Eating Disorders

You might feel like you missed your chance.

Like you should have healed by now, or started earlier, or figured everything out already.

But as long as you are breathing, it is not too late.

Every breath you take is proof that you still have time.

Time to begin again.

Time to rebuild.

Time to change direction.

You are not too old.

You are not too broken.

You are not too far behind.

You are alive, which means you still have possibility.

You can take one small step today, even if it feels tiny.

That is how every new beginning starts.

Your past is not the final chapter.

This is your moment.

Begin again.

What is one small beginning you can make today? Comment it here.

Learning how to advocate for ourselves can take patience, time, practice, and consistent effort. For me, it’s taken years of therapy to feel confident enough in my voice and self-awareness to know when and how to speak up. It’s still really challenging at times depending on the situation, and I do still feel guilty more often than not — but I’m better than I was five years ago, and I’m proud of that progress! 🥳

What’s your experience with self-advocacy? How does speaking up for yourself make you feel?

For today’s #MightyMinute , we’re tuning into the moments, skills, and experiences that tap into and boost our inner confidence — whether it’s a self-care routine, a conversation with a trusted loved one or friend, sharing knowledge about a topic you’re passionate about, or something you’ve practiced and strengthened over time.

When do you feel the most confident?

💙 P.S. If this activity feels challenging, that’s totally OK — we feel that. Confidence isn’t always easy to access, and some days it takes a little more gentleness. We're sending you some extra love today! 💌

Finding something that supports you — whether it's a distraction, a way to get things done, or a tool that supports mobility or accessibility — can be a lifesaver. It can also add an extra layer of comfort and confidence.

What's something you’ve found that you’re grateful for and that’s helped you manage your health in some way, shape, or form?

When you’re angry or in pain, it feels like those emotions are you.

You say, I am angry. I am hurting.

But what if you could step back and simply watch the anger, observe the pain, without becoming it?

The moment you separate yourself from what you feel, you begin to take your power back.

You realize that anger and pain are passing states, not your identity.

Try this next time a wave hits you:

Pause.

Breathe.

Notice the feeling as something happening in you, not something you are.

That’s the first step to peace of mind — awareness of mind.

What emotion have you been identifying with lately?
