Hi Mighties! 💫

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has been having more trouble than usual getting enough hours of sleep, especially since Daylight Saving Time a few weeks ago.

How has your sleep been? What challenges have you been facing? What has been helping you sleep better?

Feel free to share with us below! 🌙

When you think about the passage of time and how life experiences shape your perception of the present moment, feelings like nostalgia, FOMO (“fear of missing out”), longing, or even sadness may come up. Understanding how these emotions shape who we are can help us offer ourselves grace and compassion, while also recognizing that it’s OK to make room for grief when needed and also leave space for gratitude for how far we’ve come.

💌 Sending tons of love to our Mighty family today! 💌

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has found herself missing the times when she wasn’t as aware of her own trauma responses. She’s grappling with self-compassion right now. She knows how important self-awareness is, but it can feel heavy some days. She’s learning to be kinder to herself and proud of how much she’s grown.

Taking care of your health often involves many layers. Those layers can become even more complex when you add health conditions, disabilities, or unexplained symptoms. It takes a lot of work and awareness to keep track of all that may be happening in your body (something we Mighties know all too well! 🙋🏻).

Based on what you have on your plate right now, what aspect of your health could use a little more attention or care? How are you thinking about prioritizing that area of your health?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has a complicated relationship with procrastination. One of her biggest challenges involves her relationship with sleep and free time — and knowing when to allow herself to rest instead of convincing herself she’s just “being lazy” or using procrastination as an excuse. She doesn’t have to be “on the go” all the time, but she would like to get her tasks done, take care of herself, and still get enough sleep every night.

What are your thoughts? What’s your relationship with procrastination? When do you tend to procrastinate?

Hi Mighties, and happy Monday! 🌟

What does it even mean to be at your “best?” When you live with health conditions (which many of us do), finding balance or a baseline of functionality can look different from day to day and moment to moment. When symptoms are unpredictable or fluctuate, it can be difficult to put a clear definition on what “best” means—especially when how you and your body feel sets the tone for what the day looks like.

One day you might be experiencing a flare, dealing with a symptom trigger, or feeling low in mood, and that can shape what “productivity” and your goals look like. On another day, you may have more energy and feel a boost in motivation.

What factors help you determine what your “best” will look like that day? How do you check in with yourself to decide how to shape your to-do—or not-to-do—list based on your health? How do you find balance and gauge your capacity?
