What are your hopes for July?

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌱

How's everyone doing? How was your weekend?

Our #MightyMinute today is all about reflecting on our hopes and intentions for July. Can you believe we're already at this point of the year!? 📆

If you need a little inspiration, here are a few reflection questions to get you started:

🩵 What health goals do you have for July?

🩵 What's one intention you'd like to focus on this month?

🩵 What would you like to do more of—or less of?

🩵 How can you prioritize yourself a little more this month?

TRUE or FALSE: I am good at prioritizing.

Mighties, how do you feel about establishing and managing your priorities? From tackling your daily responsibilities to managing your health, sometimes it can be challenging to pinpoint what should get done right away, left for later, or abandoned entirely.

Do you feel like you're good at prioritizing what's best for you? Is there room for improvement? What do you think?

Share a poem that's impacted you. Why has it had such a profound effect?

We’ve talked a lot this week about writing our own poetry (we loved reading your words, you brave and creative souls!), but what about reading poetry? That practice can be just as powerful as the creation.

To end our challenge, let’s share the poems that have changed our lives, worldviews, perspectives, and emotions.

Write a 5-line poem about how you're feeling today.

It’s poetry writing time. ☺️✒️

For today’s challenge, write a five-line poem about how you’re feeling today. You’re free to write in whatever style or structure feels right to you, there are no rules! If you need some inspiration, here are some examples: you could write a free verse, acrostic, imagery, or lyric poem.

Here is @sparklywartanks poem:

Even as she opens her eyes with sunrise, she pushes through.

Her voice, a beacon of light. Her best, enough, as she gently soothes her inner critic.

One moment at a time—fleeting, like a race car finally crossing the finish line.

She can't wait for her Friday finish line.

Maybe then she'll get a full night's rest, and her mind will finally quiet down.
