#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

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?

Our living spaces are an important part of our daily lives and comfort levels (yes, even if you don’t spend a bunch of time in yours). It is in these spaces where we largely rest and take care of our basic human needs — from hygiene to preparing our meals to paying bills. Creating a safe space where we stay can have a significant impact on our health as well, since a good environment can help us manage and navigate stress better. And a bad environment can, well, add a lot of stress too.

What are some ways you can make your living space more nurturing for you?

Something that would make Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks living space more nurturing is adding more plants and colorful art.

Here’s the truth: The relationships we have with others help us build community and connection with the world around us.

This is also the truth: Some relationships in our lives will naturally be closer than others and have different standards, but overall they each have their own level of significance to us and our needs. Those relationships can be with family and friends, coworkers, neighbors, teachers and classmates, or even our health care teams.

Out of the relationships in your life, which ones do you nurture the most? What does that nurturing look like?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she nurtures the relationships she has with her mother and sister the most.
