#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

🙋‍♀️ Hands up if you’ve ever been through something enormous and still had to carry on with ordinary life.

🙌 Hands up if people called you strong while you were using every ounce of energy not to fall apart.

👏 Now clap those hands together for yourself, you absolute fucking warrior.

I’ve been thinking a lot about coping lately. About how someone can look completely functional while quietly spending everything they have just to get through the day.

Coping is not the same as being okay.

When you say, “I’m good,” do you really mean it?

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?

It’s the end of the week, Mighties, so let’s reflect on nurturing ourselves over the coming weekend! This can look like self-care, nurturing a hobby or passion project, spending time with people you care about, organizing/decluttering your work or living space, or doing something relaxing and fun.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks plans to nurture herself this weekend by sleeping in and spending time with her family.

How can you nurture yourself in the next few days?
