Rare Disease

When you think about the passage of time and how life experiences shape your perception of the present moment, feelings like nostalgia, FOMO (“fear of missing out”), longing, or even sadness may come up. Understanding how these emotions shape who we are can help us offer ourselves grace and compassion, while also recognizing that it’s OK to make room for grief when needed and also leave space for gratitude for how far we’ve come.

💌 Sending tons of love to our Mighty family today! 💌

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has found herself missing the times when she wasn’t as aware of her own trauma responses. She’s grappling with self-compassion right now. She knows how important self-awareness is, but it can feel heavy some days. She’s learning to be kinder to herself and proud of how much she’s grown.

This week’s theme is all about love languages, Mighties!

We all like to show love and be shown love in different ways. These languages can help us to feel valued, appreciated, and seen in the relationships we build with others (and even ourselves).

Here is a list of what those 5 love languages look like:

🗣️ Words of affirmation: valuing verbal expressions of love, connection, validation, and encouragement

🤝 Acts of service: valuing the idea that "actions speak louder than words," feeling loved when others give a helping hand with thoughtful and selfless gestures.

🫂 Physical touch: Appreciating and valuing consensual physical contact with others

❤️ Quality time: Feeling valued and loved when others set aside time to spend together

🎁 Receiving gifts: Feeling loved with the act of giving and receiving tangible or intangible thoughtful gifts

Which ones are most important for you? Rank them from 1 to 5 in the comments below!

Let’s make some budgeting goals for the rest of March!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says her main budgeting goal this month is to restock all of her home essentials before next month begins. So far, she’s doing great — and she’s proud of herself!

Many people think meditation means clearing your mind completely, but that is not the goal. The goal is noticing when your attention drifts and gently bringing it back. That process is what strengthens focus, reduces stress, and builds awareness over time. Even a few minutes a day can make a meaningful difference in how your mind responds to stress and distraction.

Have you ever tried meditation, and if so, what did you find most difficult about it?

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.

Hi Mighty friends! 💎

What’s something you’re grateful for at the moment? It could be a person, place, idea, experience, item or product, opportunity, resource, or something specific or general.

Feel free to share with us below! ⭐

Budgeting can be tricky and overwhelming sometimes, especially when you want to set better boundaries and make smarter financial choices. We all have some experience in that area, so no worries — budgeting is one of those things that takes practice!

If you could give someone advice who wants to set better financial boundaries either with themselves or someone else (that latter category is especially tricky), what would it be?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that setting separate budgets for bills, household items, and personal items/activities helps her to manage her spending the best. Knowing what’s a fixed expense allows her to see in what areas she has more freedom to spend on!

Feeling stuck often comes from thinking you need to have everything figured out before you take action. In reality, clarity rarely comes first. It usually comes after you start moving. When you take even one small step, you begin learning, building confidence, and creating momentum. That momentum is what reduces overthinking and helps you move forward. You don’t need the full plan. You just need the next step.

What is one small action you’ve been putting off that you could start today?

Let’s be real Mighties — it’s not always easy keeping track of EVERYTHING you may have to pay for, especially when unexpected circumstances and expenses come rolling through.

It can be super helpful, however, to have an app, tool, or system in place that tracks how much you’re spending and allows you to be on top of your finances.

Are there any apps or tools you use to keep track of how much you spend? What tips would you give to someone who wants to track their spending habits better?
