TRUE or FALSE: Reflection helps me to process my emotions effectively.

Happy Monday, Mighties!

Let’s march forward into this week's self-care theme! We'll be focusing on ✨ reflection ✨.

Whether we’re setting aside some intentional alone time, talking to someone about our experiences, or figuring out what techniques and strategies are best for us to express how we feel, finding out the ways that are most effective in helping us to process our emotions are important.

What are your thoughts on reflection? Do you find reflection to be a positive coping strategy for you?

Letter to My Parents

I don’t know
how to name you
without flinching.

You gave me life,
and taught me
how to survive it.

You fed me.
You clothed me.
You kept the lights on.

You did not teach me
how to rest
inside myself.

I learned early
how to be capable
instead of comforted,
how to be quiet
instead of held.

Sometimes
I defend you.
Sometimes
I resent you
for the pieces
I had to assemble
alone.

I call it love
because it never left.
I call it grief
because it never healed.

The hardest part
is not the harm.

It’s that I still needed you
long after I learned
not to ask.

The child
who waited
is still here—
living inside the adult
who knows better
than to hope.

What’s on your “need to get to” list?

As we adjust, change, and revisit our daily, weekly, or monthly to-do lists, there are tasks, responsibilities, or goals that naturally rise to the top as priorities—whether because of the time of year or other life factors. Whether they’re health- or self-care–related, or part of our “adulting” duties, what’s something currently on your “need to get to” priority list?

What’s something that has surprised you as you’ve learned more about your mental health?

Growing up, I had little knowledge or understanding of what it meant to take care of my mental health—that is, until I had to make it a priority. Even now, it still surprises me how much effort, support, energy, and confidence it takes to remain resilient. Sometimes I feel incredibly tired and exhausted from keeping up with my treatment and care.

What about you?
What’s something you’ve found surprising?

Feel free to share your thoughts below. 🙂
