What positive coping strategy has been helping you most lately?

Hi Mighties! 🌱

It’s been a bit of a tough few weeks for my brain. I’ve been taking in a lot of new information, carrying an increased load of responsibilities, adjusting to the seasonal shift (I tend to experience seasonal depression in the warmer months), and my birthday is coming up. None of these things are inherently negative, but they’ve felt overwhelming nonetheless.

I’m learning how to take better care of myself, especially since I haven’t been prioritizing it lately, which led to a panic attack this past weekend. I’m trying to incorporate more “me time” in ways that don’t feel like added chores. Lately, that’s looked like reading more and rewatching my favorite shows and cartoons.

What positive coping strategies have been helping you feel more balanced or manage your symptoms lately?

Write about a time you made an unexpected connection that positively affected you.

Isn't the best when you make a connection with someone and have a positive experience doing so?

Let's end the week by sharing those refreshing moments of connection below. 👇

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks remembers the first time she began facilitating creative workshops. She didn't expect so many people to attend and enjoy the activities she created. The experience felt great!

I often feel drained after spending time with...

Making, having, and maintaining connections is important, but it can all be a bit draining. 🫠 This is especially true for those of us who have a limited number of spoons to go around. (BTW, there's definitely no shame in needing to prioritize yourself.)

What social situations make you feel the most drained?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks feels the most drained after spending time with large groups of people. She prefers a smaller group or just people she's already comfortable with.

This is Cookie. She's a wild bunny that my mother rescued as a newborn. Feeding her some flowers and wondering... have you eaten today? Have you had some water? Have you taken your medication(s)? Just a friendly reminder to check in with yourself and listen to your needs today. Hope you're doing well out there 💜
