Eating Disorders

A lot of people feel guilty for focusing on themselves, especially when they care deeply about others. But ignoring your own emotional needs eventually leads to burnout, resentment, exhaustion, and unhealthy relationships. Healing yourself is not selfish. It allows you to show up for other people from a place of stability, compassion, and genuine care instead of emotional depletion. The healthier your relationship is with yourself, the healthier your relationships with others become.

Do you feel like you spend more time taking care of others or taking care of yourself?

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.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks regularly revisits her health goals and reflects on the ones she finds most difficult. During therapy or self-care time, she brainstorms shifts, changes, and entirely new approaches to make caring for herself feel more accessible and less like a chore. (Which can be easier said than done when she has a million things to do and just wants to sleep during her spare time.)

One goal she’s finding especially challenging right now is prioritizing time for activities she enjoys that aren’t connected to work or family responsibilities.

I know how convincing the mind can be when you’re struggling. It tells you that you’re too broken, too weak, too far behind, or that things will never change for you. But the people you admire who overcame anxiety, depression, fear, heartbreak, or failure are not special or superhuman. They simply kept moving forward despite what their mind was telling them. Growth begins when you stop treating every negative thought like a fact and start giving yourself the same chance you believe other people deserve.

What is one thing your mind has been trying to convince you that you’re not capable of?

The other day, I found myself in the gift section of a local convenience store, picking out something for a friend. As I passed the greeting cards, some made me laugh, while others caught my attention with their beautiful and thoughtful designs. It got me thinking: if I were to give my younger self a card, which one would I choose, and what would I say?

I’ve been reflecting on this, and I think I’d choose one with pop-out butterflies, glitter, and bright, vibrant colors. Inside, I’d write: “You’re safe now. It’s okay to relax your shoulders and take a deep breath. You deserve to feel proud of yourself. Despite everything you’ve been through, you are a sight to behold—a true treasure.”
