Reframe a thought with us.

Let’s practice reframing a thought today, Mighty friends!

When you reframe or shift a thought, you’re simply changing your perspective in order to understand something in a new and different way.

Let's try it using these steps with an anxious thought:

1️⃣ Write down one thing your anxiety tells you.

2️⃣ Now, write down the opposite.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks reframed this thought:

1️⃣ I'm not doing a good enough job.

2️⃣ I'm doing my best and that's more than enough.

Reframe your own thought in the comments below! ⬇️

What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten that’s changed your perspective about something?

Sometimes the reason we are able to see something more clearly or understand ourselves in a different way is because of something someone else told us in a time of need. So we’re curious, what’s a piece of advice you were given that changed your perspective for the better?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that she’s gotten a lot of great advice from others over the years. The best advice, however, was when her therapist pointed out that she doesn’t have to do things that make her uncomfortable, especially if it’s making her lose sleep.

Her therapist shared that @sparklywartanks can simply create a boundary that protects her mental health instead of always trying to figure out how to navigate that troubling situation.

TRUE or FALSE: I tend to overthink when I feel worried, stressed, or anxious.

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?

List 3 of your go-to hygiene hacks.

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?
