The real skills behind mental health success that no one teaches you

Most people think success comes from intelligence, motivation, or luck, but one of the strongest predictors is resilience. Resilience is what allows you to keep going when things don’t work, when emotions run high, and when resistance shows up. You build it by learning from failure instead of attacking yourself, by slowing down your reactions so emotions don’t make decisions for you, and by intentionally doing small uncomfortable things so challenges stop feeling overwhelming. Over time, this trains your mind to face obstacles instead of avoiding them. When you also remember that most problems will not matter in five years, it becomes easier to let go of fear and move forward anyway. Which part of resilience do you feel you need to work on the most right now?

What’s something that’s been confusing for you to understand or navigate lately?

Between the few days after the holidays and right before the New Year, this time can feel especially confusing in general. Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has been working through some overwhelming emotions she’s never allowed herself to fully feel before. Along the way, she’s found herself not only confused, but also unpacking the roots of that confusion and how deeply it connects to her childhood trauma. It’s been a lot to manage, but she knows she has the tools to work through it as best she can.

What about you? Have you been trying to better understand something lately, or feeling confused about how to navigate or process a certain topic or area of your life?

Trying to make sense of it all 🧠

I’m Em and I’m excited to join The Mighty in a time of coming to terms with my diagnosis of #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder this year. I was previously diagnosed with comorbidities of #ADHD #Anxiety #Insomnia and an #EatingDisorder (in remission form #AnorexiaNervosa for 10+ years). I’m studying my Masters in Psychology & Behavioural Sciences and am deep in my #DBT and #Sobriety journey, and am looking to connect with people and share my and read stories of those who are trying to accomplish some hard things (which is sometimes simply getting out of bed or, for us insomniacs, quieting the mind in order to sleep) with heavy diagnoses weighing on them. And above all, I’m trying to make sense of it all and find #Hope not just for me but for those battling along my side. 🧠 #MightyTogether

You are not supposed to be happy all the time.

So many people believe that feeling pain means they are broken or behind in life, but pain is part of the human experience, not a personal failure. Avoiding it only keeps it stuck, while allowing it to be felt helps it move through you. When you stop fighting pain and learn to sit with it, it can become a source of clarity, resilience, and motivation. What helps you stay present with difficult emotions instead of running from them?

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

A simple daily routine for better mental health

Most people take care of their physical health automatically, but mental health is often left to chance. That is why having a simple daily routine can make such a difference. Taking a few quiet moments in the morning to reflect on what you want from the day helps create intention instead of reaction. Checking in once or twice during the day keeps you connected to yourself instead of running on autopilot. Ending the day by reflecting honestly and writing down a few things you are proud of builds self respect and strengthens the relationship you have with yourself. This is not about being perfect or productive, it is about learning how to support your own mind consistently. What part of this routine feels like it would help you the most right now?
