Rare Disease

Physical health diets and exercises are just as important as mental health ones. When we eat poorly, we feel sluggish, weak, and sometimes can't sleep. The same thing happens to our mind. If you feel this way, I'd recommend evaluating what sorts of things you are consuming mentally.

Consider if you are engaging in too much social media, online shopping, arguing, negative news, gossip, or anything else that doesn't settle well with you. What would be a good way for you to cleanse your mental health diet and be more healthy?

Hi, Mighty fam! 🌷

Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks is experiencing mixed emotions. On one hand, she's excited for the warmer weather and sunshine. On the other, she's noticing an increase in feelings of loneliness and sadness—something that's not entirely new to her but still unfortunate, especially since she loves spring and is relieved to ditch her heavy coat.

Can anyone relate? How do seasonal transitions affect your mental health? Which season impacts you the most? Which season do you look forward to?

First things first: It’s impactful, powerful, and brave to share what you’ve experienced in your life. But here’s the next question on our minds: Are you telling your story in a way that’s resonating the way you want? Has your audience grasped what you’ve shared and taken in the message you want to convey?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wants people to understand the importance of self-care, support, and community in moments of isolation and crisis.

What takeaway do you want others to walk away with when it comes to your story?

How many times have you been upset with someone—not because they did something wrong, but because they didn’t know what you wanted?

Misunderstandings often come from unspoken expectations. We assume others can read between the lines, but the truth is, clear and honest communication is key. Being open about what you need isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. When you communicate with honesty and kindness, people will respect you more and respond in kind.

We've reached our mid-week check-in, Mighties! 🛬

Sometimes, the right words can lift our spirits or give us a much-needed boost of motivation, even if just for a moment.

What words do you need to hear today?

Sharing your story can make you feel a lot of things — overwhelmed, intimidated, liberated, and/or rewarded depending on where you are in your health or recovery journey. It can also feel like all the adjectives above at once.

Everyone has different levels of comfort and needs in times of vulnerability, and both parties can benefit from the telling or receiving of what you have to say.

When you are sharing your story, what do you need from the person or audience that’s listening to you? What would help you to feel safe and comfortable?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says when she shares her story, she needs the audience to listen quietly and empathetically — and not try to interject. She feels most safe when she has the space to think through what she’s saying and finish sharing her thoughts thoroughly.

Progress isn’t about speed, it’s about persistence. Even the smallest steps forward bring you closer to where you want to be. Some days will be harder than others, but what matters is that you keep going. Trust the process, be patient with yourself, and remember that consistency is more powerful than perfection.

What’s one small step you’re taking toward your goals today?
