Rare Disease

Life has a funny way of convincing us that we’re “too busy” to slow down. We rush through our days, juggling tasks, meetings, and responsibilities, telling ourselves that there’s simply no time to pause. But here's the paradox: The busier we are, the more we actually need stillness.

Being "too busy" is often a sign of being too overwhelmed. When we’re constantly in motion, we lose touch with ourselves. Our thoughts become cluttered, our energy gets drained, and stress sneaks in. It’s in these hectic times that the clarity, calm, and focus that meditation brings are most vital. Think of your mind like water. When it's stirred up, it becomes cloudy, and you can’t see beneath the surface. Meditation is the practice of letting the water settle, allowing you to regain clarity. The more chaos in your life, the more essential it becomes to find that inner stillness. So if you feel too busy today, remember: That’s exactly when you should make the time for mindfulness.

I'd love to hear more about how you can prioritize even a few moments of mindfulness today? Share your thoughts and let’s hold each other accountable to finding peace in the chaos

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about what to do if you want to have a better relationship with your emotions. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Learning lessons can take time, energy, effort, attention, and persistence no matter what aspect of life. Depending on the complexity of the lesson and the circumstances surrounding it, we may need to approach it from different angles and perspectives, take a step back, or even remove ourselves from the picture entirely. The beauty of learning lessons, though, is that once we achieve understanding, we gain the ability to navigate future challenges with greater wisdom and confidence.

A lesson Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks is learning right now is she can't do everything on her own. She's learning how to better manage her time, speak up for herself, and take days off.

What lesson are you learning?

We all have multifaceted lives with a zillion parts that require our attention. But the thing is, we can’t always keep every part organized and that’s OK!

What part of your life do you feel is the most organized right now? What part is the least? (No judgment here!)
