At Resilience Agenda, our mission is to inspire people to approach their mental health with the same dedication as their physical fitness. Our A5 diary is designed to help you manage stress, uncertainty, and change through practical and powerful skills.
Mental Fitness
Mental health is often used to describe how we’re feeling - especially when something’s not quite right. But there's more to mental health than just 'illness' or things going wrong.
Mental Fitness is different. It's about thinking of mental health as something we can protect and build, just like our physical fitness.
Unlike waiting until we lose our mental health, or we're in a crisis, Mental Fitness helps us find ways to incorporate skills and routines into our lives that help us protect our mental health, build our resilience, and support our goals.
It’s a proactive, positive and practical way to think about protecting and improving our mental health, no matter where we start. The best part is that you don't need a problem to get started. It's a common-sense new language for thinking about and taking action on resilience and wellbeing, which makes it open to everyone.
Mental Fitness is the 'how-to' for applying skills, tools and habits to protect and improve our mental health.
Just as learning and doing physical fitness activities helps you protect and improve your physical health, so to learning and doing Mental Fitness activities helps you protect and improve your mental health.
It's a totally new (but completely common-sense) approach to learning about mental health without stigma.
Mental Fitness is important, and needed, because for far too long 'mental health' has focused on what can go wrong, rather than how we can take care of it and improve it.
Everybody has mental health. But not everybody has a mental illness. Mental Fitness helps us protect our mental health if we're doing okay, and helps us improve our mental health if we've been unwell.
It's not designed to replace medication, or therapy or other approaches. Instead, it's a language, mindset and set of habits that empowers us to take care of our own mental health before things go wrong.
Resilience Agenda was created Hadleigh Fischer, who came from Australia originally.
In 2017, after a decade working in HR consulting, Hadleigh decided mental health needed more than awareness, it needed action.
Inspired by his own family's struggles with mental ill-health, his desire to protect his own wellbeing, and his frustration with the prevailing stigma and disinterest around the narrative of mental health, he started using the term Mental Fitness. And the rest is history.
Hadleigh is the creator of the best-selling Mental Fitness & Wellbeing Diary, he is the creator of Mental Fitness Daily online training, the host of the Resilience Agenda Radio podcast, writes a popular free weekly newsletter, has appeared at TEDx Basel, is a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop faciliator, and now lives in Switzerland with his wife and young son.
Resilience Agenda was created as a way to inspire people to reimagine how they think about and take action on their mental health.
The science shows that resilience is a learnable skill, and that the key to feeling calmer, more focused and more fulfilled is through small daily changes to the way we think, feel and act.
We wanted to put resilience, the science of functioning under pressure, on the agenda.
That's why we started with a simple paper diary. Each year, over 20,000 people use on to plan their time, be inspired, and transform their approach to their energy and wellbeing.
It's both a practical message and a play on words.
We love the idea of resilience, and that the science that shows you can build your resilience in advance.
What does this mean? You can prepare yourself with the knowledge, confidence and tool to handle setbacks and pressure with more skill and calm.
We wanted to put Resilience on the Agenda. When we started in 2017, it was all about raising awareness that resilience can be trained and that Mental Fitness is the 'how-to' for doing it.
And, because another word for diary or planner is Agenda, we called it the Resilience Agenda.
So we started by offering a place to protect time for your wellbeing, and learn new skills - our annual Mental Fitness & Wellbeing Diary.
Lots of ways.
You can sign up to the free weekly 3-2-1 newsletter on our website.
You can follow us on social media or join our occasional email list for updates and ideas.

Product Details
The Mental Fitness & Wellbeing Diary helps you learn and apply science-backed tools and habits into your busy schedule.
Full of content, simple reflections and activities, it provides actionable steps to help you make time for the things that keep you energetic, focused and healthy.
At the start of each month, we introduce a valuable new Mental Fitness skill, and then offer a step-by-step guide for applying it to your life. Then, throughout the month ahead, we give you reminders and prompts to incorporate these new habits into your schedule.
At the end of a year, you'll have 12 new skills for handling life's challenges and chaos.
The main difference between the Weekly and Daily formats is the amount of space for you to write and plan.
Both formats are A5 sized, made of the same high-quality FSC-certified materials, and include the same fully-updated monthly content, tools and Make it Happen steps to help you build your Mental Fitness.
The compact Weekly format has 200 pages, gives you two A5 pages to prioritize and plan your week, and inspires you with a new motivational quote every day.
The thicker Daily format has 408 pages, has a 'day to a page' design so you can plan your priorities and activities throughout the day in detail, and offers a new inspirational quote each day.
The Resilience Agenda Mental Fitness & Wellbeing Diary is the world's only physical diary designed to help you make the habits and skills of Mental Fitness a part of everyday life.
It achieves this by combining educational Mental Fitness content at the start of each month with simple and actionable 'Make it Happen' steps to integrate into your life for the following month.
It takes about 28 days to build a new habit, so at the end of each month, you should have a new skill for protecting and improving your wellbeing.
Then, on a day-by-day basis, we provide the space for you to prioritise what's most important to you - your key work projects, connections, or wellbeing goals, and then make and protect the time for it.
Importantly, we don't just encourage you to be productive, we encourage you to prioritize your Mental Fitness, which helps you achieve more in less time, by making time for yourself.
At the beginning of the diary, you will learn about the importance of mental health, the Mental Fitness approach to managing your mental health, and discover the tools of the Mental Fitness Toolkit.
Here's what sets it apart:
- Focused on Mental Fitness: The Mental Fitness & Wellbbeing Diary helps you take action on mental health without stigma and with simple easy-to-follow language, using the principles many of us intuitively understand from physical fitness.
- Practical Tools and Activities: Our diary offers practical skills and activities to turn knowledge into action, ensuring that you not only learn about Mental Fitness but also apply it effectively and keep going when things get tough.
- Weekly and Daily Motivation: To keep Mental Fitness at the forefront of your mind, we provide weekly motivation and support, helping you stay committed to your goals.
- Comprehensive Support Services: We include resources and support services to assist you and those around you in accessing help when needed.
- Integrated Scheduling: Alongside daily and weekly planning sections, our planner ensures that Mental Fitness remains a priority in your life, blending seamlessly with your scheduling and goal-setting needs.
In summary, the Resilience Agenda Mental Fitness Diary is not just a tool for organisation - it's a simple approach for integrating Mental Fitness into your daily routine.
Yes, each year we update the dates, holidays, content, and ‘Make it Happen’ steps. This keeps the diary fresh and relevant, with the latest insights and science.
Most important, we update the monthly chapters and exercises every year so you can keep learning new skills - whether you're coming back year after year, or whether you're joining us for the first time.
The diary starts from 1 January and goes through to 31 December. But, you can start reading through the material, practicing the activities, and filling in key dates any time you like.
You don't need to start the program in January. You can pick up the diary at any time during the year (we'd suggest before July), and catch-up easily.
The Mental Fitness & Wellbeing Diary is available in Classic Navy, Forest Green and Golden Mustard.
Unfortunately, due to stock, demand and cost considerations we have had to eliminate two of our prior year colours.
We look forward to expanding our colour range next year.
If you have a suggestion for a colour for future years, please contact us with your idea.
Currently, our diaries are only available in English. We are considering adding more languages in the future as our global audience grows.
The Diary includes holidays and observances for Australia, New Zealand, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Singapore, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.
It also includes many of the popular mental health and wellbeing awareness days celebrated internationally.
The Mental Fitness & Wellbeing Diary comes in two formats:
- Weekly view: 52-week pages in a vertical format.
- Daily view: Single page per day, with one page for Saturday and Sunday.
Both formats are available in A5 size. The Weekly has 200 pages, and the Daily has 408 pages.
The diary is A5 size (210mm x 148mm).
The weekly Diary weights about 330 grams, while the Daily weights about 650 grams.
Teens yes, children no.
The diaries are recommended for individuals 14 and above due to the nature of the text-based content and somewhat advanced psychological concepts.
There's nothing sensitive or triggering in the diaries, however the topics may invite self-reflection, which may be challenging for some people.
We do not currently offer a separate version for children below 14.
No, the diary is designed for anyone interested in improving their Mental Fitness, regardless of their current mental health status.
If you are experiencing a mental health condition or are receiving support, the diary should help you plan and structure your time, as well as learn about new tools for feeling calmer and stronger.
If you're not, the diary will help you discover the preventative and proactive Mental Fitness approach to learning about mental health - just like many people proactively build their physical fitness, even when they don't have a diagnosis of physical illness. This is what makes it such a valuable everyday performance and productivity tool.
No, the diary is designed to provide an opportunity for reflection and a ‘bird’s eye view’ of your days, weeks, and months, which is best achieved with a physical format.
However, we have recently launched a new online program which covers many of the same concepts called Mental Fitness Daily.
By watching a simple 15 video over 14 or 28 days, you'll learn many of the skills and habits that you would in the Diary.
Please navigate to the Online Courses or Mental Fitness Daily section on our website.
No, the diary is available in A5 size in Daily and Weekly Views, which are portable and provides enough space for writing daily priorities and key appointments.
We unfortunately do not sell refills for our LAMY pens. However, please feel free to head over to https://milligram.com/ or the official LAMY store to purchase.
Mental Fitness Daily is our new online learning platform.
We've designed it so that it's easy to get started, and easy to keep going.
In just 15 minutes a day, watch an interactive video, complete some simple reflections, and take a brand new tool into your life. Do this for a month, and you'll have a new habit.
We have two programs of different lengths. The 14-Day Mental Fitness Challenge, and the 28-Day Mental Fitness Reset. You can take as long as you like to do each with lifetime access to the video and materials.
Mental Fitness Daily is a part of Resilience Agenda, it's just a different name. Within Mental Fitness Daily, we offer a range of programs and courses to suit your goals, budget and timeframe.
To learn more, visit the Courses page of our website in the menu.
Mental Fitness Daily is for anyone interested in learning a positive, practical and preventative approach to managing and strengthening their mental health.
The whole idea of Mental Fitness is that it's something everyone can learn and improve over time.
That's because Mental Fitness is just like physical fitness, and can be built in the same way.
Whether you're a busy professional, stay at home parent, business owner, retiree, team leader, student or influencer, Mental Fitness is the future of mental health.
If you currently have a diagnosis of mental illness, the topics and skills in the program should be helpful as you discover what you can do to protect and improve your mental health.
If you are doing okay, but don't have a diagnosis, but you're sometimes stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious, the Mental Fitness concept will give you practical tools to take action today.
If you are doing well, and you want a new and exciting way to engage people with wellbeing or mental health, the Mental Fitness concept will appeal to you.
If you are currently struggling, or you feel your life is in danger, please contact your local emergency service or health service.
The 28-Day Reset is our flagship Mental Fitness training program while the 14-Day Challenge is a shorter, more concise, and affordable way to get started.
Both include the same engaging, practical and interactive training sessions, delivered in 15 minute video sessions on your browser or the app.
There is no need to do the 14 Day program if you have already done the 28 Day program as the content has already been covered.
- Daily video + audio lessons
- Access to the Mental Fitness Daily app on the app store or Google Play
- Guided reflection exercises
- Subtitles in multiple languages
- Audio-only mode for on-the-go learning
- Downloadable videos for when you don't have internet
- Compatible with computer, phone, tablet, and smart TV
- Lifetime access so you can rewatch the videos again and again.
Our programs are designed to be easy to fit into your busy day.
Each session, for both the 14-Day and the 28-Day programs runs for roughly 15 minutes. You may like to spend a little longer pausing the video during reflections, or thinking about what you've learnt afterwards.
The 14-Day Challenge has a total time investment of 3.5 hours, while the 28-Day Reset has a total time investment of 7 hours.
Broken down into a short session each day, you'll quickly build a Mental Fitness habit that could last you the rest of your life.
If you want, you can literally complete the program in 14 days (or sooner). Most people prefer to do one session every few days, and space it out over a few weeks
If you are new to mental health, resilience or wellbeing, and aren't sure if you have the time to commit, then choose the 14-Day program to get started.
If you're already interested in mental health or wellbeing, and want to dive deep into the Mental Fitness concept, choose the 28-Day program.
Of course, the program you choose depends on your budget and time availability.
There's no need to do both programs as the training material overlaps.
The 14-Day program consists of the first 7 days material from the 28-Day program, and the most important 7 other days of that program.
The 28-Day program has the same 14 days as the 14-Day program, as well as 14 additional days with different topics and skills.
Forever. When you purchase access to one of our programs, you'll receive lifetime access to the material, which means you can go back and watch it all over again, or revisit your favourite insights and tools.
