Rare Disease

This geranium doesn't want to quit lasted two winters. Probably my favorite kind because of the vibrant contrast in color. Hope everyone can find some peace in nature when you get a chance 🙂#DegenerativeDiscDisease #MentalHealth #MuscularDystrophy #Anxiety #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #Disability #Depression #RareDisease #CervicalRadiculopathy #Lumbarfusion #MuscleDysfunction

Many people feel mentally overwhelmed because their thoughts never get processed, they just keep looping. Journaling works because it does the same thing talking to a trusted person does. It helps you externalize your thoughts so you can understand them instead of being buried by them. Simple practices like a five minute brain dump, a short gratitude list, or writing to your future self can reduce mental clutter and increase clarity over time. You do not need to be consistent or good at writing for this to help. You just need to start. Which of these journaling practices feels like the easiest place for you to begin?

As we adjust, change, and revisit our daily, weekly, or monthly to-do lists, there are tasks, responsibilities, or goals that naturally rise to the top as priorities—whether because of the time of year or other life factors. Whether they’re health- or self-care–related, or part of our “adulting” duties, what’s something currently on your “need to get to” priority list?

When reflecting on our own personal strengths, there are two lenses we can look through: the ones we’ve only recently developed, and the strengths we’ve practiced over time. The strengths and skills that fall into that latter category are a reflection of your growth!

Let’s think back to the past five years. What’s something you can do now that you’d never thought you’d be able to do back then? 🤔

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks said her strength is consistently and intentionally loving herself, considering herself and her needs, and growing in self-awareness.

Most people think mental strength comes from controlling their thoughts, but real progress happens when you stop treating every thought as urgent or true. By pausing, labeling thoughts as mental events, and redirecting attention back to the body or the present moment, you interrupt the automatic cycle that fuels anxiety and emotional spirals. This is a skill that gets easier with repetition, not perfection. Even a few moments of not following a thought can give your nervous system relief. Which thought do you notice pulling you in the most lately?

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.

Ah, guilt. It can be a difficult feeling to navigate and process, and it can show up in many different circumstances. When living with one or more health conditions, guilt can surface in ways that affect how we interact with ourselves and those around us.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has felt an immense amount of guilt when she is struggling and needs extra support. At times, it makes her feel like she is burdening others with her recurring symptoms. She wants to release the guilt that comes with having to rely on others. It is OK for her to receive support whenever she needs it.

What is something you want to release guilt around?

💌 Gentle note: You are worthy of love, community, support, recovery, and relief, no matter what guilt tells you. Sending lots of hugs! 💛

When you have a physical and/or mental health condition, sometimes you have to learn to adjust, adapt, and build certain types of strengths in order to manage the changing demands of your health needs. (This flexibility is what makes us Mighty FOR SURE! 💪)

What’s a strength that your health "forced" you to develop?
