At Motivated Minds, we understand that for too long, men have suffered in silence. The strength in asking for help is one of the most significant steps toward lifelong wellbeing. That's why we are incredibly proud of our MENd Programme which has been running since 2018!!

Join us for a variety of sessions and activities focused on practical tools, shared experiences, and positive actions. Whether it's to chat, learn a new skill, or find clarity, there is a space for you.
​You can find us at The Happy Hub, located on the first floor of Eastgate Shopping Centre, Basildon, next to The Entertainer.

10 Years of Pushing Limits! 🏃‍♀️💥

​For a decade, we’ve committed to monthly challenges—from step counts to skydives. This month? We took on the legendary Nuclear Races.

​5 incredible warriors stepped into the mud, faced the obstacles, and threw their "limiting beliefs" out the window. They didn't just finish; they came away muddy, smiling, and stronger than ever.

​A massive shoutout to our very own MD, who tackled this course as part of her "50 for 50" challenge! Proof that age is just a number and strength is a mindset.

​Building mental's resilience isn't always pretty—sometimes it’s messy, wet, and exhausting—but the pride on these faces says it all.

​✨ Support our journey: We’re not just running for fun; we’re running for our community. If you can, please support our fundraising efforts here: https://localgiving.org/fundraising/6KNuclearRun

True compassion starts with you. 🌿✨

As we close our theme of the week on Self-Kindness, we leave you with this reminder: "If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete." We often spend our energy caring for others, but your own wellbeing is the foundation that allows you to show up for the world.

By practicing self-kindness, you aren't just "being nice" to yourself—you are building a more positive self-image, managing stress, and cultivating the resilience needed to face life's challenges.

How will you show yourself a little extra grace this weekend? 👇
