Self-care

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?

Hi Mighties! 🦋

I was wondering what you all thought about what's been working for your mental health and why. Out of these options—support groups, a mental health class, one-on-one therapy, or something entirely different—which has been most helpful to you? This applies whether you are living with a mental health condition or challenges yourself or are a family member or friend of someone who is.

For me, one-on-one therapy has really been helpful, but I've been thinking about exploring other options since I can now see my therapist only once a month.

What are your thoughts? 💬

Let's share our greatest accomplishments today, shall we Mighties!? Think about the moments where you look back and say, "I really did that!" These can be times when you overcame a challenge, persevered, got a degree, achieved a health goal, decided to do something that benefited you, or got out of your comfort zone.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks accomplishments are when she graduated from college with honors, when she hosted her first event, and when she began to volunteer her time to talk with grade school students about the importance of mental health.

No matter what part of your life is affected, feeling stuck can be tough, especially when you don't know what's coming next or how to move forward. Learning how to identify when and why you're feeling stuck can be the first step to overcoming it.

Let's share our own experiences today. When was the last time you felt stuck? What emotions came up? How did you overcome it?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks felt stuck after realizing she had been putting too much time and energy into something that was draining her mental health. She’s learning that she doesn’t have to do everything for everyone and that it’s OK to set firmer boundaries while prioritizing her own needs.

Hi Mighties!

A new week means a new theme, and the topic for this week is 💫 inspiration 💫.

In its simplest definition, to inspire is to spark or create a feeling of confidence, motivation, or desire to do something. Inspiration can come from many different places, such as art, the environment, other people, books, and music, and can influence a myriad of ideas, both new and old.

Today, let's share who and what inspires us to keep moving forward.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that her family and passions inspire her to keep going.

What about you? 👀

We're over halfway through the year, but that doesn’t mean we've run out of time or opportunities to accomplish what we want. We can work toward, prioritize, change, or adjust different aspects of our lives as we see fit. We are Mighty after all! 💪⭐🏅

What is something you want to accomplish before the year has ended?
