#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

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?

Spanglish Family & Friends support group is for adults who identify as Hispanic, Latina, Latine, or Latino and have a loved one dealing with mental health issues.

Connect with others who are experiencing the same unique challenges within their families and communities, such as:

🔵 Cultural and language barriers in mental healthcare
🔵 Concerns about seeking help due to undocumented status, and
🔵 Intergenerational trauma and stigma around emotional issues

This group is held in English and Spanish.

💻 If you'd like more information or would like to join, you can find the link here. Virtual groups are every 3rd Tuesday, 6-7:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Closed Captioning is available:

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.
