Mondays are a fresh start, a new chance to set the tone for the week ahead. Whether you are on artificial nutrition (AN), caring for someone who is, or supporting a loved one, today is about recognizing your strength and resilience. Your journey may not be easy, but every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.

You Are Stronger Than You Think

Living with a feeding tube or managing artificial nutrition can be challenging. There are good days and tough days, moments of frustration, and times when you wonder if anyone truly understands. But through it all, you continue to show up, adapt, and persevere. That is the definition of true strength.

Every Step Counts

Some days, simply getting through the day is an achievement. Other times, you might accomplish something big, learning a new skill, advocating for yourself, or helping someone else in their journey. No matter where you are, every small step forward matters. Celebrate your progress, and give yourself credit for the things you do, even when they feel small.

You Are Not Alone

For those on AN and their loved ones, the journey can sometimes feel isolating. But remember, there is a whole community out there who understands. Reach out, share your experiences, and know that you are part of something bigger. Support from friends, family, and others walking a similar path can make all the difference.
