Self-care

Your brain is incredible. It has the power to relearn, reset and make different choices. It takes SO much energy to overthink (coming from a chronic over thinker) ...
What is, instead, you decided to overthink the best case scenario? Could you try it out today? Let us know in the comments what happens!

New week, new theme, but same Mightiness, friends!

This week we’re digging into reframing thoughts, which is a common skill taught in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The technique essentially boils down to taking negative thoughts and replacing them with more helpful ones — it’s not a cure-all, but it can be helpful for those of us that get frequently stuck in thought spirals or rumination.

But first, bringing awareness to our behaviors is a solid first step when learning how to reframe and shift our thoughts and mindset. Do you find that you overthink when you feel worried, anxious, or stressed?

This is an adorable graphic that explains a super important concept. Learning how to accept uncertainty is something that helps anxiety, depression, OCD and everything. I know it's hard and sometimes seems impossible, but it really does help!
I hope this helps you today

Whether it’s a tool you've bought to make the process more accessible, a method you've learned that makes the process quicker and easier, or a routine or schedule that makes cleaning gentler on your health symptoms, share what your top three cleaning hacks are in the comments below! ⬇️

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she cleans best later in the day after she takes a nap and has more energy. She also listens to her favorite playlist to help the time go faster as well as starts off by organizing any clothes to give her more room for her other tasks.

Mental and physical health go hand in hand, so when you’re experiencing mental health symptoms, physical symptoms may show up as well.

For me, when my depression feels heavy, I experience extreme fatigue. When I’m really anxious, I tend to feel nauseous and scattered, making it hard to focus.

What about you?

Hi Mighty friends! 🌻

Self-care has been on my mind a lot lately, especially because I haven’t been feeling well. I’ve realized that there are areas of my life I’ve been neglecting. For me, I think my routine around prioritizing spirituality and taking breaks needs to shift. It’s really important that I consistently make space for both, and I haven’t been doing that as effectively as I’d like.

Is there an area of your life where a change in pace or routine might help?

Feel free to share your thoughts and insights! 🩵

Teaching your nervous system and brain that it's safe can be hard work- but it's very rewarding!

It’s definitely not outlandish to say that there are certain parts of our homes that are easy to clean, and other parts that can’t stay tidy no matter what we do (or don’t).

From the kitchen to the bathroom, from a desk area to even that small corner in a bedroom or basement where everything just seems to pile up, there’s always a place (or three) that are easier to maintain than others!

What are those areas for you?
