🎒☕ Fill Up Your Cup Friday: Reset Before the Rush

📣 As August wraps up and the back-to-school season begins, it's easy to feel the pressure building.

✨ Fill Up Your Cup Friday is your reminder that you matter in the hustle too. Before diving into the busy season, take a moment to reset:

🧠 Burnout Tip: The best way to prevent overwhelm is to check in with yourself. Ask:

What helped me stay grounded this month?

What do I need more of next month?

What’s one small way I can protect my peace in the weeks ahead?

💬 You don’t have to pour from an empty cup — fill yours first, even if it’s just with 5 quiet minutes.

✨ Gentle Motivation

“You don’t need to feel ready to begin — you just need to be willing to show up.”

Readiness is a myth we often wait for. But healing, growth, and change rarely start with confidence — they start with courage.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You don’t need perfect conditions.

You just need one brave step. One choice to begin.

And if all you can do today is show up — that’s more than enough. 💙

🧠 Word of the Month: Burnout

Burnout is more than just feeling tired — it’s emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress, often related to work, caregiving, or both.

You might feel:

😞 Overwhelmed
💤 Drained
💭 Detached or unmotivated

How to prevent burnout:

✔️ Set healthy boundaries
⏸️ Take regular breaks
💤 Prioritize rest and recovery
🤝 Ask for support when you need it — it’s a strength, not a weakness.

You’re not a machine. You’re a human being. Your wellbeing matters.

💬 What’s one thing you do to avoid burnout in your daily life? Share below — your tip could help someone else!

🌿 Motivational Monday
You don’t have to push through everything on your own.
Burnout whispers, “just keep going” — but healing begins when we slow down.

You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to speak up.
You are allowed to receive support.

🫖 Whether it’s our evening Wellness Support Group or a morning Coffee Talk, we offer space to breathe, connect, and reset — one sip, one story, one step at a time.

MDAM is pleased to partner with Hilary Druxman Design for this exciting fundraising initiative.

The “Life-Love-Healing” Pendant was inspired by the free-style graffiti sculpture, LifesArt, by artist Reid Bricker. Reid loved to sculpt and his art inspired conversations that encouraged others to see the beauty within their own creativity. Reid believed that Life truly is Art.

100% of the net proceeds from the sale of each handcrafted pendant will support men’s depression and youth programming at the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba. This is a sterling silver pendant on a 16-18" chain. Also available as a lapel pin.

To purchase, please visit the link in our bio.

Saturday Sigh of Relief: Repair, Not Just Rest

Rest helps us recover. But repair helps us rebuild.

When you’re burned out, joy and meaning get buried. It’s time to gently uncover them.

Sigh of relief practice:
Do something small that fills you:

🎶 Listen to music that makes you exhale.
🖌️ Draw, sing, stretch, daydream.
🫖 Sip tea outside.

Let it be light. Let it be for you.

💌 Self-Care Idea - Write a Letter to Future You ✍️

On a good day, take a few minutes to write a note to the you who might be struggling in the future.
Remind them:
💙 What makes them strong
🌤 What they've already survived
🫶 That they’re never alone

📌 That this moment won’t last forever

You can tuck the letter away in a journal, save it on your phone, or schedule it to send later.

It’s a simple act of compassion that says: I’ve got you. Even on the hard days. Would you try this? What’s one thing you’d say to future you?
