Rare Disease

Happy Monday, Mighty Champions! 🎖️

Bravery comes in many forms—whether it's pushing through a tough situation, standing up for yourself, stepping outside your comfort zone, facing your fears, making choices that prioritize your health, taking part in meaningful change, helping others, or simply staying true to who you are. Every day, we practice acts of courage, big and small.

Can you recall a time when you felt brave? What happened, and how did the experience impact you afterward?

Before the week takes off, take a moment to ask yourself: What do I actually want to accomplish?

A little planning goes a long way. It helps you stay focused, anticipate challenges, and make real progress—whether it’s in work, personal life, or just having more fun.

Intentions without action are just dreams. Write them down and make them happen.

We’re going back to our truest roots for this week’s self-care theme — storytelling.

Here on The Mighty, there are so many amazing people who share their experiences daily. We all benefit, resulting in a community for those who may share a diagnosis, have a similar experience, or can simply gain perspective through others’ vulnerability.

One thing we know for sure is that each of our stories are important and worth sharing (yes, yours too!), especially in those moments when we need support and a listening ear. When we share our stories, we not only build community, but we also let others know they are not alone.

Who could benefit from hearing yours?

Friday has come at last, Mighties! Great job with this week's self-care challenge .👏

Our final activity will be to reflect and share about how we can improve our own communication skills.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks would like to improve her communication skills by being more confident in her own voice and speaking up more.

Share how you would like to improve in the comments below 👇

A few uplifting, encouraging, or comforting words can make a big difference when you're struggling. Whether it’s realistic advice, an informative perspective, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, support from others can be incredibly powerful.

Our Mighty community is a beautiful example of connection and compassion. 💌

What’s the best thing someone has ever said to you during a tough time?

Here's a nice morning ritual to have for yourself. Does reading this first thing in the day help bring peace from a restless night or perhaps more positivity about an uncertain future? What is your morning routine?

Also, I make mental health video responses to many of your questions. The latest one is about the power of journaling for mental clarity. If this sounds useful, check it out by clicking one of the links below:

No matter how long you've known someone or been in a situation or circumstance, sometimes it's still super challenging to communicate effectively. No judgment here, we totally get it. 🙋

@sparklywartanks says she struggles to communicate effectively when she feels uncomfortable, anxious, or around someone she hasn't spoken to in a long time.

What about you? In what situations is it challenging for you to communicate effectively?
