If you could relive an experience in your life, what would it be?

Mighties, let's reflect and share some impactful experiences we wouldn't mind reliving.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she wouldn't mind reliving when she hosted her first mental health open mic event. She was so proud of herself!

How does shame impact your perspective on hope and growth?

Experiencing shame can affect many—sometimes unexpected—aspects of our lives, from existing and new relationships to how we navigate work or school, and even how we form ideas around purpose, growth, and hope.

I’ve become more aware of how much the shame I carry impacts my relationships, but I’m now realizing how much it also shapes my sense of hope and possibility. At times, I limit my own view of hope because I believe my options or opportunities are limited. This is something I want to work on much more intentionally in therapy this year.

Does shame impact how you perceive hope and growth? If so, how? In what ways might you shift or expand your perspective?

Sending love today—simply because you deserve it. 💌

Mental Self-Care 101: How to plan a week that actually reduces stress

Many people experience stress not because they are doing too much, but because they are reacting instead of planning. Taking a few minutes at the beginning of the week to reflect on what you want to accomplish helps your mind prepare instead of panic. When you write down intentions for work, personal life, rest, and enjoyment, you create awareness around what matters and what does not. Hitting even small targets builds mental resilience and self trust over time. Planning is not about pressure or perfection, it is about giving your mind a sense of direction. What is one intention you want to set for the upcoming week?

Where do you go when you need to think through or reflect about something that’s on your mind?

When it comes time to sit with yourself and think through whatever is on your mind — both the good and bad — it can be helpful to find a place that helps you center yourself and process your thoughts.

Whether it’s your bedroom, a walk (or roll!) in a nearby park, your local cafe, or a therapist’s office, where do you go when you need a moment to think and reflect?

Let this post be a gentle reminder that you are allowed to make decisions that are best for you—moment by moment and day by day.

For today’s reflection, looking at the week ahead, let’s share:

🧱 One limit or boundary you want to set for yourself

🕊️ One freedom or permission—something you want to do (or not do) without guilt

TRUE or FALSE: Reflection helps me to process my emotions effectively.

Happy Monday, Mighties!

Let’s march forward into this week's self-care theme! We'll be focusing on ✨ reflection ✨.

Whether we’re setting aside some intentional alone time, talking to someone about our experiences, or figuring out what techniques and strategies are best for us to express how we feel, finding out the ways that are most effective in helping us to process our emotions are important.

What are your thoughts on reflection? Do you find reflection to be a positive coping strategy for you?
