Let’s broaden our horizons this weekend by trying something new or different. This can look like checking out a new restaurant, trying white noise to help you sleep, traversing a new trail, or starting a new art or craft project! Whatever you want to try, give it a go over the next few days.

What do you want to try?

As people, we are multifaceted, complex, and dynamic, with many truths shaped by our life experiences, perspectives, and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Yes, we live with and navigate different health conditions that greatly impact our lives and daily routines. But we also wear many hats and continuously learn and adapt, which helps shape our identity as humans.

Let’s get to know one another in the comments below by sharing one or more truths about ourselves.

👍 Pro: Trying new things can put us in positions to learn and grow our perspectives and skills.
👎 Con: It can also be intimidating, especially when we might not know what to expect or when there’s a possibility for setback or failure.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks finds that she holds herself back from trying new things because she’s afraid she might not do a good job in learning or understanding what she needs to be good at in the first place.

What do you think holds you back from trying new things? (P.S. Trial and error is a normal part of life, not everyone succeeds at everything!)

Hi, Mighties! 👋

As the final days of May fade away, let's do a mid-week check-in. How has your month been? 👀

When we put ourselves out there and broaden our horizons, we’re allowing our curiosity to take the lead (that can be scary, but rewarding!). This can look like: learning a new language, trying a different type of art or cuisine, taking a chance on an entirely new career path, or dabbling with a new-to-us movement or exercise.

What topics, skills, or hobbies spark your curiosity? What interests you most?

When you say "I'm tired," it can mean more than just a need for sleep or some kind of rest. It might be physical fatigue or chronic pain, mental or emotional exhaustion, overstimulation, or feeling "stuck." It can also stem from emotional weariness caused by stress, worries, loneliness, annoyance, frustration, or even grief. It’s a simple phrase, but it carries a lot of weight. Sometimes, it’s your way of asking for a break, a moment of calm to collect your thoughts, or extra support to get through a difficult time.

When you say "I'm tired," what does it mean for you?

Got out of bed? Asked for support? Finished the laundry? Bought something just for yourself? Sought a second opinion about your health? Opened up about your feelings and experiences? Decided NOT to do something?

What have you done (or not done) recently that you're proud of, or that has brought you some relief? If you can't think of anything right now, that's OK! Instead, what's one helpful thing you can do for yourself this week?

🌟 Sending love and energy to everyone today!

Happy Monday, Mighties! ✨

For this week’s self-care challenge, we'll be broadening our horizons. 🔭

Have you been thinking of learning something new or setting fresh goals for yourself? Are you interested in mastering a new craft or skill or want to experience something different than what you're used to? This is what it means to broaden your horizons. We can accomplish this by stepping into uncharted territories, widening our perspectives, and intentionally exploring things outside of our comfort zones.

Let's begin this journey by reflecting on our current comfort zones. In what instances and in what parts of your life do you feel most at ease and like you know what to expect?
