Describe yourself in 10 words.

What's a self-care challenge without writing a list, right? Today, let’s each write down the 10 words we would use to describe ourselves. They could be personality traits, admirable qualities, really important hobbies, or health conditions that feel integral to your identity.

If you made a “starter pack” to help others get to know you better, what would you put in it?

Let’s imagine a world where every new person you meet — who you have the desire to build some sort of lasting connection with — receives a “starter pack” to get to know you better right out of the gate… no conversation needed.

What important items, words, or ideas would you find most helpful so others could understand you better?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks shared that she would add a comfy pillow, a journal with reflection prompts, the word "free" and "peace," tea bags, a cup full of affirmations, a picture of the ocean, crystals, and the books she's reading right now.

Introduce yourself and why you joined The Mighty!

Happy Monday, Mighties! New week, new self-care theme: identity. 😊 Let's start off this week's challenge with a get-to-know-you exercise.

In the comments below, share a little bit about yourself and why you joined The Mighty. 💖

Here is Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks Mighty intro:

Hi! My name is Nina. I'm a mental health advocate, creative, and I love to write and reflect, especially on my blog where I share my mental health journey. I'm the community manager and lead content creator here on The Mighty. I joined The Mighty back in 2016/2017 after I graduated college and was struggling to manage my depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The Mighty not only helped me to find my voice, but it also helped me find a community of support when I felt most alone and I'm tremendously grateful.

What small actions can you take today to make it easier for you to relax this weekend?

Time for rest and relaxation is important! Let’s prepare to take it easy (if possible, even for a moment) for the weekend by getting some tasks, responsibilities, or chores out of the way.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks will make sure to tidy up her room and complete her work so she can mentally and physically rest during the weekend.

What about you?

________ would help me feel more calm about my health.

When you live with a physical and/or mental health condition, it can be challenging to manage the demands, needs, and treatment that come with it. Reaching a state of calm and balance may mean taking intentional steps or seeking help if necessary. (Or it may even look like getting answers!)

What would help you feel more calm about your health?

Spend a little time outside today. Write about what you see, feel, and smell.

Harmony isn’t just about how we interact with ourselves and others, but also how we interact with the world and our surrounding environments — both natural and man-made — as well. Today, let’s take a mindful moment, get some fresh air, and share what we experience. 🌇

✍️ When you go outdoors take a note of what you see, feel, and smell.

Share with us what you’ve captured in the comments below! 🌟
