Who in your life are you most responsible for?

There are multiple ways we can think about our responsibilities — from the tasks we have to complete and check off of to-do lists to others we may have to look out for, lead, or take care of, like family, children, pets, coworkers, or even ourselves.

Who in your life are you most responsible for right now?

What’s a health habit you practiced last year that would benefit you to continue this year?

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?

A responsibility I am avoiding right now is…

Let’s be real Mighties, we can’t always keep up with every single one of our responsibilities 24/7. It’s just so exhausting! And not possible! We’re human! (No shame at all, we definitely understand.)

What responsibility would you say you are — purposefully or not — avoiding at the moment?

Finish today’s #52SmallThings prompt below.

What daily responsibility do you find most challenging to keep up with? The easiest?

Keeping up with our daily responsibilities isn’t always easy. Some days come with a load of responsibilities, while others are a bit lighter and leave more room for rest and fun. (And balancing our health needs and energy levels along with those responsibilities may also be an added task all on its own!)

What daily responsibility do you find to be most challenging? Which is the easiest?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that her most challenging responsibility is balancing her finances while her easiest is making sure she's getting her work done every day.

Envy steals your peace

Envy often shows up when the mind forgets its own direction. Comparing yourself to others can quietly create tension, self doubt, and dissatisfaction, even when you are doing well. Peace of mind comes from returning your attention to your own path and trusting that growth does not need to look the same for everyone. The less you measure your life against others, the more grounded and content you begin to feel. Where do you notice comparison stealing your peace the most?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
