserve it.

You forgive because you deserve to be free.

What’s one thing you’ve been holding onto that you’re ready to release?

Sometimes our bodies speak loudly — through flare-ups, pain, or exhaustion. Other times, the messages are more subtle — maybe we’re not sleeping well, having strange dreams, or dealing with symptoms that come and go. Either way, our bodies have a way of letting us know when something’s off and we need to slow down, take care of ourselves, or seek more professional help.

Maybe your body’s saying, “Hey, drink some water,” or “It’s time to adjust your meds,” or even, “You really need to talk about what’s been stressing you out.”

What’s your body telling you it needs today? How is it trying to get your attention?

Your mind will always try to convince you that you can’t.
That you’re not ready.
That other people are stronger, smarter, or more deserving.

Faith in yourself is the quiet force that moves mountains. It’s what turns doubt into direction and fear into action.

You can do anything in the universe.
You just have to believe that you can.
