Happy Monday, Mighties!

For this week’s challenge we’ll be focusing on organization. From the personal items in our homes, to our health needs and schedules, to even staying in touch and spending time with family and friends, there are multiple aspects of our lives that may require organization and balance.

When it comes to organizing, where do you fall? Does it come easy as if it’s second nature to you? Or is it more challenging, like a chore?

Something I want to be more mindful of when it comes to my mental health is differentiating between how my symptoms impact my energy and how they affect my overall daily tasks and to-do list. Because my conditions are considered “high-functioning,” it’s easy for me to keep pushing through, even when I’m struggling to keep up. Sometimes, I don’t even realize my symptoms are affecting me until I slow down and talk to my therapist.

What about you? How do your mental health challenges affect your energy levels?

Familial relationships can be complex, even more so for those of us who have experienced some level of trauma/abuse, or who have set boundaries with our immediate or extended biological families for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, this doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t create a family of our own.

A "found family" (also called a "chosen family") is a family we create ourselves with people we meet who help us to feel safe, protected, and loved.

Do you have a "found family?" Tell us about them. What makes your relationships with them great?

A great way to strengthen the relationships and bonds you have with the people who are important to you is to engage in fun activities or hobbies together. From watching movies to craft projects, board games, going out to eat, or even tried-and-true conversation, the possibilities are endless!

What are your favorite ways to pass the time with those you love?

Having a mental health condition, chronic illness, and/or disability can affect your life in many different ways, including the relationships you have with the people around you. From work connections, to building and maintaining friendships, familial relationships, or even dating — health can either strengthen or weaken bonds. It can even cause bonds to break.

What have your experiences been like? How does your health play a role?

This is one of the best re-frames I've seen! How different would our days be if we could consider our "mistakes" as being "re-routed?"
