Rare Disease

What kind of mental diet are you on? If your self-talk is filled with doubt, fear, or criticism, your mind will reflect that back to you. Instead, try this simple shift: each morning, write down one truth you want your mind to believe—like “I am capable,” “I am worthy,” or “I am healing.” Say it out loud. Repeat it until it feels real. The brain learns through repetition—so feed it words that build you up, not break you down.

What’s one loving truth you’ll tell your mind today?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Sometimes the reason we are able to see something more clearly or understand ourselves in a different way is because of something someone else told us in a time of need. So we’re curious, what’s a piece of advice you were given that changed your perspective for the better?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that she’s gotten a lot of great advice from others over the years. The best advice, however, was when her therapist pointed out that she doesn’t have to do things that make her uncomfortable, especially if it’s making her lose sleep.

Her therapist shared that @sparklywartanks can simply create a boundary that protects her mental health instead of always trying to figure out how to navigate that troubling situation.

Silence can mean many different things depending on how you're feeling, what you're doing, who you're with, what's happening around you, your personality, and how you handle difficult situations, reflect, or learn.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks
has been thinking about this a lot lately. For her, silence is often a way to process the world around her. She’s observant and values quiet, as too many sounds or too much noise can feel overwhelming. Her silence can also signal that she’s feeling uncomfortable, confused, depressed, angry—or even that she’s in the process of learning something new.

What about you? What does your silence typically mean?

New week, new theme, but same Mightiness, friends!

This week we’re digging into reframing thoughts, which is a common skill taught in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The technique essentially boils down to taking negative thoughts and replacing them with more helpful ones — it’s not a cure-all, but it can be helpful for those of us that get frequently stuck in thought spirals or rumination.

But first, bringing awareness to our behaviors is a solid first step when learning how to reframe and shift our thoughts and mindset. Do you find that you overthink when you feel worried, anxious, or stressed?

Finding a medical professional who meets your needs and helps you feel comfortable, heard, and understood is a vital part of your health care. Whether it's a nearby primary care physician, a specialist for a specific condition, or a therapist or psychiatrist in your network, what essential quality do you look for when choosing someone to join your medical support team?

Reflecting on meaningful moments—whether positive, challenging, surprising, or unexpected—can influence your perspective, guide how you navigate life, and help define the person you choose to become.

For today’s #MightyMinute , think about a moment that stands out to you. It could be a conversation that left a lasting impression, a relationship that deeply mattered, a proud accomplishment, an experience that changed how you make decisions, or a turning point in your health journey.

What are the moments that matter most to you?
