Last month was Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Disease Awareness Month. As the years have progressed so has my disability. Little by little I have discovered and figured out different ways to ensure that I live the best life possible as a disabled person. These tips are simple and easy to follow. They can be applied to anyone, not just disabled people. But I try to follow these daily and remind myself that despite my disability and challenges, I deserve a good quality of life like anyone else. I hope these tips help you start living your best life as well.
- Embrace your disability for what it is. Acceptance is key.
- Use whatever walking aids or gadgets that can help you.
- Don't dwell on what you can no longer do.
- Ask for (and accept) help and support.

- Find joy in the things you can do.
- Don't compare yourself to others (or to your past self).
- Set realistic goals—and be patient.
