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?

Feel free to share your thoughts and perspectives below! 💭

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks was scrolling through her socials and came across the end-of-year “exit song” trend, which got her thinking about what message or song she would choose. Her message would be for her younger self, and it would say:

“Feel and release all the anger, guilt, and grief you’ve been holding for so long. You deserve some rest. I’ve got us.”

What would yours be, and why? What song—or songs—would make up your year-end soundtrack? What message are you using to close this chapter?

Between the few days after the holidays and right before the New Year, this time can feel especially confusing in general. Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has been working through some overwhelming emotions she’s never allowed herself to fully feel before. Along the way, she’s found herself not only confused, but also unpacking the roots of that confusion and how deeply it connects to her childhood trauma. It’s been a lot to manage, but she knows she has the tools to work through it as best she can.

What about you? Have you been trying to better understand something lately, or feeling confused about how to navigate or process a certain topic or area of your life?

When something important, fun, or noteworthy happens, preserving that moment can help capture what the experience meant to us. It can also support more accurate recollection, allowing us to reconnect with the memory later and share it with others. This can look like taking pictures, writing things down, saving voice notes, collecting keepsakes, or simply pausing to be fully present.

How do you like to preserve memories? Which method has been the most sustainable for you?

Letting go of something you’re holding onto—whether literally or figuratively—can be challenging and complex, no matter what it is or how much time has passed. We understand how hard this can be, so there’s absolutely no judgment here. 🙋🏻

What has your experience with “letting go” been like? Do you find it easy, or does it depend on the situation? If you’ve learned how to let things go in a way that works for you, what helped you get there? What tips or insights would you share with others?
