Help us write some Mighty affirmations!
One of our favorite things we’ve ever built on The Mighty is our affirmations feature. We launched it over seven months ago (!) and it’s been such a joy to see you retrieve them, share them, and — when we’re especially lucky — read your reflections.
But now it’s your turn. 🎉 Up until this point, I’m the only person who has written them, but now I’d love to turn over the creative reins to the community and see what you all come up with. (I know it’ll be brilliant!)
You can submit one affirmation, a few, or hit all of the categories: In Physical Pain, Anxious, Depressed, Pretty Good, Lonely, and Hopeful.
🧠 Here are a few things to think about: Mighty affirmations are not your average motivational quotes because they’re written from the perspective of someone who lives with a health condition (or three!). Ask yourself, what would you want to hear in your darkest moments? What encouragement would get you through the night? Or on a high pain day? How would you want others to cheer you on? Our Mighty tone is conversational and approachable, so keep that in mind while you’re being creative. (In general, we try to avoid toxic positivity and opt instead for validation.)
📣 One more note: Submitting an affirmation does not necessarily mean it’ll be chosen for The Mighty (and if it is chosen, we might slightly edit it), but that doesn’t mean your efforts go to waste — learning what messages resonate with our community is so important to our growth and mission. Your voice does not go unheard!
