Eating Disorders

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks was recently having an interesting conversation about the definition of “normal,” especially as it relates to managing a mental health condition. It got her thinking about how she defines “normal” and how she learned to recognize the difference between her symptoms and her true personality.

She realized that her definition of “normal” has changed over time. Ultimately, she feels it’s her relationship with self-awareness that helps guide what “normal” means to her each day.

What are your thoughts? How do you define “normal” while living with a health condition? How does your relationship with your health shape that definition?

A “truth” is an idea, belief, value, or perspective that remains steady no matter what you’re experiencing. Truths can take the form of mottos, mantras, reminders, affirmations, or personal rules that help ground us in what matters most — especially during challenging or uncomfortable moments.

One truth that grounds me is reminding myself of how far I’ve come. Phrases like “I can,” “I am enough,” and “I’m doing my best” bring me back to the present moment.

What about you? What’s a truth that helps ground you?

Depression often pulls the mind into the past while anxiety pushes it into the future. The present moment is where calm lives. Learning to notice where your thoughts go and gently bring them back builds emotional balance and mental strength. This simple awareness exercise can completely change how you experience stress and overwhelm. Try it today and tell me if you felt the shift.

Mighties, let’s picture ourselves on a road trip right now. If your symptoms were in charge of the music, what song would they choose to play? What makes that song a good fit for today? 📻🎵

Overthinking keeps the mind stuck in regret about the past and anxiety about the future. Reflection is the tool that brings you back into the present. When you ask better questions, you gain clarity, emotional control, and calm. This simple habit trains your brain to stop spiraling and start learning. Which question helped you the most? Save this for the next time your thoughts race.
