No matter how long you've known someone or been in a situation or circumstance, sometimes it's still super challenging to communicate effectively. No judgment here, we totally get it. 🙋

@sparklywartanks says she struggles to communicate effectively when she feels uncomfortable, anxious, or around someone she hasn't spoken to in a long time.

What about you? In what situations is it challenging for you to communicate effectively?

How we talk to ourselves matters SO much more than we realize. What's one way you can be less critical of yourself today?

Whether it’s with strangers, ourselves, or with people we know, we are constantly communicating with those around us. And, like many things in life, practice, familiarity, trust, and other factors can influence how accustomed and comfortable we are with that communication (some more than others).

Who do you communicate most effectively with in your life?

Writing things down can help your brain 🧠 make messy thoughts clearer. It's really helpful!

As someone who struggles with perfectionism and being really hard on myself, this one really hit me.
I hope it's helpful for you today.

For this week’s self-care challenge, we’ll be focusing on ✨communication✨.

From verbal to nonverbal, written, visual, or even active listening, there are a wide variety of ways we can communicate with one other (and ourselves). What we determine to be "good" or effective communication depends on our situational needs and preferences, especially in reference to the topic we’re discussing and how we want our messages to be received or portrayed.

What does "good" communication look like for you? What helps you to feel seen and heard when interacting with someone else?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says "good" communication for her involves welcoming body language, eye contact, listening without interruption, as well as a calm and understanding tone when speaking, especially in conversations when she’s discussing her feelings and concerns with someone.

Reframing the "What if?" thought to "I can handle whatever comes" is a game changer.
Try it this weekend and let me know how it goes!

Another week in the bag 👜, Mighty warriors! To conclude this week of tuning up our mental health, let's charge ahead. How can you continue to prioritize your mental health this weekend?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she’ll catch up on her sleep and watch a few of her herbalism classes.

Hi Mighty fam! 🌷

Sometimes it's really challenging for me to be patient with myself. When I feel as though I could be doing something "better," or when I think I should have moved on from something and it peeks its head again, I can be quite self-critical. I want to be more patient with myself when "old" feelings or patterns resurface.

Does anyone else relate? What's something you'd like to be kinder and more patient with yourself about?
