What’s one thing you’re willing to give up for better mental health?

Good mental health doesn’t cost money, but it costs effort. It costs patience, consistency, and the courage to face yourself. You can’t buy peace of mind. You build it by practicing it daily. So ask yourself, are you putting in the work for your mental health the same way you would for your physical health?

TRUE or FALSE: I enjoy listening to holiday-themed music.

Happy Monday, Mighties! ☃️

During the holiday season, one thing you’ll likely to encounter—whether you’re shopping at a grocery store, browsing a clothing shop, or walking through a mall—is the sound of holiday music playing in the background.

For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks either a joy or a nightmare, depending on the song and her mental health at the time. She has some holiday-related childhood trauma, and certain songs can be especially triggering, so she does her best to avoid listening to the radio when she can.

What about you? Do you enjoy listening to holiday-themed music? If so, what’s your favorite song? 🎵

Comfort to me feels like...

Happy Monday, Mighty fam! ⭐️

We all have different levels of comfort, from who we feel safest around to places we go to unwind after a long day; or even what self-care and self-soothing techniques we each gravitate toward. What may comfort one person may not comfort someone else and that’s ✨the spice of life. ✨

Suffering isn’t the opposite of happiness, it’s the soil where happiness grows.


Without suffering, there is no happiness.
We tend to reject pain as if it’s something wrong, something to escape.
But what if it’s not something to escape, what if it’s something to embrace?

Every difficult emotion you’ve ever felt has shaped your capacity to feel joy, to understand others, to love more deeply.
Suffering softens us. It teaches compassion. It makes us human.

You don’t have to run from it.
You don’t have to fix it right away.
Just hold it with tenderness, like you would hold someone you love who’s hurting.

When you can cradle your own suffering with gentleness instead of judgment, something powerful happens.
You begin to heal.

How do you practice being gentle with yourself when you’re hurting?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

What qualities or skills do you believe makes someone a great advocate?

Great advocacy doesn’t just follow one template — it can look like a lot of things depending on a person’s skills, talents, qualities, and what organizations, causes, or conditions they’re advocating for.

These skills and qualities can include being a good listener and speaker, being empathetic, caring, and compassionate, and knowing when to stand up for yourself or someone else.

What do you think makes a good advocate? Which of those skills are you good at? What do you think you need to work on?

How to hold on to happy emotions

Emotions are not meant to be controlled or contained. They are meant to flow. The more you try to hold on to happiness, the more it slips away. The more you resist sadness, the stronger it becomes. Peace begins when you stop fighting the natural rhythm of your emotions. Let yourself feel everything — joy, sadness, calm, fear — and then let it move through you. That is how healing happens.

What emotion have you been holding on to lately? 👇
