Eating Disorders

Suffering often continues because the mind keeps returning to the pain itself instead of what can be learned from it. This does not mean minimizing what hurt or pretending it did not matter. It means choosing to extract meaning instead of staying stuck in replay. When you focus on the lesson, you reclaim some power and give your experience a direction instead of letting it define you. Growth does not erase pain, but it prevents pain from being the end of the story. What lesson do you feel ready to take from something that hurt you?

Many people feel mentally overwhelmed because their thoughts never get processed, they just keep looping. Journaling works because it does the same thing talking to a trusted person does. It helps you externalize your thoughts so you can understand them instead of being buried by them. Simple practices like a five minute brain dump, a short gratitude list, or writing to your future self can reduce mental clutter and increase clarity over time. You do not need to be consistent or good at writing for this to help. You just need to start. Which of these journaling practices feels like the easiest place for you to begin?

As we adjust, change, and revisit our daily, weekly, or monthly to-do lists, there are tasks, responsibilities, or goals that naturally rise to the top as priorities—whether because of the time of year or other life factors. Whether they’re health- or self-care–related, or part of our “adulting” duties, what’s something currently on your “need to get to” priority list?

Growing up, I had little knowledge or understanding of what it meant to take care of my mental health—that is, until I had to make it a priority. Even now, it still surprises me how much effort, support, energy, and confidence it takes to remain resilient. Sometimes I feel incredibly tired and exhausted from keeping up with my treatment and care.

What about you?
