What’s one thing you’re willing to give up for better mental health?

Good mental health doesn’t cost money, but it costs effort. It costs patience, consistency, and the courage to face yourself. You can’t buy peace of mind. You build it by practicing it daily. So ask yourself, are you putting in the work for your mental health the same way you would for your physical health?

TRUE or FALSE: I enjoy listening to holiday-themed music.

Happy Monday, Mighties! ☃️

During the holiday season, one thing you’ll likely to encounter—whether you’re shopping at a grocery store, browsing a clothing shop, or walking through a mall—is the sound of holiday music playing in the background.

For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks either a joy or a nightmare, depending on the song and her mental health at the time. She has some holiday-related childhood trauma, and certain songs can be especially triggering, so she does her best to avoid listening to the radio when she can.

What about you? Do you enjoy listening to holiday-themed music? If so, what’s your favorite song? 🎵

Suffering isn’t the opposite of happiness, it’s the soil where happiness grows.


Without suffering, there is no happiness.
We tend to reject pain as if it’s something wrong, something to escape.
But what if it’s not something to escape, what if it’s something to embrace?

Every difficult emotion you’ve ever felt has shaped your capacity to feel joy, to understand others, to love more deeply.
Suffering softens us. It teaches compassion. It makes us human.

You don’t have to run from it.
You don’t have to fix it right away.
Just hold it with tenderness, like you would hold someone you love who’s hurting.

When you can cradle your own suffering with gentleness instead of judgment, something powerful happens.
You begin to heal.

How do you practice being gentle with yourself when you’re hurting?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
