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.

Where do you often feel stress in your body? What helps you release it?

Mighties, one of the biggest challenges I've faced for as long as I can remember has been recognizing when my body is stressed and understanding the best ways to release that stress so I don't end up feeling even more fatigued or anxious.

As I've learned more about my body, I've realized that I tend to hold stress in my shoulders, chest, and lower back. Body scans have been helpful for increasing my awareness, and I've also found it beneficial to intentionally pause, take a breath, and slow down when life feels especially busy or overwhelming.

Where do you tend to feel stress in your body? What techniques, methods, or routines have helped you release it?

Feel free to share your insights and experiences below! 💙

True! I make self-care a priority.
False. It's challenging to practice self-care consistently.
It's a work in progress.
I'm not sure. I haven't thought about it much.
