#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

We all have something we’re good at (yes, this includes you too!). 😊 And receiving a compliment based on those things — a talent, a skill, a personality trait — can mean the world.

What’s the biggest compliment someone can give you that would mean a lot? Why is that?

For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks , the biggest compliment she can get is someone telling her they enjoy her company. She loves to know that she is valued is the spaces that she’s in.

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌸

A new week means a new theme and our theme this week is ✨compliments✨.

Praise can come from a lot of places: a loved one, friend, co-worker, or stranger on the street. And, depending on the person, those compliments can elicit different feelings or reactions. Some of us may feel a sense of excitement, relief, or pride; while others are more hesitate or doubtful, which is also completely valid — no judgment here. 🙋

What is your experience? Is it easy for you to accept compliments from others?

Answer "true" or "false" in the comments below. ⬇️

Hi Mighty friends! 🫶

Today I’m working on channeling my inner confidence. To do that, I’m thinking back on the moments when I felt my best. Some specific memories stand out, like when I facilitated my Mighty events a few years ago and led the expressive arts group with NAMI-NYC from 2020 up until last year. I really enjoyed creating activities and connecting with others.

What about you? What’s a moment when you felt confident in yourself? 🦋
