Happy Friday, Mighties! 😊

Exploring, owning, and expressing confidence can be a lifelong practice. It often takes self-awareness and compassion, especially as we learn how to see and understand ourselves more clearly. There may be moments when our confidence wanes, feels dependent on external factors, or grows stronger depending on where we are or what we’re doing. In those moments of clarity, our confidence can feel grounded and energizing, motivating us to better understand and trust ourselves.

💌 Gentle reminder: If confidence feels like a challenging topic for you, that’s OK — we get it. Our health, for example, can absolutely impact our confidence levels. Please know that you deserve those moments when your confidence peeks out or even thrives. We’re here with you wherever you are on that journey. We’re cheering you on and holding space for you.

Adulting can be challenging for many reasons. One of the biggest can be the “harsh,” difficult, eye-opening, comforting, or even transformative realizations that come from experiences shaping and reshaping your perspective.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks recently realized that she’ll have to do things even when she feels scared or anxious. If she wants better opportunities, she has to work through what she once believed she couldn’t. She constantly reminds herself that it’s OK to ask for help and that she doesn’t have to know everything. She doesn’t have to have it all figured out.

What’s a realization you’ve had recently?

Happy Monday, Mighties! ☃️

It’s a pretty cold and wintry day for Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks . She’s currently watching a blizzard from her window, which reminded her of the storms her mom used to talk about when she was growing up. “There was so much snow in the Blizzard of ’96!” she would say. 😂

Her city is having a snow day today, and it brings back memories. Growing up, she had to go to school no matter the weather. 😩❄️

What was your experience? Did you have snow days or other weather-related days off when you were growing up?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks was recently having an interesting conversation about the definition of “normal,” especially as it relates to managing a mental health condition. It got her thinking about how she defines “normal” and how she learned to recognize the difference between her symptoms and her true personality.

She realized that her definition of “normal” has changed over time. Ultimately, she feels it’s her relationship with self-awareness that helps guide what “normal” means to her each day.

What are your thoughts? How do you define “normal” while living with a health condition? How does your relationship with your health shape that definition?

Mighties, let’s picture ourselves on a road trip right now. If your symptoms were in charge of the music, what song would they choose to play? What makes that song a good fit for today? 📻🎵

As we take in information from educational spaces, our environments, or our lived experiences, certain strategies, patterns, or methods may work best for retaining and processing that information. This might look like listening, seeing visuals, engaging in hands-on activities, being in specific environments, taking notes, relying on particular resources, or even using a combination of styles depending on what we’re learning.

What’s your favorite way to learn something new? What learning style works best for you?
