Self-care

Having a weekend plan that differs from the week routine is one of the best tips I ever learned in therapy, and I wanted to share!
How can you find time for an enjoyable hobby, outing or self care this weekend?

Let’s share our go-to personal care and hygiene products to cap off this week’s self-care challenge!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks really loves Dr. Bronner’s body lotion and soap bars and finds them to be great products for her. 🙂

Happy Friday, Mighties! 🥰

This week flew by, and we're already heading into the weekend. How will you prioritize self-care over the next few days?

I need to make sure I catch up on sleep and rest my eyes after spending so much time looking at screens during the week. 📱👩‍💻

How about you?

Hygiene shortcuts can be a lifesaver, especially in those moments when we want to quickly and efficiently get our needs met without expending all of our energy. These shortcuts can look like creating schedules and reminders, as well as knowing what kinds of products to use that make hygiene more accessible (dry shampoo, anyone?).

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks hacks include listening to music while she’s in the shower to motivate her and wake her up in the morning, scheduling less work to get done on her hair-washing days so she has more energy, and buying her toiletries and personal care products in bulk so she doesn’t have to worry about them running out quickly.

Keeping up with our hygiene can be challenging, especially those tasks that take up time and energy on a daily basis: showering, taking a bath, brushing our hair, flossing our teeth… the list goes on!

What hygiene task is the most challenging for you to stay on top of? Which tasks do you find easier and more manageable?

Crying, panicking and doubt are not a sign of weakness. You are so much stronger than you realize.
What matters is that you keep showing up.
