Rare Disease

As the week winds down and the weekend approaches, let’s take a moment to think about which part of our lives could use a little extra time, space, care, focus, or consideration. Maybe it’s your relationships or routines, your priorities or goals, your finances, work-life balance, physical or mental health — or perhaps your spirituality. Whatever it may be, allow it to take center stage in the days ahead. 🌷

What area of your life is calling for more attention right now?

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. 💖

When you live with a chronic health condition, recovery time is important — especially when your spoons were limited to begin with and your body needs time and space to recharge.

What activities drain your energy the most? How long does it take your body to recover? What does your spoon calculator look like after a busy day?

There are so many different ways you can process your feelings, emotions, and experiences. There is writing, of course, but let’s use today to brainstorm OTHER methods you find helpful in self-reflection.

Some examples could be drawing, taking a walk, or perhaps even talking to a therapist, friend, or trusted love one. Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks does her best thinking when she’s talking with her therapist or her mom. These conversations help her gain a different perspective and think things through more clearly.

What do you find helpful?

The hardest part of being human isn’t surviving pain, it’s staying kind and open-hearted while you do.

When you witness cruelty, injustice, or ignorance, your mind wants to fight, to fix, to carry it all.

But if you let that weight settle inside you, it will dim your light.

Staying peaceful in a world that often isn’t doesn’t mean ignoring what’s wrong. It means learning to meet it with awareness instead of anger. To act from clarity, not chaos.

You don’t heal the world by letting it break you. You heal it by becoming the calm within it; the light that doesn’t go out.

What helps you stay grounded when everything feels too heavy?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
