Mentally Fit — Training the Capacity to Thrive

The Problem

"Everyone understands physical fitness: you can be in or out of shape, nobody is ashamed of either, and training changes it. Mental fitness borrows that picture on purpose. It is measurable, it can be improved, and where you are and who you are with matter as much as what you carry inside."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For anyone who wants to treat their wellbeing the way they would treat their fitness: measure it, train it and keep it up.

This course teaches Dr Paula Robinson's Mental Fitness model as a training programme. Like physical fitness, mental fitness has parts you can train: strength, endurance, flexibility and team. You measure where you stand, train each part with the practices that build it, and leave with a programme you can keep. Running through it is a second idea from Angela Duckworth's research on situations: train the inside, choose the outside.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I have to do the modules in order?

No. The course is modular and nothing is locked to a date. Work in the order your own results point to; only the last module assumes the others.

Is there a single mental fitness test?

No single validated instrument exists, so the course measures each part with the published instrument built for it and treats the model as a language and a training plan.

Will anyone else see my answers?

No. Nobody else sees your answers, and the only comparison the course makes is you against your earlier self.

Wellbeing is not a mood you wait for. It is a capacity you train.
