I’d like to thank ________ for ________.

Sometimes, the right validation, information, comfort, relief, closure, or support can show up just when we need it most.

Finish the sentence and write a thank-you note to whatever or whoever is helping you press on. ✨

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?

Gratitude

Gratitude is how we remind ourselves that life is already offering little gifts, even on the hard days. It’s not about giving up on growth — it’s about letting appreciation and ambition live side by side. You can dream big and still love where you are. Just take a moment, right now, to say ‘thank you’ for one ordinary thing. It softens everything.

What’s one thing you can be grateful for right now?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

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?

What impact do you hope you have on others?

When we interact or build relationships with others, we may not always know the impact or influence we have on them, but this doesn’t mean we're not having any impact at all! From our personalities, encouraging words and actions, and even our skills and talents, we impact people in different ways.

What impact do you wish to have on others?

TRUE or FALSE: I know how to manage my time well.

Ah, time management — a skill that takes practice and patience, especially when there’s a lot to do or other factors (like our health!) make it difficult to stick to strict timelines, schedules, or due dates.

What does managing your time look like for you? Do you think you manage your time well? What strategies work best for you? How might you improve your time management skills based on what matters most to you?
