Rare Disease

Out of everyone we spend time with in our lives, we spend the most with ourselves. And how we speak, treat, and interact with our own minds and hearts influences our self-perception (and usually our self-esteem, too).

This also means we have the ability to change how we feel about ourselves at any given time. Whether it’s your negative self-talk or your lack of confidence at work, what’s a perspective you have about yourself that you want to improve?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wants to grow in the perspective that she is deserving of love, friendship, and companionship from others just for being herself.

Reaching December always stirs up a lot of thoughts for me. As I write this, I'm imagining myself sitting under the moonlight with the year's lessons rolling past me like movie credits. One thing that keeps coming up is what I want to move on from.

I want to move on from the version of me that holds too tightly to experiences that hurt. I’m ready to let them go now. I want to learn what I need to learn — and then let go just as gracefully.

What's something you want to move on from or let go of?

It’s been a long year — one we can both archive and move on from, but also revisit when we need to reflect on what stood out for us.

What’s something important this year has taught you, helped you see differently, or clarified for you? Why was that experience, lesson, or moment of introspection meaningful? What made it stick with you?

Share your year-end takeaways below!

The good thing about making changes is that it’s a fluid and flexible art form, and you can incorporate those tweaks when and where you see fit.

Whether it be something completely new, something you want to adjust, or even an action or habit you’re looking to add to your daily routine, we are cheering you on! You are worthy of change.

What’s something you want to incorporate more of on a daily basis?

The mind is like water. When it is turbulent, it is difficult to see. When it is calm, everything becomes clear.

So the next time you feel yourself caught in anger, sadness, or anxiety, give yourself a minute before reacting.
Let your thoughts settle.
Let your emotions breathe.

Clarity doesn’t come from control. It comes from stillness.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, take one slow breath, and wait until the water clears.

What helps you stay calm when your mind feels chaotic? 💬👇

When you need support or a listening ear, someone to chat with or call, an accountability buddy, or a partner for arts, crafts, or hobbies, who do you turn to? What makes that person feel comforting or safe for you?

If no one comes to mind right now, that’s totally OK. Instead, feel free to share what types of spaces or circumstances help you feel comfortable. What about those environments helps you feel safe to be yourself?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks feels most comfortable around her mom, sister, and the new friends she made this year. It’s taken time for her to feel at ease with others after being hurt growing up, but she’s been brave in opening herself up to new experiences.

Share what comfort in relationships or spaces looks like for you! 💫

There are so many things in life that can weigh you down, but not all of them are yours to carry.
You do not have to fix everyone.
You do not have to solve every problem.
You do not have to pick up every boulder that crosses your path.

Protect your energy.
Choose your battles.
Focus on what brings you peace.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish.
It is how you stay strong enough to do what truly matters.
