My favorite way to treat myself is…

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌅

We all deserve to treat ourselves to the things we enjoy—whether that looks like binging a 10-season show, snacking on our favorite ice cream, buying that item we’ve always wanted, taking a day just for ourselves, or spending an afternoon at the spa. Whatever it is, and in whatever capacity we can manage, it’s OK to show ourselves love by making space for experiences that bring us joy.

What’s your favorite way to treat yourself? 💛

TRUE or FALSE: It’s easier for me to forgive others than it is to forgive myself.

We’ll be talking about forgiveness this week — a process we all experience differently, at varied paces, and for a range of distinct reasons. Some of our experiences are heavily influenced by the complexities of our daily circumstances, lived trauma/abuse, or health conditions. But when it comes down to it: how we manage the process of forgiveness, for ourselves and toward others, is an inherently personal journey.

For you, is it easier to forgive someone else than it is yourself? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. ⬇️

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?
