What to do with anger

Anger is valid, but holding onto it is heavy. It doesn't punish the person who hurt you; it punishes you. Ask yourself: What am I carrying that no longer serves me? A powerful way to begin releasing it is to name the emotion without judgment, breathe through it, and remind yourself that peace is a choice, not a reward someone gives you. Write down what you're ready to let go of, then rip up the paper. Letting go doesn't mean forgetting; it means choosing your well-being over the weight of holding on.

What are you ready to release today?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Write a one-sentence text message you wouldn't mind receiving every morning.

Mighties, imagine waking up each day to a message that instantly brightens your mood, motivates you, or makes you smile. What would that message say, who would it be from, and why would it be meaningful to you?

Reframe a thought with us.

Let’s practice reframing a thought today, Mighty friends!

When you reframe or shift a thought, you’re simply changing your perspective in order to understand something in a new and different way.

Let's try it using these steps with an anxious thought:

1️⃣ Write down one thing your anxiety tells you.

2️⃣ Now, write down the opposite.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks reframed this thought:

1️⃣ I'm not doing a good enough job.

2️⃣ I'm doing my best and that's more than enough.

Reframe your own thought in the comments below! ⬇️

🧠 Want to keep your brain young, sharp, and full of energy? It’s way easier than you think.

Here are 3 surprisingly simple habits that can help you boost brainpower and protect your mental health starting today:

✨ 1. Detox your mind

Your thoughts matter. Some empower you. Some drain you. Start noticing which thoughts serve you—and which ones you need to let go of. (That embarrassing moment from 10 years ago? Time to release it.)

💪 2. Build your brain daily

Just like a muscle, your brain needs exercise! Read, create, solve problems, learn new skills—this is how you protect your mind from decline and build resilience.

😴 3. Prioritize your sleep

Running on fumes? Your brain feels it. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Ditch late-night distractions and protect your rest like your mind depends on it… because it does.

🎥 Click on one of the links below to watch the full video and find out how a little imagination can help transform your mental state.

How to have a good mental health diet

What kind of mental diet are you on? If your self-talk is filled with doubt, fear, or criticism, your mind will reflect that back to you. Instead, try this simple shift: each morning, write down one truth you want your mind to believe—like “I am capable,” “I am worthy,” or “I am healing.” Say it out loud. Repeat it until it feels real. The brain learns through repetition—so feed it words that build you up, not break you down.

What’s one loving truth you’ll tell your mind today?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten that’s changed your perspective about something?

Sometimes the reason we are able to see something more clearly or understand ourselves in a different way is because of something someone else told us in a time of need. So we’re curious, what’s a piece of advice you were given that changed your perspective for the better?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that she’s gotten a lot of great advice from others over the years. The best advice, however, was when her therapist pointed out that she doesn’t have to do things that make her uncomfortable, especially if it’s making her lose sleep.

Her therapist shared that @sparklywartanks can simply create a boundary that protects her mental health instead of always trying to figure out how to navigate that troubling situation.
