When you’ve lived with chronic illness—diagnosed or otherwise—there may be certain symptoms you become used to managing or even expecting, especially if they’ve been present for a long time or for as long as you can remember. For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks , that symptom is insomnia or irregular sleep patterns. While it remains one of the most challenging symptoms to balance, she’s learned to recognize when she needs extra support.

What’s a symptom you’re used to managing, or one you’ve lived with the longest?

When we talk and share with others—giving and receiving advice or exchanging ideas—we can sometimes drift into hypothetical scenarios and idealized ways of accomplishing tasks, following through with plans, or achieving intentions and goals. This can be especially true when we’re talking with people who may not fully understand the depth of our lived experience.

While it would be amazing to accomplish everything we set out to do, we know all too well that our current health, mindset, energy level, and a myriad of other circumstances can get in the way. Things change, and we often have to adjust accordingly. Even if something makes sense in theory, real-life circumstances can make it much more challenging to follow through.

So, what’s something you find "easier said than done" right now or even in general?

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌅

We all deserve to treat ourselves to the things we enjoy—whether that looks like binging a 10-season show, snacking on our favorite ice cream, buying that item we’ve always wanted, taking a day just for ourselves, or spending an afternoon at the spa. Whatever it is, and in whatever capacity we can manage, it’s OK to show ourselves love by making space for experiences that bring us joy.

What’s your favorite way to treat yourself? 💛

As we get to know our bodies and minds better, the habits we build to support our health become part of a sustainable toolkit—one we can rely on during flares, pain, and other symptoms related to our health conditions.

What habits worked for you last year that you plan to carry forward this year? Why was that habit helpful? In what ways could you modify it to make it more sustainable in the long run?

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🏵️

Every year around this time, there’s a lot of conversation about New Year’s resolutions and intentional goal-setting. While these can be motivating for some, they can also create an unspoken pressure to change parts of our lives—whether or not we have the energy, stamina, or motivation to turn those goals into sustainable habits.

Often, once the “holiday hype” fades, we may find ourselves returning to what feels safest and most comfortable, regardless of the resolutions we’ve made. This can sometimes add feelings of guilt or grief to the goal-setting process.

So let’s take a moment to reflect on what feels better and more supportive for us during this season. Instead of resolutions, what feels more feasible and manageable for you right now?
And if resolutions do work for you, what’s your approach—and why does it fit your lifestyle?
