Who or what inspires you to keep going?

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? 👀

What is something you want to accomplish before the end of the year?

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! 💪⭐🏅

Describe your perfect day.

Mighties, wouldn’t it be great if we could each have just ONE perfect day? A day where everything just seems to fall into place and makes sense. A day where our health is being cooperative, our symptoms are low, and medical appointments are nonexistent. A day without responsibility to others, with the only objective being self-fulfilling joy.

What would a perfect day look like for you?

If you created a vision board right now, what would you add to it?

Making a vision board can be a fun and creative way to map out what we want for ourselves and our future. What exactly is it? Vision boards can be digital (like Pinterest) or an old fashioned cork board, but it’s essentially a collage of words and images that reflect a person’s dreams and aspirations.

Of course, like goals, it’s totally OK if some of the things we put on our vision boards change over time; the key is to explore what it is we want, need, and desire and put it all together in one place. It can even be a nice, cathartic exercise to take our mind off things in the present!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks would add a small map of her city and pinpoint the places she wants to go by herself, with family, or with friends, as well as sprinkling in positive words to symbolize motivation, self-care reminders for herself to continue moving forward, and images to represent personal goals that she has.

I often daydream about…

We’ll be exploring the theme of 🌟dreams🌟 for this week’s self-care challenge, Mighties!

To start us off, let’s reflect about what we often daydream about. Perhaps it’s a place you want to travel to, an experience you want to have, or even something you want to accomplish or fulfill in your lifetime.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks often finds herself daydreaming about the experiences she wants to have (like making new friends!) or planning fun events with her family.

What about you?

What are some feelings that come up for you after receiving a compliment?

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.

What’s the biggest compliment someone can give you and why?

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.
