Self-care

When you live with a mental and/or physical health condition, it can be tough to seek adventure outside of your home… but that doesn’t have to stop you from fulfilling your sense of adventure entirely. 💭🤔

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks feeds her sense of adventure by having "family days" and planning out creative activities and games to play with them, all from the comfort of home.

What are some ways you can feed your sense of adventure without ever stepping foot outside your front door?

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week we'll be delving into the world of adventure! 🧭

Let's start by sharing what you feel is the best adventure you've ever been on. This adventure doesn't only have to be traveling or going on vacation, it can also be your career, being a parent, getting a degree, moving, or even embarking on your healing or health journey.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks shared that the best adventure she's ever been on is learning how to love herself better.

Share yours with us in the comments below! ⬇️

It’s easy to forget ourselves when wrapped in thought and concern for people and events that have happened. We don’t have control over those.

Hopefully, we do have control of ourselves and our actions..Remember to care for yourself first and foremost. Care for your own physical and mental well-being before you can effectively help others.. #Selfcare #MentalHealth #PTSD #SocialAnxiety

So much has happened this year, positive, negative, and everything in between.

What are 3 things you are grateful to have experienced? What made those experiences important to you?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks 3 things are getting closer and going out with her family more, being open and honest with her therapist (which helped her release a lot of grief she was feeling), and setting boundaries with herself and others and sticking to them.

Mighties, let's take a moment or two to free write today. You can write about something that you’re proud of yourself for accomplishing; a health goal that you have; a challenge you're facing; a poem that you wrote or something that you created; a list of thoughts, phrases, or words that have been on your mind; or even something you're looking forward to.

The clear-cut benefit of forgiveness is pretty obvious: the weight it can lift of off both parties. We don’t know about you, but it can hard and heavy to hold onto resentment, and vice versa for the helplessness that others may feel when they’ve done us — or someone else — wrong.

But this comes with a caveat: forgiveness doesn’t mean we have to allow that hurt to "slide." We get to determine how forgiveness affects us or doesn’t, and how we move forward.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks can forgive others from her past that have abandoned her when she really needed someone to support her.

What about you?
