Rare Disease

Hi Mighties! 💜

Happy Friday! Another week has flown by, and we’ve checked it off on our Mighty calendars. 🗓️

What’s on your agenda for the weekend? Do you have any plans in mind?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks plans to spend Saturday shopping with her mom and hopes to dedicate Sunday to rest and relaxation.

What about you? We’d love to hear about your plans!

Now that we’ve explored journaling as a self-care tool — thank you for sharing, by the way! — let’s take a moment to put it all into action and write. ✍️

In the comments below, in your own 52 Small Things post, or in a journal, write a few lines about anything that’s been on your mind. This can be something that’s been challenging for you, a health update you want to share with the community (or keep record of), a list of words that describe how you’re feeling, or something you’ve been working on and are proud of yourself for.

Feel free to be as creative or as structured as you like. 💖

The Owl 🦉: I need support right now because...

The Peacock 🦚: Something challenging I'm learning to overcome this year is...

The Swan 🦢: Progress to me means...

I'll go first!

I choose the peacock. 🦚

Something challenging I’m learning to overcome this year is understanding my limits and recognizing that it’s okay to say "no." I’m also learning to be kinder and more patient with myself.

💌 Sending love to my Mighty family today!

Speaking up, sharing how we feel, and expressing our thoughts and concerns to our doctors, caregivers, families, and friends is essential for advocating for ourselves and our health. We deserve care, compassion, and treatment that support our recovery and well-being. After all, no one knows our bodies and minds better than we do, and our voices are powerful tools for creating the change and support we need.

When was a time you were a strong advocate for your health? How did it make you feel?

Share your thoughts and experiences below! 💌

Please remember to give yourself permission to be exactly where you are in life. Whether things are as you want them to be or not, they will change. Rest in this space, where you are right now, and know that you can use every moment of your whole life as one big mental health exercise to practice being at peace with yourself. Does anyone practice keeping yourself in the present moment instead of letting thoughts drift you away? How do you do this?

The last mental health video response I made was about how to explain or justify your actions to others. If this sounds useful to you, you can check out the video here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group or comment below and I will make a video response specifically for you.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~
