    Today is World Bipolar Day…I’m proud to say I’m Bipolar and Thriving…how many of you are too? Maybe tell a little of your story…

    Today is World Bipolar Day … it is observed on March 30 every year, on the birthday of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh — one of the most influential artists in the history of Western art. His creativity was paralleled with his mental illness and he was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder dramatically affects the mood and may result in episodes of depression and elation, which can affect one’s health, productivity, and relationships. World Bipolar Day educates and promotes the spread of information on bipolar disorder through international collaborative efforts

    Set a bite-sized goal with us.

    Mighty staffers have lots of options about New Year’s resolutions, but you know what we can all agree on? That goal-setting is a good practice at ANY point in the year — as long as it’s approached from this perspective: no goal is too small or silly, and goals should be encouraged to change.

    That being said, set a snackable goal with us today! What are you looking to accomplish today, this week, next month?

    💪 P.S. Not hitting a goal doesn’t make you a failure because pivoting is a natural part of life.

    It’s not what the world takes away from you that matters, it’s what you do with what you have left that counts

    Every day we wake up and have a choice...smile (even in the times of most adversity) or let things bring you down until all you can do is frown. Feeling sorry for yourself gets you nowhere, making the most of what you have builds character, confidence and gives us a chance for a reason to smile. Every day I have to make this choice, I pride myself in having a positive attitude and when I find myself focusing on all the things that have brought me down, instead being thankful that I survived it all...but there are some days when I fail...its a lifelong journey and every day that starts with a smile is a success. Some days it takes part of the day of allowing myself to suffer that I then can hopefully shift to remembering that I am thankful for all the blessings I have in my life to be grateful for! I choose to smile today!

    What symptom makes you feel out of control of your body or mind?

    Mighty staffer Kat had a revelation over the weekend about why nausea is her least favorite physical health symptom — it makes her feel out of control of her own body… a total sense of drowning, not knowing where the surface is.

    Which leads us to today’s prompt: What health symptom — could be physical or mental or emotional — makes you feel like you’re losing control? Is there anything you can do to take back your power?

    Happiness is a choice? #to a point?

    #MightyMinute #Some choices are beyond. Making yourself happy, with family and friends it's sometimes true that when we can affect others happiness family and friends, we can find a happy minute, I haven't lost my sense of humour so a few of those helps when my pain pokes its head through meds, so happiness is a personal thing sometimes when you have fibromyalgia it's hard to crack a smile, it's also hard not to be happy but to affect others happiness, so I'm quiet when symptoms are taking turns to inflict whatever on the minute, or hour in any given day, I sometimes think ah ha, I know what will fix that, usually insomnia while slowing down and preparing for sleep, it just won't come, even if you try everything available, so a little happiness comes when you find something that could help, still trying to get more info on barometric pressure, BOM hasn't shown yet but will find whatever is available and takes Mighty Minute or few to share with our Mighties, always thanking the Almighty Father for what we can do and who we are, share love and kindness, not judgement because you never know what someone has or is going through, so a smile is free uses less muscles and even when you think you can't love shows we can. Even for A mighty minute, it may help someone having a bad day, love is all you need. Music has been my mentor and it's a matter of preference doof🎶doof 🎶doof doesn't help me but it's personal as is pain happiness is sometimes simply not having any anywhere.
