Don’t worry be yourself

FERMENT CUCUMBERS, NOT EMOTIONS

We launched the #dontworrybeyourself campaign in 2019, at a time when mental health was still rarely discussed in public spaces. In the music industry, in particular, it was a largely avoided topic, despite its deep and multifaceted impact on human well-being. Frequent sleep deprivation, exhausting travel, and a wide range of emotions—from stress to euphoria—are part of our daily reality. That’s why we pursue our passions with great dedication while remaining aware of the immense energy they require.

Years of experience have taught us that taking care of both physical and mental health is the foundation of healthy functioning and growth. For us, this translates into better organization of the Up To Date Festival—both internally and externally, for you. That’s why we’re expanding the #dontworrybeyourself campaign by creating a range of activities not directly related to music but aimed at promoting open conversations about emotions.

#dontworrybeyourself Projects:

• “Send a Postcard to Grandma” campaign,

• Exhibition by Karolina Balcer dedicated to mental health,

• The First Flying Ambient Salon,

• A freshly repainted mural at the University Children’s Clinical Hospital in Białystok,

• A series of therapeutic audiobooks titled Muralove: Fairy Tales Full of Kindness.

Ferment cucumbers, not emotions! If you want to better understand yourself, confront your feelings. Talking about emotions is important—they guide our actions and help us set personal boundaries.

Remember, whatever you feel is valid. You have the right to talk about your emotions, and if you need help, reach out to someone or seek professional support. You can also use a helpline, such as:

☎ Support Center for Adults in Mental Crisis

📞 800 70 2222 (Free • 24/7 • Available every day)

☎ Emotional Crisis Helpline for Adults
