Self-care

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?

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?

Keeping up with our daily responsibilities isn’t always easy. Some days come with a load of responsibilities, while others are a bit lighter and leave more room for rest and fun. (And balancing our health needs and energy levels along with those responsibilities may also be an added task all on its own!)

What daily responsibility do you find to be most challenging? Which is the easiest?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that her most challenging responsibility is balancing her finances while her easiest is making sure she's getting her work done every day.

Nothing says "welcome to being an adult" more than the stockpile of ✨responsibilities✨ that come with it.

These responsibilities can look like managing your health and household, taking care of family and pets, or even maintaining different relationships or roles in your life. Depending on your personal circumstances, maintaining and keep up with those responsibilities may look different for each of us.

In general, would you consider yourself a responsible person? Or is it something you’re actively working toward? (No judgment if there’s room for growth!)

Let’s share a specific need we have for ourselves today! This need can be anything from pacing yourself through your to-do list to going outside for fresh air, setting aside some dedicated time for self-reflection, or taking a day off from work, holiday celebrations (or adulting!).

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says her need is to take her time getting through the day and be kind to herself.

Yes, transitioning into a new year can feel encouraging—an opportunity to set or reinforce intentions and embrace new beginnings. But, at the same time, it can also feel overwhelming and stressful, with unspoken pressures and expectations. If you can relate, you’re not alone—it’s definitely been tough for me, too! 🙋🏻‍♀️

How are you feeling about the new year—or this week in general? What’s been helping you cope?
