Self-care

So many of us stay busy as a trauma response, or a way to distract our 🧠. Have we ever thought about how lucky we are to experience boring? Boring is actually a sign that it's safe.
What a healing though. ✨

This is such a positive way to explain the importance of routines. I'm a strong believer in routines for mental health. It helps SO much! Tell us in the comments what kind of routine you want to start so we can help!

When you achieve an accomplishment, it’s OK to be proud of yourself and celebrate — in fact, we highly encourage it. 🥳.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says her favorite way to celebrate is by buying herself something nice or going out to try foods that are new to her. In fact, she just took herself on an adventure yesterday because her mental health hasn't been great lately, but she's been doing her best to keep moving forward.

How do you like to celebrate your wins?

🎊Cue the confetti! 🎊

Our self-care theme for this week is small wins! Whether that’s simply getting out of bed, finally getting to a task you’ve been putting off, or slowing down, taking your time, and pacing yourself on a high-symptom day, identifying and achieving a win (no matter how small) is worth celebrating.

Do you find it easy to celebrate your small wins? Or do struggle with it?

Connection Corner is a support group for teens ages 14-18 living with mental health challenges, facilitated by near peers (someone close in age with lived experience). This group is a safe space to develop coping skills, share common experiences, build self-advocacy skills, and connect with others who truly understand.

Failure doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Usually it means we just need to change routes.

When planning to go out for long periods of time, it’s important to prepare! Depending on what you’re doing, how long you’ll be out, where you’re going, and how you’re feeling that day, those must-have items may look different for each of us.

In the warmer months, Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks must have a hat, headphones, a fully-charged phone, and her purse with water, extra paper towels, and a snack.

What’s on your must-have list?
