Everything about Daily Affirmations on The Mighty

Daily affirmations are gentle reminders to yourself, and they can be a helpful part of your self-care routine.

How to get a daily affirmation

When you log into The Mighty, you will see a prompt above your home feed with the option to select an affirmation.

Select anywhere on the affirmation prompt to start. A screen will come up asking how you are feeling today. Choose an emotion that best suits your mood.

Based on your selection, The Mighty will display a randomized affirmation from that category.

Sharing and saving affirmations

Once your affirmation appears, you have the option to:

  • post this affirmation to The Mighty. In your post, you can add in your own thoughts or reflections about the affirmation.

  • share the affirmation link with others. This will copy a link to your clipboard which you can give to others so they can see it themselves.

  • save the affirmation so you can easily find it in the future. Access your saved items under your profile menu. Also note: affirmations reset at midnight, so if you want to see it again, save it!

When you're finished, select “Done” to minimize the affirmations screen. The affirmations card will still be available at the top of your feed for the rest of the day until it resets at midnight. All of the options to post, share, and save the affirmation will still be available on the card.

Posting an Affirmation

To post your affirmation, select the post icon -- it's the one that looks like a pencil. This will bring up a post window with an image of the affirmation.

Type in any thoughts or reflections you have about the affirmation.

Tip: Add hashtags to your post! This will make it easier to find by other Mighty members who follow those hashtag topics. Feel free to use #CheckInWithMe as one of the hashtags!

When you're ready, select "Post" at the bottom. Once you post the affirmation, it will appear on the home feed along with the cloud image showing the affirmation statement.

Daily affirmations reset at midnight

Note that your daily affirmation will reset at midnight. You will then be able to get a new affirmation for the day.

So if you would like to find an affirmation easily in the future, make sure to save it! (Tap the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner of the affirmations card.)

Troubleshooting:

If you are not getting a new prompt to select an affirmation the next day, restart the mobile app: completely close out of the app, and open it back up again.

Turning off Affirmations

Not a fan of the affirmation feature? You have a couple of options to hide the affirmation experience.

Temporarily hide a daily affirmation card

Temporarily hide the affirmation card by tapping the ‘X’ in the top right corner of the card. The affirmation card will reappear when you refresh your feed.

Disable daily affirmations

If you do not want to see the affirmation feature even when you refresh the feed, you can turn off the feature in your User Preferences.

Web browser instructions

  • In a web browser, click your avatar on the top-right navigation bar (or the hamburger menu on mobile web) and select Preferences.

  • Under Affirmations, there will be a checkbox marking the feature as enabled. Deselect the checkbox.

  • Select Save at the bottom.

  • Once disabled, when you navigate back to your home feed the affirmations card should be gone.

Mobile app instructions

  • On app, tap your avatar at the top right corner to go to your profile.

  • Tap “Preferences”

  • Select “Direct Messaging and Affirmations”

  • Next to “Enable Affirmation” - untoggle the option (move the toggle to the left and it will turn grey). You should see an automatic confirmation onscreen that your preference has been saved.

  • Once disabled, the affirmation card should no longer appear on the app. If it continues to appear, completely close the app and reopen it.
