This Mental Health Awareness Week, we asked , founder of , to talk to us about action. Here’s what she had to say:
“If we’re honest, gyms have always been about action. You don’t think your way into strength, you do your way there. Mental health isn’t actually that different.
But here’s the part we’re missing: action doesn’t always look like pushing harder. Sometimes the most powerful move you can make is to not react.”
Five takeaways for this week ↓
⬛ Stop waiting to feel ready
You don’t wait to feel motivated to train, you show up and the motivation follows.
Your mental health works the same way. The conversation, the boundary, the habit, it’s not going to feel easy before you do it. Do it anyway.
⬛ Small reps count here too
We massively overestimate what needs to happen for change.
A five-minute walk, one honest conversation, getting to bed earlier are your mental health reps. Do them consistently and they compound.
⬛ Inaction can be the work
Not sending the text.
Not reacting in the moment.
Not abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
That pause? That’s not weakness, that’s control. That’s you choosing differently.
⬛ Break the all-or-nothing mindset
Miss a session? You come back.
Same with your head.
You don’t need a perfect routine to feel better, you need a willingness to return when you’ve drifted. That’s what builds resilience.
⬛ Awareness isn’t enough anymore
Most people know what’s going on for them. That’s not the issue.
The shift happens when you act on it, when you actually change something in your day, your behaviour, your patterns.
Insight without action keeps you stuck.
