Self-care

Happy Monday, Mighty fam! ⭐

Today’s the perfect day to get started on this week’s self-care challenge, which is all about the connections we have in our lives. Whether it be with family, friends, our health care providers, co-workers, bosses, or even strangers we encounter while out and about, the connections we have with those around us impact us immensely — in ways both good and bad.

It’s natural and "normal" to have a closer connection with some people in our lives, and not so much with others. Knowing ourselves as well as what we value in our social and support circles can help us to establish which connections are the most important to us.

Who in your life do you feel most connected to?

When I enter new spaces or have new experiences, I’ve noticed habits that I’ve likely carried with me for most of my life. It’s challenging for me not to be overly self-critical, especially when I feel like I should already know something or need to learn it quickly. The perfectionism gets really loud when I’m just starting something, but I want to rewrite the script in my head and shift my expectations for myself during these transition seasons.

What about you? In what moments do you notice yourself being more self-critical?

Feel free to share your experiences below! ⬇️

Time for rest and relaxation is important! Let’s prepare to take it easy (if possible, even for a moment) for the weekend by getting some tasks, responsibilities, or chores out of the way.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks will make sure to complete her work so she can mentally and physically rest during the weekend.

What about you?

When you live with a physical and/or mental health condition, it can be challenging to manage the demands, needs, and treatment that come with it. Reaching a state of calm and balance may mean taking intentional steps or seeking help if necessary. (Or it may even look like getting answers!)

What would help you feel more calm about your health?

Harmony isn’t just about how we interact with ourselves and others, but also how we interact with the world and our surrounding environments — both natural and man-made — as well. Today, let’s take a mindful moment, get some fresh air, and share what we experience. 🌇

✍️ When you go outdoors take a note of what you see, feel, and smell.

Share with us what you’ve captured in the comments below! 🌟
