PSA: There is no "right" way to react to a compliment. Depending on what we’ve been through, we won’t all feel, react, or respond to praise in the same ways; and it’s totally valid to have positive, negative, or neutral feelings and reactions around them!

What feelings come up for you when someone tosses a compliment your way?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she sometimes gets confused or doesn’t know how to react or feel, but other times compliments make her feel confident and great.

Sharing our experiences and seeking support, guidance, or understanding can be incredibly validating—especially in moments of uncertainty or isolation. But sometimes, the responses we get from others can be disappointing, hurtful, or even harmful (even if unintentional).

Has someone ever said something that wasn’t helpful when you opened up about your health? What was it?

⚖️ Mild and manageable – Feeling anxious at times, but overall doing OK.
🥀 Moderate and uncomfortable – Anxiety is affecting my daily functioning and/or sleep.

We all have something we’re good at (yes, this includes you too!). 😊 And receiving a compliment based on those things — a talent, a skill, a personality trait — can mean the world.

What’s the biggest compliment someone can give you that would mean a lot? Why is that?

For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks , the biggest compliment she can get is someone telling her they enjoy her company. She loves to know that she is valued is the spaces that she’s in.

Hi, Mighty friends! 🫶

Even when our health or circumstances make some days — or every day — feel challenging, we still deserve gentle reminders, encouraging messages, and affirmations. We have value, and we are worthy of good things.

Finish this sentence: I am worthy of __________.

Sending extra love your way today! 💌

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌸

A new week means a new theme and our theme this week is ✨compliments✨.

Praise can come from a lot of places: a loved one, friend, co-worker, or stranger on the street. And, depending on the person, those compliments can elicit different feelings or reactions. Some of us may feel a sense of excitement, relief, or pride; while others are more hesitate or doubtful, which is also completely valid — no judgment here. 🙋

What is your experience? Is it easy for you to accept compliments from others?

Answer "true" or "false" in the comments below. ⬇️
