What have you come to accept about your health?

Managing a health condition (or several!) can mean having to adjust and adapt to the varying changes and demands of fluctuating and/or unpredictable symptoms. What you experience one day might be totally different from the next, impacting how you navigate your day-to-day life.

Health conditions can be challenging, and acceptance — or lack thereof — of your circumstances is a personal process.

What's something you've come to accept about your health?

Acceptance to me means…

Happy Monday, Mighty fam!

Let's talk about ✨ acceptance ✨ this week.

While we all go through the process of acceptance on some level, accepting something is a personal journey where we notice, acknowledge, come to terms with, and embrace what we're experiencing without judgment. This may look and feel different for everyone, and that's 100% OK.

What does acceptance mean to you? What does it look and feel like?

What is currently taking up more of your time and energy than you’d like?

We all have different levels of responsibilities, tasks, and daily chores that take up a portion of our day and brain space because, well... we just have to get them done. (Adulting is #fun!)

But, do you ever feel like there’s one or more of those things that take up much more time than it has to and could use a revamp or different approach?

For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks that thing is how long it takes her to make a purchasing decision while shopping for herself. She can definitely benefit from simplifying her decision-making process so she feels more confident and it takes her less time and energy to shop.

What are some ways you could simplify your living space?

Whether it’s finding a better system to store your food, or taking unused clothes or shoes to be donated; to readjusting your furniture so you can move around your home more comfortably, different actions can be taken to simplify your living space — especially if you find you want to make some changes but don’t exactly know where to start.

Something I own but never use is…

Simplifying our lives requires us to examine and reflect on the different aspects of our daily routines, habits, and surroundings; and take out, change, or adjust what we feel isn’t necessarily adding value to our day-to-day. That can even mean looking through our belongings to see what we have, but rarely (or ever) use.

As you take a look around, what can you find that you own that you don’t use or haven’t used in a really long time? What can you do with that belonging that will help simplify that "clutter"?

What area of your life could use some simplification right now?

Life in general is complex and multifaceted, especially when you live with one or more health conditions. This doesn’t mean, however, that EVERY aspect of our lives has to be at the same level of complexity. It can definitely be beneficial to simplify one or more areas to add balance and a little bit of breathing room.

From cleaning to your weekend schedule to your weekly meal plan, what areas in your life could use a little makeover?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that area is her personal goals and time management. She’s found that because she has a lot going on she sometimes gets overwhelmed, procrastinates, or has a hard time sleeping.

What is something you want to accomplish before the end of the year?

We're a little over halfway through the year, but that doesn’t mean we've run out of time or opportunities to accomplish what we want. We can work toward, prioritize, change, or adjust different aspects of our lives as we see fit. We are Mighty after all! 💪⭐🏅

What is something you want to accomplish before the year has ended?

Describe your perfect day.

Mighties, wouldn’t it be great if we could each have just ONE perfect day? A day where everything just seems to fall into place and makes sense. A day where our health is being cooperative, our symptoms are low, and medical appointments are nonexistent. A day without responsibility to others, with the only objective being self-fulfilling joy.

What would a perfect day look like for you?
