________ would help me feel more calm about my health.

When you live with a physical and/or mental health condition, it can be challenging to manage the demands, needs, and treatment that come with it. Reaching a state of calm and balance may mean taking intentional steps or seeking help if necessary. (Or it may even look like getting answers!)

What would help you feel more calm about your health?

Spend a little time outside today. Write about what you see, feel, and smell.

Harmony isn’t just about how we interact with ourselves and others, but also how we interact with the world and our surrounding environments — both natural and man-made — as well. Today, let’s take a mindful moment, get some fresh air, and share what we experience. 🌇

✍️ When you go outdoors take a note of what you see, feel, and smell.

Where do you find meaning and purpose in life?

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week our 52 Small Things theme is harmonize.

We often hear the phrase "harmonize" when we're referring to the synchronization or blending of music or video to create pleasant sounds and visual effects, but what does harmonizing mean when it comes to self-care?

Just like with blending, balancing, or combining sounds and melodies that work together in oneness to create music to make a song, when we live in harmony with ourselves and with others, we are introducing balance and "togetherness" so we are on the path that feels most right to us. Harmony with ourselves can look like knowing and accepting who we are, making decisions that are most beneficial to us, walking in our purpose, and living in our truths.

And in order to reach a state of harmony in our lives, it’s important to identify where we derive the most meaning and purpose so we can continue to nurture those connections, environments, and responsibilities. Is it caring for your family that brings meaning? Your career? A specific skill or duty? Your faith?

What helps you keep track of your most important priorities?

Whether you use an alarm, a calendar, a daily agenda, or other resources, it can be super helpful to have a system set in place that helps you keep track of your important priorities.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has a schedule/outline and calendar that help her prioritize for the week.

Do you have anything that helps you keep track of your priorities? If you use a specific app, what's it called?

How does your health impact your ability to prioritize?

Living with a health condition can impact many aspects of your life, and one of those things can be prioritization.

From managing your symptoms and energy levels, to doctor visits, and everything in between, sometimes it’s challenging to balance, negotiate, or even set certain priorities. Everything can change on a dime!

How does your health impact your ability to prioritize? Has it made what you need to focus on crystal clear? Or shattered any kind of a blueprint you’ve drawn out?

TRUE or FALSE: I am good at prioritizing.

Mighties, how do you feel about establishing and managing your priorities? From tackling your daily responsibilities to managing your health, sometimes it can be challenging to pinpoint what should get done right away, left for later, or abandoned entirely.

Do you feel like you're good at prioritizing what's best for you? Is there room for improvement? What do you think?

What’s your experience with volunteer work?

Yesterday we talked about the charities, causes, and nonprofits we are passionate about (you had some great ones!); so today we wanted to talk about volunteer work, as it is one of the best ways we can give back to our communities.

Volunteer work can look many different ways depending on where you live, how much extra time you have, and your overall health. We definitely understand that health conditions and disabilities can often prevent us from volunteering in the ways we want and that totally OK!

What is your experience with volunteering your time?
