#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Hi Mighties! 🫶

The start of a new week can be a great time to pause, reset, and think about what we want to prioritize in the days ahead.

What’s one personal goal you’d like to set for yourself this week? Why is that goal important to you?

Life in general is complex and multifaceted, especially when you live with one or more health conditions. This doesn’t mean, however, that EVERY aspect of our lives has to be at the same level of complexity. It can definitely be beneficial to simplify one or more areas to add balance and a little bit of breathing room.

From cleaning to your weekend schedule to your weekly meal plan, what areas in your life could use a little makeover?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that area is her personal goals and time management. She’s found that because she has a lot going on she sometimes gets overwhelmed, procrastinates, or has a hard time sleeping.

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?

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!
