What's something you want to accomplish or experience by the end of the year?

Happy September, Mighties! 🌟

We've already reached this far into the year! There have definitely been ups, downs, twists, and turns, but that doesn't stop us from setting new intentions, aspirations, or creating opportunities for ourselves.

Whether it's related to your health and treatment, visiting a place you've always wanted to go, tackling a task you've been putting off, having a conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a while, finishing a project you've been working on, starting a new one that's been stirring in your mind, or creating a routine that feels best for your body—what's something you want to get to by the end of this year?

Protecting Your Peace Is Not Selfish

Sometimes we stay in situations that hurt us because leaving feels selfish. We worry about disappointing someone, being misunderstood, or becoming the “bad person” in someone else’s story. So we keep giving chances, explaining ourselves, and tolerating things that slowly wear us down.

But there comes a point where protecting yourself isn’t cruel. It’s recognizing that your wellbeing matters too. You can care about someone and still need distance. You can understand why someone behaves the way they do without accepting how they treat you. And you can walk away from something that is hurting you without hating the person you’re leaving behind.

Not everyone needs to be removed from your life when things get difficult. But you are allowed to have boundaries around what you repeatedly accept.

Sometimes growth is learning that keeping the peace with everyone else should not require losing your own.

What boundary have you learned to stop feeling guilty about?

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:
