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. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

YOUR LIFE IS YOUR LIFE

One of the most freeing realizations I ever had was that I didn't have to live my life according to someone else's expectations.

For years, I worried about what people thought.

Whether they approved.

Whether they understood my choices.

Whether they agreed with the way I wanted to live my life.

But eventually I realized something:

No matter what you do, someone will have an opinion.

So you might as well build a life that feels right to you.

A life that gives you energy instead of draining it.

A life that reflects your values instead of someone else's expectations.

Sometimes growth isn't about adding more things to your life.

Sometimes it's about letting go.

Letting go of unhealthy relationships.

Letting go of old habits.

Letting go of the pressure to be who everyone else wants you to be.

Your life is your life.

Make it your own.

What's something you've let go of that made your life better?
