#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Mighties, March has felt like such a long month for me 😩. My thoughts have been racing for the longest time. I think it's time for me to prioritize some self-care that'll boost my self-confidence.

What usually helps me the most is getting my eyebrows done, getting dressed up, and taking myself out on a solo date. I'll make sure to add that to my to-do list right away 📆✍️.

What about you? What do you do to help boost your self-confidence?

This past month I’ve been listening to so many different types of playlists!

From the playlists I’ve made myself based on my moods or interests, to the algorithmic playlists curated by YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora, to the random ones I find when I click on a new artist — I’ve found so many new songs or old classics to listen to. I think my favorite one has to be the 90s playlist YouTube suggested for me this month. I just love it! 🎶😌

What type of playlists are your jam?

Who doesn’t love a good quote? I know I do 🙋, especially on the days I need an encouraging word or piece of advice to keep moving myself forward.

One of my favorite quotes is not something I read online or something someone else said, but what I kept reminding myself every day since 2016 — "It’s OK for me to gentle with myself and the journey I’m on."

What’s yours?

Whether it’s finding a better system to store your food, or taking unused clothes or shoes to be donated; to readjusting your furniture so you can move around your home more comfortably, different actions can be taken to simplify your living space — especially if you find you want to make some changes but don’t exactly know where to start.

What would simplify your living space and make it more comfortable for you?

Mighty staffers have lots of options about New Year’s resolutions, but you know what we can all agree on? That goal-setting is a good practice at ANY point in the year — as long as it’s approached from this perspective: no goal is too small or silly, and goals should be encouraged to change.

That being said, set a snackable goal with us today! What are you looking to accomplish today, this week, next month?

💪 P.S. Not hitting a goal doesn’t make you a failure because pivoting is a natural part of life.

I'm not even sure if that makes sense, I'm not really sure of anything right now!today I was told that my urgent referral to get the swollen lump lymph node in my neck may take upto 6 weeks !ive had it since Sept last uear and was palmed off numeroustimes till last week my specialistsaid she was very concerned(and that is being classed as urgent)Due to my previous cancer and treatment before Covid hit and now to the way this is being handled and considering I had Covid and was hospitalised for nearly 6 weeks and since have been suffering Long covid issues I know how serious it is.But I felt so angry that I'm already dealing with all my usual issues,then this catheter in,still retaining, slipped disc so on crutches to get about and everyday and night I am worried sick about if this lump is serious !and now thinking I may have to feel like this for however many weeks/months and then even if it is serious the care at the moment chemo/treatments most people are having to wait months to get anything started due to the way it's all been since covid.I am angry at my body for failing me in the first place ,for getting to this ,I'm angry at having to feel like I'm begging someone to help or listen ,I feel like I've prepared for the worst now anyways and what hope is there to have !I know hospitals and staff have and do do their best and I'm not saying anything against that I'm just frustrated that myself and millions of others and people way worse off than me are suffering even more even when it's serious or terminal. I'm scared ,I'm angry ,I'm frustrated and then I just feel numb because right now I'm here and I'm a Mummy I have to just be as ok as I can which is difficult enough at the minute ........

If you have to take prescription medication to manage your health symptoms (there’s no shame in that!), sometimes those prescriptions can be very expensive depending on your health insurance plan and how many medications you have to take.

To alleviate some of those costs and make it more manageable to get the medication you need, prescription discount services like GoodRx can be super helpful. (Mighty staffer Kat recommends using their mobile app!)

What have your experiences been like with prescription cost-cutting services? Did they help you save money? Or were they too much work for what the benefits ended up being?
