Hi, Mighty fam!

How was your week, and what are your Friday thoughts?

List time, Mighties! Let's look at the week ahead and write a list of priorities.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she will prioritize attending her Ending The Silence presentations, completing her Mighty work, and making sure to get eight hours of sleep every night.

As human beings with different bodies, capacities, and limits, it’s completely normal to find certain tasks, responsibilities, or situations challenging or sometimes even overwhelming. And when health symptoms are involved, they can add an extra layer of difficulty to whatever you're facing.

What’s feeling difficult for you at the moment? What’s helping you cope?

♥️ Gentle reminder: It’s OK to pause, stop, or take a break. We’re sending you lots of energy and hugs today!

We often hear about self-care and think of it as prioritizing your needs, getting outside, taking breaks, or enjoying the occasional bubble bath. But self-care is so much more—especially when you're living with a chronic illness. There are added layers of considerations, demands, and limitations that are often overlooked.

What are your thoughts on self-care while managing a chronic illness or chronic pain? What does self-care look like for you? What do you wish others understood about taking care of your needs and health as someone with a chronic condition?

Whether you use an alarm, a calendar, a daily agenda, or other resources, it can be super helpful to have a system set in place that helps you keep track of your important priorities.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has a schedule/outline and calendar that help her prioritize for the week.

Do you have anything that helps you keep track of your priorities? If you use a specific app, what's it called?

Mighties, let’s try a quick visualization exercise today.

First, find a quiet place where you can pause. Take three deep breaths and gently close your eyes. Now, imagine a place, space, or feeling where you feel completely calm and relieved. All your fears and worries melt away, and you’re finally able to relax.

Look around you—what do you see? Where are you? Is anyone else there?

Let’s call this place “home.”

What did you imagine? Share in the comments how you would describe and visualize what "home" looks and feels like to you. 🏡

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?
