Mental Fitness Conversations
New podcast series
Stories from our village about building mental fitness through connection, community and everyday actions.
In partnership with
Ever feel something you just can't put into words?
You aren’t the only one. Pulled in every direction? That’s Pullaparted. Close to burnout? Crisped. Feeling flat? The Blahs. Mind racing to the worst-case scenario? Spiralo.
We’ve put names to some of the feelings Australians are sharing right now, and paired each one with targeted exercises to help you work through them.
Because when you can name what you’re feeling, you can start to understand it – and build your mental fitness.
New emotions need a new way to build mental fitness
The Glimmers
When you get that little lift from things going right. Take a moment to “Notice the small wins.”
Crisped
When you’re just trying to hold it together and close to burnout. Try “Own the Day” and find your focus for whatever comes.
The Blahs
When nothing’s wrong, but nothing’s moving. Work out what’s really going on with “How are you really feeling.”
Pullaparted
When life’s pulling you in every direction. “Take the weight off” by reaching out to your village and noticing you are not alone.
Breatho
When the pressure eases and you can just breathe again. Whatever today looks like, “take a moment to pause” and ask yourself how you’re going.
Spiralo
When your mind jumps straight to the worst-case version of everything. Find a bit of clarity with “Clear the mental clutter.”

"This is so important and it's so good what you're doing to help people, as it's sometimes very hard as you age to understand how to deal with loneliness and your emotions. This is a very easy and simple way to gain a helpful understanding of how to deal with it." - Gym member, 2024
