#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Change can be challenging sometimes, but once that first step is made in the right direction, more doors can be opened. Hello, possibility. Hello, opportunity!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has recently started expressing her thoughts, ideas, and perspective more openly to those around her, especially her new therapist. She has found that sharing helps her feel heard and understood.

Hi Mighty fam! ✨

The word of the week for me is "balance." Lately, I've noticed a build-up of thoughts, habits, and coping strategies that could use some adjusting, so I can feel more energized and less weighed down by unrealistic expectations and challenges that feel suffocating.

To find that balance, I'm going to tip the scale by adding more intention and doing things that boost my motivation and curiosity, like reading, talking with friends, and reaching out to collaborate with people who care about me. On the other side of the scale, I could use less of the negative thoughts and limiting beliefs I have around failure and comparison. I can also take pressure off myself by letting go of the idea that I need to finish every task on my list, and instead adjusting my capacity to what my body actually needs, not some unattainable standard.

What about you? How can you tip the scale to feel more balanced in your daily routine?

Happy Monday, Mighties! 💌

Our topic this week is something we’ve all had to experience one way or another: change.

Like it or not, every day we are presented with decisions to make — some big, some small. And with every decision comes the opportunity or possibility of change.

For the vast majority of us here on The Mighty, our health plays a huge and important part in our decision-making process, and therefore is subject to influence the changes we make — whether it’s voluntarily or out of necessity — for ourselves. These changes can look like leaving a job, drastically changing our lifestyle, or setting new boundaries.

What’s a change you’ve had to make because of your health?
