#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

When we put ourselves out there and broaden our horizons, we’re allowing our curiosity to take the lead (that can be scary, but rewarding!). This can look like: learning a new language, trying a different type of art or cuisine, taking a chance on an entirely new career path, or dabbling with a new-to-us movement or exercise.

What topics, skills, or hobbies spark your curiosity? What interests you most?

Hi, Mighties!

A few weeks ago, during our 52 Small Things challenge, we talked about bite-sized self-care and the different types of rest. You can find that post here:
What type of rest do you need to prioritize this weekend?

The different types of rest we explored were physical, mental, emotional, sensory, creative, social, and spiritual.

It got me thinking about the kinds of rest that can influence the quality of my sleep and whether I'm getting enough of them to wake up feeling rejuvenated. I think I need a lot more emotional, mental, spiritual, and sensory rest. Prioritizing those types of rest consistently could help me wind down more easily and improve the quality of my sleep.

How about you? What types of rest do you need to get a better night's sleep?

🙋‍♀️ Hands up if you’ve ever been through something enormous and still had to carry on with ordinary life.

🙌 Hands up if people called you strong while you were using every ounce of energy not to fall apart.

👏 Now clap those hands together for yourself, you absolute fucking warrior.

I’ve been thinking a lot about coping lately. About how someone can look completely functional while quietly spending everything they have just to get through the day.

Coping is not the same as being okay.

When you say, “I’m good,” do you really mean it?

Happy Monday, Mighties! ✨

For this week’s self-care challenge, we'll be broadening our horizons. 🔭

Have you been thinking of learning something new or setting fresh goals for yourself? Are you interested in mastering a new craft or skill or want to experience something different than what you're used to? This is what it means to broaden your horizons. We can accomplish this by stepping into uncharted territories, widening our perspectives, and intentionally exploring things outside of our comfort zones.

Let's begin this journey by reflecting on our current comfort zones. In what instances and in what parts of your life do you feel most at ease and like you know what to expect?
