Caregiving

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 @xokat is going to try to catch up on a few loads of laundry, drop off her library books, pick up her prescriptions from the pharmacy, and restock on a few groceries.

What about you?

Mighty staffer @xokat recently heard about something called the “intention cycle” — here are the five phases of it: Choose a word or phrase, set an intention around it, create specific goals, establish a routine to achieve those goals, and form good habits to keep it going.

Is this something you practice regularly? Does doing something intentionally give you a framework to make positive changes in your life or do you feel like it puts too much pressure on you? (Both experiences are valid, by the way!)

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?

Whether it’s a high pain day, a low mental health day, or a just-released-from-the-hospital day, having “plan B meals” can help take one thing off your plate… er, put something on your plate?

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week our theme is harmonize.

We often hear the phrase “harmonize” when we’re referring to the synchronization or blending of music or video to create pleasant sounds and visual effects, but what does harmonizing mean when it comes to self-care?

Just like with blending, balancing, or combining sounds and melodies that work together in oneness to create music to make a song; when we live in harmony with ourselves and with others, we are introducing balance and “togetherness” so we are on the path that feels most right to us. Harmony with ourselves can look like knowing and accepting who we are, making decisions that are most beneficial to us, walking in our purpose, and living in our truths.

And in order to reach a state of harmony in our lives, it’s important to identify where we derive the most meaning and purpose so we can continue to nurture those connections, environments, and responsibilities. Is it caring for your family that brings meaning? Your career? A specific skill or duty? Your faith?
