If you could create your own love language based on your health needs, what would it be?

On a fundamental level, we all have different needs because our life experiences are unique to each of us.

And for those of us here on The Mighty who have an added layer of health conditions to take into consideration, those needs may change or fluctuate depending on each day. Our love languages, in turn, may also be affected.

If you can create your own love language based on your health needs, what would it be?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks love language would be open and engaging conversations, and patience with one another.

How has your sleep been this month? 😴

Hi Mighties! 💫

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has been having more trouble than usual getting enough hours of sleep, especially since Daylight Saving Time a few weeks ago.

How has your sleep been? What challenges have you been facing? What has been helping you sleep better?

How do you like to show love to others?

When we talk about love languages, we often focus on the different ways we would like to receive or be shown love from others, but it can also extend to the ways we like to show love to others as well (because it’s important for relationships to be reciprocal, too!).

Either using the love languages themselves or with your own examples, share how you like to show love in the comments below.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks likes to show love using words of affirmation and appreciation, creative quality time, and also making or buying gifts to share with others.

Share about a creative project that meant something to you.

We’re on post 3️⃣ of exploring how creativity shows up in our lives, our health, and our overall well-being.

Today, let’s talk about the impact of the creative process and the projects we’ve worked on or created that truly mean something to us.

💌 Gentle note: Feel free to share projects that are still a work in progress, ones that were started but not finished, ideas you have, completed pieces you’re proud of, gifts you’ve made for others or yourself, or ongoing passion projects.

If you look at my name here on The Mighty, you’ll see SparklyWarTanks—the name of my blog, but also the name I gave to a major shift in my awareness and health back in 2015. I was experiencing a mental health crisis, and while grappling with my sense of self in a writing class I was taking at the time, that name came to me.

I was pushing against the norms and expectations I grew up with and wanted to become something different. I felt like I was in a battle with myself—my mind and my place in the world.

SparklyWarTanks became the gentle, compassionate, yet bold part of me that fought back, spoke up, and chose herself.
It’s been 11 years since then, and I still use my blog as a safe space to talk about my health, growth, challenges, and progress. I’m proud of staying true to myself. SparklyWarTanks is me. 🌟

Yes, my love language has changed over time.
No, my love language has stayed the same.
Unsure, I’ve never thought about it!
