#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Hi Mighties! 😊

Mighty staffer @carla1234 and I have been talking a lot about language accessibility and how important it is—especially in spaces where people from many different cultures come together. Because our Mighty community spans the globe, we’re curious to learn which languages everyone feels comfortable speaking.

So, what languages do you speak? Do you speak more than one? If so, how fluent are you in each?

Feel free to share with us in the comments below! 🩷

There is a lot of complexity when it comes to how we navigate our relationships. Those connections take time and effort to maintain, especially since we’re all different and have our own unique set of values and comfort levels.

When it comes to what you value in relationships, which love language do you find is the most important to you?

💌 Need a refresh on the love languages? You can find them below:

🗣️ Words of affirmation (I like to give and receive praise)
🤝 Acts of service (I like to help and be helped)
🫂 Physical touch (I like to give and receive affection)
❤️ Quality time (I like to spend time with others)
🎁 Receiving gifts (I like to give and receive gifts)

When you think about the passage of time and how life experiences shape your perception of the present moment, feelings like nostalgia, FOMO (“fear of missing out”), longing, or even sadness may come up. Understanding how these emotions shape who we are can help us offer ourselves grace and compassion, while also recognizing that it’s OK to make room for grief when needed and also leave space for gratitude for how far we’ve come.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has found herself missing the times when she wasn’t as aware of her own trauma responses. She’s grappling with self-compassion right now. She knows how important self-awareness is, but it can feel heavy some days. She’s learning to be kinder to herself and proud of how much she’s grown.

This week’s theme is all about love languages, Mighties!

We all like to show love and be shown love in different ways. These languages can help us to feel valued, appreciated, and seen in the relationships we build with others (and even ourselves).

Here is a list of what those 5 love languages look like:

🗣️ Words of affirmation: valuing verbal expressions of love, connection, validation, and encouragement

🤝 Acts of service: valuing the idea that "actions speak louder than words," feeling loved when others give a helping hand with thoughtful and selfless gestures.

🫂 Physical touch: Appreciating and valuing consensual physical contact with others

❤️ Quality time: Feeling valued and loved when others set aside time to spend together

🎁 Receiving gifts: Feeling loved with the act of giving and receiving tangible or intangible thoughtful gifts

Which ones are most important for you? Rank them from 1 to 5 in the comments below!
