#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

When your mood dips, it can be helpful to have some go-to self-care techniques and practices up your sleeve so you can get on solid ground again. This can look like going outside, talking to friends and loved ones, playing video games, being creative, or even taking a break from your responsibilities.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says her go-to technique is to watch her favorite comfort shows as well as to eat her favorite snacks.

Happy September, Mighties! 🌟

We've already reached this far into the year! There have definitely been ups, downs, twists, and turns, but that doesn't stop us from setting new intentions, aspirations, or creating opportunities for ourselves.

Whether it's related to your health and treatment, visiting a place you've always wanted to go, tackling a task you've been putting off, having a conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a while, finishing a project you've been working on, starting a new one that's been stirring in your mind, or creating a routine that feels best for your body—what's something you want to get to by the end of this year?

Because we are individuals who have emotions, are multifaceted, and have different experiences, our moods can be affected by various things.

Some people may find that their mood is affected by the weather, certain emotional triggers, or the events that are happening around them; while others may find that their mood fluctuates as a symptom of their health condition — maybe even all the above.

What do you think your mood is most affected by?

This week’s 52 Small Things challenge is a mood (no really, the theme is "moods"). 🤣

Whether we’re happy, sad, lonely, grateful, depressed, hopeful, or stressed, it can be helpful to record our feelings in order to gauge our emotional well-being over a specific period of time. Tracking our moods can also help with seeing patterns and checking in with ourselves regularly.

But while some may find this technique fulfilling and helpful, others may consider it a chore and would rather take each day as it comes.

What is your preference? Do you track your moods on a regular basis?

✏️ P.S. If you find the above statement to be true, let us know how you track your moods in the comments below! We also have our very own mood tracking group on The Mighty. Check it out here: Mighty Mood Tracking
