Rare Disease

We all have multifaceted lives with a zillion parts that require our attention. But the thing is, we can’t always keep every part organized and that’s OK!

What part of your life do you feel is the most organized right now? What part is the least? (No judgment here!)

Self-defeating thoughts happen to everyone. Thoughts like “I’m not good enough,” “I’m going to fail,” or “I can’t do this” can easily spiral and hold you back. One powerful way to break that cycle is to externalize the thought and challenge it directly. Write the thought down and begin with “I used to believe…” Then follow it with “But now I believe…” and replace it with a belief that leads to action. This simple shift turns a negative thought into a practical plan for moving forward and reminds your mind that beliefs are not fixed.

What is one negative thought you’ve caught yourself believing lately?

Happy Monday, Mighties!

For this week’s challenge we’ll be focusing on organization. From the personal items in our homes, to our health needs and schedules, to even staying in touch and spending time with family and friends, there are multiple aspects of our lives that may require organization and balance.

When it comes to organizing, where do you fall? Does it come easy as if it’s second nature to you? Or is it more challenging, like a chore?

What does it even mean to be at your “best?” When you live with health conditions (which many of us do), finding balance or a baseline of functionality can look different from day to day and moment to moment. When symptoms are unpredictable or fluctuate, it can be difficult to put a clear definition on what “best” means—especially when how you and your body feel sets the tone for what the day looks like.

One day you might be experiencing a flare, dealing with a symptom trigger, or feeling low in mood, and that can shape what “productivity” and your goals look like. On another day, you may have more energy and feel a boost in motivation.

What factors help you determine what your “best” will look like that day? How do you check in with yourself to decide how to shape your to-do—or not-to-do—list based on your health? How do you find balance and gauge your capacity?

Familial relationships can be complex, even more so for those of us who have experienced some level of trauma/abuse, or who have set boundaries with our immediate or extended biological families for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, this doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t create a family of our own.

A "found family" (also called a "chosen family") is a family we create ourselves with people we meet who help us to feel safe, protected, and loved.

Do you have a "found family?" Tell us about them. What makes your relationships with them great?

Many people spend years chasing happiness as if it is a destination they will eventually arrive at. The problem is that constantly checking whether you are happy often makes you feel the opposite. A healthier approach is to focus on meaningful actions, relationships, and growth. When your attention shifts from searching for happiness to building a life that feels meaningful, happiness often appears as a byproduct rather than a goal.

What is one activity or habit that naturally brings you peace without you having to chase it?

Managing health conditions can be complex and time-consuming.
Understanding your needs and symptoms while balancing daily tasks and schedules to accommodate different aspects of your life and health can add an extra layer of exhaustion.

Not to mention having to explain those complexities, demands, and challenges to others on a regular basis — whether that looks like canceling plans, not being able to show up the way you'd like because of your health, or explaining things to a health professional.

What’s something you’re tired of explaining to others?
