BeKind21

Self compassion is life changing, who practices it daily?

Hello random pic for attention because dope background. But being in New Zealand I’ve been getting trapped in a box of lockdown after lockdown. Just starting a new job and they were talking about making sure to check up on your friends and make sure they feeling well and all that. It made me think about how we should remember to check on mates more and making sure they are healthy in their mind. I often feel so drowned myself I forget but while you going through your day watching out for the big bad covid, don’t forget to have a wellness check with your mates and maybe you’ll get a closer bond.

Research suggests it takes 21 days to build a habit, and I can’t think of a better habit to form than one of kindness!

At The Mighty, we’re excited to partner with Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation again for this year’s #BeKind21 campaign. From September 1-21, we challenge you to practice kindness in 21 Mighty ways. Need some ideas? Check out this post’s graphic for inspo. Follow the days in order or skip around based on your mood and energy levels.

Which calendar item are you most excited to try out? What would you add? How will you be kind this month?

💖 P.P.S. In case no one has told you this today: You deserve to take kind care of yourselves too, Mighties.

What’s something you can do to bring some kindness to someone’s day? This week’s challenge is all about paying it forward. Whether it’s giving an honest compliment or dropping off a meal for your immunocompromised friend, nothing is too “big” or too “small.” Share your “drops of sunshine” in the comments below. ☀️

I’m a big fan of collecting plushies.
They helped me a lot to recover from my trauma’s. I’m a 26 year old woman, paying rent every month, going to study Social Work soon, seen and experienced a lot of shit and yet, I still cuddle and sometimes sleep with stuffed animals. It is their softness and innocent look that attracts me and they are growing in numbers as I’m writing this. I hope to move out to a bigger place and that I can afford it to adopt a dog, a rescue or even a servicedog. Untill then, I have plushies.
Does anyone recognize something similar? #Trauma #traumasurvivor #RecoveryBox #WRAP #Autism #stuffedanimals #plushies #softness #BeKind21
