Rare Disease

We spend so much energy trying to look or be a certain way.
To be beautiful, impressive, admired, or accepted.

Realness has its own kind of beauty — the kind that doesn’t fade when you’re tired or sad or unsure.

It’s the way you show up even when you feel messy.
It’s the way you care when it would be easier not to.
It’s the courage to be honest instead of perfect.

You don’t need to chase beauty.
You just need to come home to yourself.

What part of yourself do you want to stop hiding and start embracing? 👇

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.

Our topic for this week's self-care challenge is self-advocacy.

When talking about advocacy, we're referring to the skills and understanding to know one's needs and openly and effectively communicate those needs to others, whether that be for ourselves or on behalf of those around us.

How do you feel about self-advocacy? Do you find it easier to advocate for yourself or for others?

A friend recently sent me a song from YouTube, it was a girl who was sharing about how alone and isolating it can feel being chronically ill. which believe me I 100% understand . But listening to that song I prayed that this isn’t what people think of when they think of my life . Becuase I don’t …. Hardships come in every shape and form , but so does beauty. And through it all ( the pain , illness , icu stays , more appointments and procedures than I can count ) I still believe I live a truly beautiful life #RareDisease #chronicillnes #Spoonie

Most people are waiting for life to finally settle down before they allow themselves to be happy. But that moment never comes. There will always be another challenge, another deadline, another reason to delay your peace. True strength comes from learning to stay calm while life is still messy. You don’t need to wait for everything to be perfect before you feel good again.

Start today.
Start where you are.
You can still choose peace right now.

Out of everyone we spend time with in our lives, we spend the most with ourselves. And how we speak, treat, and interact with our own minds and hearts influences our self-perception (and usually our self-esteem, too).

This also means we have the ability to change how we feel about ourselves at any given time. Whether it’s your negative self-talk or your lack of confidence at work, what’s a perspective you have about yourself that you want to improve?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wants to grow in the perspective that she is deserving of love, friendship, and companionship from others just for being herself.

Reaching December always stirs up a lot of thoughts for me. As I write this, I'm imagining myself sitting under the moonlight with the year's lessons rolling past me like movie credits. One thing that keeps coming up is what I want to move on from.

I want to move on from the version of me that holds too tightly to experiences that hurt. I’m ready to let them go now. I want to learn what I need to learn — and then let go just as gracefully.

What's something you want to move on from or let go of?

It’s been a long year — one we can both archive and move on from, but also revisit when we need to reflect on what stood out for us.

What’s something important this year has taught you, helped you see differently, or clarified for you? Why was that experience, lesson, or moment of introspection meaningful? What made it stick with you?

Share your year-end takeaways below!
