What's a piece of advice, insight, life hack, or tip you've received for your health that was actually helpful?

When you live with a health condition, advice can come from all directions — friends, family, doctors, even strangers. Sometimes it feels overwhelming or unwanted, even when it’s well-intentioned. But every so often, a piece of advice or a small tip arrives at just the right moment and makes a difference.

Maybe it’s a coping strategy, a mindset shift, or a practical life hack that makes your days a little easier.

Using words, phrases, or quotes, what theme would you give this chapter or season of your life?

As life shifts through its many seasons, it can bring lessons, challenges, growth, and moments of clarity. Sometimes, finding the right words to describe what we’re experiencing helps us reflect on where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we hope to go.

If you had to give this current chapter of your life a theme — whether it’s a single word, a short phrase, or a meaningful quote — what would it be?

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?

How can you show yourself care and kindness this week?

Hi Mighties! ✨

As we begin a new week, let’s take a moment to reset and reflect on how we can best care for ourselves in the days ahead.

How can you show yourself kindness and compassion today? In what ways can you pause and slow down? What tools from your self-care toolbox might be most helpful this week? Who can you reach out to for support if you need it?

Share your thoughts with us below! 💭

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 one thing you wish you had more time or energy for?

We often hear the phrase, “We all have the same 24 hours in a day.” But when you’re living with a health condition (or several), those hours don’t always feel the same. Balancing responsibilities, goals, and self-care often depends on the energy and capacity we have in each moment.

What is something you wish you had more time or energy for in your days or weeks? Can small steps help you make more space for it? What's making it challenging to prioritize?

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.

I don’t remember most of today I need help

I’m scared So me and my sister went to a little town and we went to a aquarium. I remember that not well but some of it. We went to a store and I was not talking English. Then I remembered waiting for a seat and then the rest is black i remember looking around and feeling confused and like the world was so bright. There was nothing happening that was not good I wasn’t feeling anxious or anything then the rest of the day feels fuzzy. This has been happening a lot more sometimes the room spins even when my eyes are close this has been happening more and more I felt fuzzy and dizzy watching tv and I remember trying to shake it off #Spoonie #MentalHealth #Anxiety #ADHD
