Write something true about yourself.

As people, we are multifaceted, complex, and dynamic, with many truths shaped by our life experiences, perspectives, and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Yes, we live with and navigate different health conditions that greatly impact our lives and daily routines. But we also wear many hats and continuously learn and adapt, which helps shape our identity as humans.

Let’s get to know one another in the comments below by sharing one or more truths about ourselves.

What does it typically mean when you say "I'm tired?"

When you say "I'm tired," it can mean more than just a need for sleep or some kind of rest. It might be physical fatigue or chronic pain, mental or emotional exhaustion, overstimulation, or feeling "stuck." It can also stem from emotional weariness caused by stress, worries, loneliness, annoyance, frustration, or even grief. It’s a simple phrase, but it carries a lot of weight. Sometimes, it’s your way of asking for a break, a moment of calm to collect your thoughts, or extra support to get through a difficult time.

When you say "I'm tired," what does it mean for you?

Got out of bed? Asked for support? Finished the laundry? Bought something just for yourself? Sought a second opinion about your health? Opened up about your feelings and experiences? Decided NOT to do something?

What have you done (or not done) recently that you're proud of, or that has brought you some relief? If you can't think of anything right now, that's OK! Instead, what's one helpful thing you can do for yourself this week?

What’s a superpower you’d benefit from having right now?

Mighties, wouldn’t it be amazing to have a superpower that helps you tackle everyday tasks or reach your goals with more ease—especially during times when your body isn’t cooperating or you’re experiencing a symptom flare?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she’d love the ability to create temporary clones of herself, each one doubling her energy. That way, her main body could rest while still getting things done and replenishing energy at the same time.

What superpower do you wish you had right now? 🦸‍♀️

There are many ways to seek support—whether from family, friends, co-workers, professional resources, nonprofit organizations, helplines, health care providers, or community spaces both online (like The Mighty!) and in person. The type and level of support you seek and accept often depends on how you're feeling emotionally, physically, and mentally at the time.

I want to get better at...

Self-awareness means understanding and recognizing who we are as individuals. When we become more self-aware, it becomes easier to identify areas we can work on, set goals, and make changes or adjustments—big or small—that support our health. This could be something as simple as changing how we talk to ourselves, how we celebrate accomplishments, how we communicate with our doctors and care team, the resources we use to build community, how we organize our schedules, or the everyday choices we make.

What is something you want to actively get better at, and why?

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up to start your day?

Happy new week, Mighty friends! 🗓️

We all have our own routines for how we begin each day. Depending on how well we slept—or didn’t—the night before, and how our body feels in the morning, getting up can require different levels of effort, motivation, or energy.

So, what helps you get out of bed? What’s the first thing you do to start your day?
