Living with a health condition—or multiple—can be complex and difficult to articulate, especially when words don’t seem to fully capture what it's like to experience certain symptoms on any given day. The nature of a condition (or how multiple conditions interact) and the way symptoms fluctuate, shift, or change can make explaining it feel like writing a dissertation. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—we get it! 🙋

What symptom do you find most challenging to explain? What strategies have you used to help others understand what you're experiencing? What do you wish was more widely understood to make it easier to communicate what you’re going through?

Happy Friday! 🌻

Let’s take a #MightyMinute to reflect on our daily habits today, Mighties. 💡

The relationships we have—with ourselves, our environment, and those around us—are important. Being aware of our regular behaviors and routines not only helps us understand ourselves better, but also reveals what’s working, what we’d like to change, and which new habits we’re open to trying.

So, what habit are you currently working on—or hoping to build—this year?

Mighties, imagine waking up each day to a message that instantly brightens your mood, motivates you, or makes you smile. What would that message say, who would it be from, and why would it be meaningful to you?

Silence can mean many different things depending on how you're feeling, what you're doing, who you're with, what's happening around you, your personality, and how you handle difficult situations, reflect, or learn.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks
has been thinking about this a lot lately. For her, silence is often a way to process the world around her. She’s observant and values quiet, as too many sounds or too much noise can feel overwhelming. Her silence can also signal that she’s feeling uncomfortable, confused, depressed, angry—or even that she’s in the process of learning something new.

What about you? What does your silence typically mean?

Finding a medical professional who meets your needs and helps you feel comfortable, heard, and understood is a vital part of your health care. Whether it's a nearby primary care physician, a specialist for a specific condition, or a therapist or psychiatrist in your network, what essential quality do you look for when choosing someone to join your medical support team?

Reflecting on meaningful moments—whether positive, challenging, surprising, or unexpected—can influence your perspective, guide how you navigate life, and help define the person you choose to become.

For today’s #MightyMinute , think about a moment that stands out to you. It could be a conversation that left a lasting impression, a relationship that deeply mattered, a proud accomplishment, an experience that changed how you make decisions, or a turning point in your health journey.

What are the moments that matter most to you?

Hi, Mighty friends!

Today is Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks birthday, and she’s feeling a bit conflicted. On one hand, she wants to feel excited and proud of herself for continuing to do her best. On the other hand, her birthday brings up thoughts about everything she hasn’t accomplished or experienced yet — things she still hopes for. She’s working on practicing mindfulness, but it’s definitely a challenge.

What are your thoughts on birthdays?
