#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Harmony isn’t just about how we interact with ourselves and others, but also how we interact with the world and our surrounding environments — both natural and man-made — as well. Today, let’s take a mindful moment, get some fresh air, and share what we experience. 🌇

✍️ When you go outdoors take a note of what you see, feel, and smell.

Happy Monday, Mighty friends! 🔆

Let’s start the week by identifying our biggest strengths—the qualities that make us who we are, the skills that set us apart, and the ways we show up for ourselves and others. Strengths can be interpersonal, intellectual, emotional, or spiritual, and can be rooted in our values, interests, talents, and resources.

Using one word, describe your biggest strength below. ✨

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week our 52 Small Things theme is harmonize.

We often hear the phrase "harmonize" when we're referring to the synchronization or blending of music or video to create pleasant sounds and visual effects, but what does harmonizing mean when it comes to self-care?

Just like with blending, balancing, or combining sounds and melodies that work together in oneness to create music to make a song, when we live in harmony with ourselves and with others, we are introducing balance and "togetherness" so we are on the path that feels most right to us. Harmony with ourselves can look like knowing and accepting who we are, making decisions that are most beneficial to us, walking in our purpose, and living in our truths.

And in order to reach a state of harmony in our lives, it’s important to identify where we derive the most meaning and purpose so we can continue to nurture those connections, environments, and responsibilities. Is it caring for your family that brings meaning? Your career? A specific skill or duty? Your faith?
