Rare Disease

It’s easy to take things personally when someone cuts you off, says something sharp, or seems careless. Your mind instantly turns it into an attack and labels them as rude or bad. But think about how many times you have been lost in your own thoughts, stressed, overwhelmed, or dealing with something heavy, and accidentally bumped into someone or said something without thinking. Most people are fighting their own mental battles that you will never see. Practicing understanding instead of reacting does not excuse bad behavior, but it frees you from carrying unnecessary anger. The more you let people be human, the more peace you create for yourself. What helps you pause before reacting when someone triggers you?

As we march forward in our growth journeys, let's also honor and appreciate those who have supported us along the way.

From a community like The Mighty to a family member or therapist, who would you say has supported you the most? What does that support look like?

Meditation is not about having a quiet mind, it is about learning not to be pushed around by every thought that appears. When you stop fighting your thoughts and start observing them, they lose their power over your emotions and behavior. This shift can change how you experience stress, anxiety, and sadness in everyday life. Have you ever noticed how different a thought feels once you stop believing it automatically?

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.

Letting go of something you’re holding onto—whether literally or figuratively—can be challenging and complex, no matter what it is or how much time has passed. We understand how hard this can be, so there’s absolutely no judgment here. 🙋🏻

What has your experience with “letting go” been like? Do you find it easy, or does it depend on the situation? If you’ve learned how to let things go in a way that works for you, what helped you get there? What tips or insights would you share with others?

Drum roll, please! 🥁

Today is a very special day, Mighty warriors! We're entering challenge 52 of our 52 Small Things weekly self-care program of 2025! We did it! 💃 We're so proud and honored to have made this journey with you over the past year.

Let’s talk about growth this week. From minor to major changes that happen over a span of time, to everyday decision-making that affects how we view the world; growth looks different for everyone. What does it look like for you?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks shared that growth, for her, looks like loosening her grip on past pain and taking things less personally. She feels much better when she prioritizes herself and what helps her feel safe, rather than worrying about everything and everyone else around her.

What about you? Finish today’s sentence below. 🌱

When your mind feels stressed or foggy, it is often because you never truly pause. Staring at screens for hours trains your nervous system to stay tense, even when you think you are pushing through productively. This simple exercise helps reset that pattern by giving your eyes and mind a moment of openness. Every ten minutes, take ten seconds to look at something about ten feet away, not your phone but the space around you. Looking up instead of down creates distance from the task and reminds your mind that what you are working on is not as overwhelming as it feels. Small pauses like this can bring more calm, clarity, and focus than forcing yourself to keep going. Have you ever noticed how much better you feel after even a brief break?

Most people are never fully here.
Their mind is already chasing the next moment, the next solution, the next version of life where everything finally feels okay.

There is a quiet belief running in the background that says,
“This moment isn’t important. The next one will be better.”

But life does not happen later.
It only ever happens now.

When you are constantly waiting for the next moment, you miss your own life while it is unfolding.
You miss small moments of calm.
You miss relief that is already available.
You miss the fact that right now is survivable, even if it is imperfect.

Healing does not happen in the future.
Peace does not live in tomorrow.
They are practiced in this moment, exactly as it is.

The present moment is not standing in your way.
It is the only place your life actually exists.

How often do you catch yourself waiting for life to start later.
What would change if you let this moment be enough, just for a minute?

Let’s talk positive coping strategies and self-soothing techniques today!

When we’ve had a tiring, stressful, or overwhelming day, knowing how to best practice self-care and comfort ourselves can make all the difference —especially when figuring out the ways that effectively help us unwind and recharge.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks likes to lay in silence in her dim-lit room, with all of her pillows surrounding her for comfort. It helps her to reground and re-energize.

How do you comfort yourself at the end of an exhausting day?
