Self-care

Hi Mighties!

A new week means a new theme, and the topic for this week is 💫 inspiration 💫.

In its simplest definition, to inspire is to spark or create a feeling of confidence, motivation, or desire to do something. Inspiration can come from many different places, such as art, the environment, other people, books, and music, and can influence a myriad of ideas, both new and old.

Today, let's share who and what inspires us to keep moving forward.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that her family and passions inspire her to keep going.

What about you? 👀

This was a really helpful quote for me. I hope it's helpful for you, too.

We're over halfway through the year, but that doesn’t mean we've run out of time or opportunities to accomplish what we want. We can work toward, prioritize, change, or adjust different aspects of our lives as we see fit. We are Mighty after all! 💪⭐🏅

What is something you want to accomplish before the year has ended?

Today is Thursday, which means it's the time of the week where we write down three things we are thankful for!

Mighties, wouldn’t it be great if we could each have just ONE perfect day? A day where everything just seems to fall into place and makes sense. A day where our health is being cooperative, our symptoms are low, and medical appointments are nonexistent. A day without responsibility to others, with the only objective being self-fulfilling joy.

What would a perfect day look like for you?

Let us know below! ⬇️

Making a vision board can be a fun and creative way to map out what we want for ourselves and our future. What exactly is it? Vision boards can be digital (like Pinterest) or an old fashioned cork board, but it’s essentially a collage of words and images that reflect a person’s dreams and aspirations.

Of course, like goals, it’s totally OK if some of the things we put on our vision boards change over time; the key is to explore what it is we want, need, and desire and put it all together in one place. It can even be a nice, cathartic exercise to take our mind off things in the present!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks would add a small map of her city and pinpoint the places she wants to go by herself, with family, or with friends, as well as sprinkling in positive words to symbolize motivation, self-care reminders for herself to continue moving forward, and images to represent personal goals that she has.

If you were to create a vision board right now, what would you add to it?

This has been one of the hardest life lessons I have ever learned, but a deeply life changing one.

Sometimes, the decisions we have to make will cause us sadness. However, that is not a reflection of whether we did the right thing.

We’ll be exploring the theme of 🌟dreams🌟 for this week’s self-care challenge, Mighties!

To start us off, let’s reflect about what we often daydream about. Perhaps it’s a place you want to travel to, an experience you want to have, or even something you want to accomplish or fulfill in your lifetime.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks often finds herself daydreaming about the experiences she wants to have (like making new friends!) or planning fun events with her family.

What about you?
