Johnny Lawless

Mental Fitness Consultant / Mind Gym Creator/ M8CHECK Founder
Awareness Is Key 

This opening session introduces the concept of mental fitness and why awareness is the foundation for positive change. Participants explore core values, self-care, routines and everyday behaviours that influence mental fitness at work and at home. The session helps individuals recognise early signs of pressure and overload, understand what supports their wellbeing, and begin taking responsibility for their own mental fitness in a practical, non-clinical way. 

Stress Recognition (including habits) 

This session focuses on understanding stress and pressure and how they show up in daily working life. Participants learn what stress actually is, how it builds over time, and why habits play such a key role in either increasing or reducing pressure. Using simple models such as the stress container, the session explores coping strategies, habit loops and practical ways to manage stress more effectively, especially during busy or demanding periods.

Thoughts, Feelings & Behaviours (including sleep) 

This session explores the link between thoughts, emotions and behaviours, helping participants understand how their internal dialogue affects mood, decisions and performance. It also includes a practical focus on sleep, explaining how poor sleep impacts emotional regulation, thinking and resilience. Participants gain simple tools to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, improve emotional control and make realistic changes that support better sleep and overall mental fitness 

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the training day, delegates will: 

  • Understand what mental fitness is and why awareness is the starting point 
  • Recognise stress triggers and how habits influence pressure and resilience 
  • Understand how thoughts, feelings, behaviours and sleep interact 
  • Gain practical tools to manage pressure, improve sleep and protect energy
