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?

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌱

How's everyone doing? How was your weekend?

Our #MightyMinute today is all about reflecting on our hopes and intentions for July. Can you believe we're already at this point of the year!? 📆

If you need a little inspiration, here are a few reflection questions to get you started:

🩵 What health goals do you have for July?

🩵 What's one intention you'd like to focus on this month?

🩵 What would you like to do more of—or less of?

🩵 How can you prioritize yourself a little more this month?

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?

We’ve talked a lot this week about writing our own poetry (we loved reading your words, you brave and creative souls!), but what about reading poetry? That practice can be just as powerful as the creation.

To end our challenge, let’s share the poems that have changed our lives, worldviews, perspectives, and emotions.

It’s poetry writing time. ☺️✒️

For today’s challenge, write a five-line poem about how you’re feeling today. You’re free to write in whatever style or structure feels right to you, there are no rules! If you need some inspiration, here are some examples: you could write a free verse, acrostic, imagery, or lyric poem.

Here is @sparklywartanks poem:

Even as she opens her eyes with sunrise, she pushes through.

Her voice, a beacon of light. Her best, enough, as she gently soothes her inner critic.

One moment at a time—fleeting, like a race car finally crossing the finish line.

She can't wait for her Friday finish line.

Maybe then she'll get a full night's rest, and her mind will finally quiet down.

Writing poetry is like going on an endless adventure in your mind, and the best part is that there isn’t a "right" or "wrong" way to travel.

One day you could write a poem about how you’re feeling, and the next one could be about your favorite food, or even a cherished memory you have. The beauty of poetry is giving your creativity permission to take the lead!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she enjoys creatively describing her mental health symptoms in her poems as well as celebrating any victories she’s had.

What are your favorite topics to write about? ✍️

Happy Monday! 💫

We're grateful to be starting a new week with our Mighty family.

For today's #MightyMinute , imagine you could wish for anything right now. What would it be, and why?

Feel free to be as creative as you'd like! ✨

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wishes for more hours in the day to rest and experience more joy. Lately, she's been feeling weighed down by just about everything. 😫😵

Mighties, let's get on the creativity train and talk about poetry this week! 🚂

Whether a simple free verse poem or ones filled with metaphors, smilies, and analogies, poetry can be a tool to creatively express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Some may find it beneficial to use this creative method to get their point across while others may prefer the more direct prose approach.

Do you use poetry to express yourself? Let us know by answering "true" or "false" in the comments below!
