Rare Disease

While we may all experience our symptoms differently and manage our health in various ways, tracking symptoms can be a valuable tool for some. It can help us notice patterns, identify triggers, and provide clearer insights to health care providers. For others, however, tracking may feel overwhelming, difficult to keep up with, or even increase anxiety.

What’s your experience? Do you find symptom tracking helpful, or do you prefer other methods of managing your health?

Let us know "true" or "false" below. ⬇️

Being alone with your thoughts can be an overwhelming sensation at times — especially in those moments when distractions are at an all-time high, or processing them doesn’t feel super safe or accessible. Whether it be due to a health condition, external circumstances, or all of the above, having a way to get through those tough moments is important.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks finds it hardest to be alone with her thoughts when she’s having limiting beliefs and things around her don’t seem like they would change. Journaling is important to her because it allows her to explore the things she can do for herself that can help her find a sense of relief.

When do you find it hardest to be alone with your thoughts? What are some things you do or can do that would be helpful in processing those thoughts?

🫰And just like that… we’re already starting a new self-care challenge! This week’s prompts will be all about journaling. ✍️

Whether it’s with pen and loose paper, on a notes/journaling app, in a Word or Google doc, or drawing or doodling in a pretty notebook — there are many different ways you can journal.

Some may find journaling especially helpful in processing their thoughts and emotions, but this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Since all brains are different, you may actually find it to be a chore or challenging to keep up with!

What is your experience? Do you find journaling helpful for your mental, or even your physical, health?

Peaked by Melanie R.

I looked to the hills where great mountains stand.
For all of my help is from God’s righteous hand.
They reach to the heavens as they do declare,
the signs of His wonder,
His glory, and care.

The height of His Majest-
My Rock,
cornerstone.
Atop there with Him,
I’m sheltered…
I’m home.

The Rock that was thrown down;
rejected,
then rolled…
now holds me together,
shows mysteries unknown.

Mt. Tabor’s prominence,
Mt. Carmel stood tall,
proving there’s One God
that reigns over all.

In His holy mountain,
with Him by my side,
in hearing His word
growing faith-
I abide.

The gush of the water that came from the stone,
Rained living water;
restoring me whole.

Psalm 121:1-2
I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help comes from? My help comes from The Lord who made heaven and earth.

1 Corinthians 10:4
All drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

Isaiah 41:10
…I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Stay strong Mighty Warriors!
God bless and be with you all on your health journey!
