I tend to procrastinate when...

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?

What factors determine what your “best” looks like on any given day?

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?

I'm tired of having to explain…

Managing health conditions can be complex and time-consuming.
Understanding your needs and symptoms while balancing daily tasks and schedules to accommodate different aspects of your life and health can add an extra layer of exhaustion.

Not to mention having to explain those complexities, demands, and challenges to others on a regular basis — whether that looks like canceling plans, not being able to show up the way you'd like because of your health, or explaining things to a health professional.

What’s something you’re tired of explaining to others?

When or where do you feel the most confident?

Happy Friday, Mighties! 😊

Exploring, owning, and expressing confidence can be a lifelong practice. It often takes self-awareness and compassion, especially as we learn how to see and understand ourselves more clearly. There may be moments when our confidence wanes, feels dependent on external factors, or grows stronger depending on where we are or what we’re doing. In those moments of clarity, our confidence can feel grounded and energizing, motivating us to better understand and trust ourselves.

💌 Gentle reminder: If confidence feels like a challenging topic for you, that’s OK — we get it. Our health, for example, can absolutely impact our confidence levels. Please know that you deserve those moments when your confidence peeks out or even thrives. We’re here with you wherever you are on that journey. We’re cheering you on and holding space for you.

What’s a realization you’ve had recently?

Adulting can be challenging for many reasons. One of the biggest can be the “harsh,” difficult, eye-opening, comforting, or even transformative realizations that come from experiences shaping and reshaping your perspective.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks recently realized that she’ll have to do things even when she feels scared or anxious. If she wants better opportunities, she has to work through what she once believed she couldn’t. She constantly reminds herself that it’s OK to ask for help and that she doesn’t have to know everything. She doesn’t have to have it all figured out.

What’s a realization you’ve had recently?
