What are your favorite topics to write poems about?

Writing poetry is like going on an endless adventure in your mind, and the best part is that there isn’t a "right" or "wrong" way to travel.

One day you could write a poem about how you’re feeling, and the next one could be about your favorite food, or even a cherished memory you have. The beauty of poetry is giving your creativity permission to take the lead!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she enjoys creatively describing her mental health symptoms in her poems as well as celebrating any victories she’s had.

If you could wish for anything right now, what would it be, and why?

Happy Monday! 💫

We're grateful to be starting a new week with our Mighty family.

For today's #MightyMinute , imagine you could wish for anything right now. What would it be, and why?

Feel free to be as creative as you'd like! ✨

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wishes for more hours in the day to rest and experience more joy. Lately, she's been feeling weighed down by just about everything. 😫😵

TRUE or FALSE: Poetry helps me express myself.

Mighties, let's get on the creativity train and talk about poetry this week! 🚂

Whether a simple free verse poem or ones filled with metaphors, smilies, and analogies, poetry can be a tool to creatively express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Some may find it beneficial to use this creative method to get their point across while others may prefer the more direct prose approach.

Do you use poetry to express yourself? Let us know by answering "true" or "false" in the comments below!

What area of your life do you make lists for the most?

There are so many different types of lists you can make! From medical to groceries, ones for work, errands, or finances, to just-for-fun ones like bucket lists.

What area of your life requires the most list-making?

Don’t underestimate what one more step can do.

One of the biggest misconceptions about healing is that you have to be strong all the time.

You don’t.

Some days, simply getting out of bed is strength.

Some days, making one phone call is strength.

Some days, choosing to stay is strength.

Recovery isn’t about making one giant leap.

It’s about showing up again and again, even when progress feels invisible.

The small steps you take today might not seem like much.

But over time, they become the person you’re becoming.

Don’t underestimate what one more step can do.

What’s one small step you’ve taken recently that you’re proud of?

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.
