Rare Disease

When my daughter was first (mis)diagnosed with a rare disease in 2013, not only was I utterly devastated by the news that she had a progressive disease, but I was also shocked beyond reason by the realization that such a disease even existed in the first place. That moment was reality-altering. In fact, I remember very little from that day, except [...]

You are not supposed to be happy all the time.

So many people believe that feeling pain means they are broken or behind in life, but pain is part of the human experience, not a personal failure. Avoiding it only keeps it stuck, while allowing it to be felt helps it move through you. When you stop fighting pain and learn to sit with it, it can become a source of clarity, resilience, and motivation. What helps you stay present with difficult emotions instead of running from them?

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

A simple daily routine for better mental health

Most people take care of their physical health automatically, but mental health is often left to chance. That is why having a simple daily routine can make such a difference. Taking a few quiet moments in the morning to reflect on what you want from the day helps create intention instead of reaction. Checking in once or twice during the day keeps you connected to yourself instead of running on autopilot. Ending the day by reflecting honestly and writing down a few things you are proud of builds self respect and strengthens the relationship you have with yourself. This is not about being perfect or productive, it is about learning how to support your own mind consistently. What part of this routine feels like it would help you the most right now?

What’s a limiting belief you want to change about yourself?

What exactly is a limiting belief and how does it affect our growth?

A limiting belief is a state of mind or a perception you have about yourself that restricts or stops you in some way from where you want to go or how you want to feel. Limiting beliefs can range from a simple thought that stops us from making specific steps in our life, to ideas and perspectives that influence our behavior and how we act around others.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says a limiting belief she wants to change is the idea that no one could fully accept her due to her mental health diagnoses, triggers, and highly sensitive needs. She wants to flip that mindset and open herself up to believing she is worthy of all the love and acceptance in the world because she definitely deserves it!

When you let go, you create space for better things to enter your life

Letting go is difficult because the mind confuses familiarity with safety. Even when something hurts, it can feel easier to hold on than to face the unknown. But growth requires space. When you stop gripping what no longer serves you, you give your nervous system room to settle and your life room to shift. What is one thing you feel ready to release so something better can enter?

This mindset will save you a lot of anger

It’s easy to take things personally when someone cuts you off, says something sharp, or seems careless. Your mind instantly turns it into an attack and labels them as rude or bad. But think about how many times you have been lost in your own thoughts, stressed, overwhelmed, or dealing with something heavy, and accidentally bumped into someone or said something without thinking. Most people are fighting their own mental battles that you will never see. Practicing understanding instead of reacting does not excuse bad behavior, but it frees you from carrying unnecessary anger. The more you let people be human, the more peace you create for yourself. What helps you pause before reacting when someone triggers you?
