Self-care

🫰And just like that… we’re already starting a new self-care challenge! This week’s prompts will be all about journaling. ✍️

Whether it’s with pen and loose paper, on a notes/journaling app, in a Word or Google doc, or drawing or doodling in a pretty notebook — there are many different ways you can journal.

Some may find journaling especially helpful in processing their thoughts and emotions, but this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Since all brains are different, you may actually find it to be a chore or challenging to keep up with!

What is your experience? Do you find journaling helpful for your mental, or even your physical, health?

Spanglish virtual support group is for adults who identify as Hispanic, Latina, Latine, or Latino and are living with mental health issues. This includes people with heritage from a Latin American or Spanish speaking country. Connect with others who are experiencing the same unique challenges, such as:

☑️ Cultural and language barriers in mental healthcare

☑️ Concerns about seeking help due to undocumented status

☑️ Intergenerational trauma and stigma around emotional issues

Spanglish se lleva a cabo en español y ingles al mismo tiempo.

💻 If you'd like more information or would like to join, you can find the link here. Virtual groups are every 2nd and 4th Thursday, 6-7:30pm ET.  Closed Captioning is available:

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.
