#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Mighties, one of the biggest challenges I've faced for as long as I can remember has been recognizing when my body is stressed and understanding the best ways to release that stress so I don't end up feeling even more fatigued or anxious.

As I've learned more about my body, I've realized that I tend to hold stress in my shoulders, chest, and lower back. Body scans have been helpful for increasing my awareness, and I've also found it beneficial to intentionally pause, take a breath, and slow down when life feels especially busy or overwhelming.

Where do you tend to feel stress in your body? What techniques, methods, or routines have helped you release it?

Feel free to share your insights and experiences below! 💙

It’s poetry writing time. ☺️✒️

For today’s challenge, write a five-line poem about how you’re feeling today. You’re free to write in whatever style or structure feels right to you, there are no rules! If you need some inspiration, here are some examples: you could write a free verse, acrostic, imagery, or lyric poem.

Here is @sparklywartanks poem:

Even as she opens her eyes with sunrise, she pushes through.

Her voice, a beacon of light. Her best, enough, as she gently soothes her inner critic.

One moment at a time—fleeting, like a race car finally crossing the finish line.

She can't wait for her Friday finish line.

Maybe then she'll get a full night's rest, and her mind will finally quiet down.
