Springs first flowers

Needed some uplifting distractions so I noticed our garden has begun to pop early excuse the pun. California poppies, Lavender Splash (probably last year it's a bit unruly and Tuscan Blue Rosemary with another variety of crawling Rosemary can't remember the name. Just thought I'd share to hopefully brighten someone's day 🙂💙#Anxiety #Depression #RareDisease #MuscularDystrophy #Fibromyalgia #Disability #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #MentalHealth #DegenerativeDiscDisease

What area of your health do you feel needs more attention right now?

Taking care of your health often involves many layers. Those layers can become even more complex when you add health conditions, disabilities, or unexplained symptoms. It takes a lot of work and awareness to keep track of all that may be happening in your body (something we Mighties know all too well! 🙋🏻).

Based on what you have on your plate right now, what aspect of your health could use a little more attention or care? How are you thinking about prioritizing that area of your health?

TRUE or FALSE: Budgeting comes easy to me.

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week we’re talking about a topic that people often find uncomfortable: budgeting.

From maintaining our homes, to managing our health, to even paying for the things we enjoy like TV subscriptions or traveling, budgeting is something we all have to think about more often than not. Making important financial decisions is one of the many unavoidable responsibilities that come with #adulting.

Do you find budgeting easy or is it challenging for you?

What’s one thing you can do today that will make you feel more organized?

Anyone with porencephaly or cerebral palsy?

Hey. It's been a long time since I've been on here. 2 years+. Quite a bit has changed. I'm working kitchen at my job now. It is geniunely tiring but fulfilling. I'm volunteering at a model train museum twice a week now & it gives me motivation to continue building my layout.#CerebralPalsy #RareDisease

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

Many people wait for certainty before they act. The problem is that certainty rarely arrives first. Progress usually begins with small actions taken while things are still unclear. When you shift your focus from trying to control the future to simply taking the next step, uncertainty becomes less frightening and more full of opportunity.

What is something in your life right now where uncertainty is stopping you from taking action?

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:
