#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Another week in the bag 👜, Mighty warriors! To conclude this week of tuning up our mental health, let's charge ahead. How can you continue to prioritize your mental health this weekend?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she’ll catch up on her sleep and watch a few of her herbalism classes.

Hi Mighty fam! 🌷

Sometimes it's really challenging for me to be patient with myself. When I feel as though I could be doing something "better," or when I think I should have moved on from something and it peeks its head again, I can be quite self-critical. I want to be more patient with myself when "old" feelings or patterns resurface.

Does anyone else relate? What's something you'd like to be kinder and more patient with yourself about?

When we speak or write something into existence, we give it less power over us. So today, let’s try and reclaim some of that power by writing a letter to our biggest fears.

In your letter, you can touch on what your fear is, how it’s affected you, and how you can begin to let it go.

Here is Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks letter:

Dear abandonment,

I’ve been afraid of you for a long time now, ever since I was a little girl. You’ve been lingering over me and preventing me from progressing, but I’m learning who you are and where you came from. You are no longer allowed to cloud my judgment or stop me from making lasting friendships and relationships. I’m taking my life back. You’re no longer going to hold me back.

Good riddance,
Nina

🚨 Today’s public service announcement 🚨

Whether it’s from a family member, friend, nonprofit organization, free community program, online platform (like The Mighty!), doctor, or mental health professional, it’s always OK to ask and receive support for your mental health.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks finds talking to her therapist, sharing on The Mighty, and spending quality time with her family to be most helpful for her.

What about you?
