WASHINGTON, DC, USA - March 05, 2026 - Millions around the world started 2026 with resolutions for positive change. The most common relate to exercise, diet, finance and mental health. But now, nearly two months into the year, many resolutions have already faded. According to a Forbes Health poll, many resolutions are lost by January, while the average resolution lasts only 3-4 months. The failure rate is so widespread that the second Friday of January has been informally dubbed “Quitter’s Day” after a global fitness-tracking app analyzed the short-lived January uptick prevalent in hundreds of millions of its users’ activity logs.

With so many people struggling to maintain their resolve, volunteers from Hubbard Dianetics Foundations around the world want you to know that those setbacks don’t need to define your 2026 goals. To close out February, Dianetics volunteers in over 50 countries united to reach out and bring a proven, lasting mental health solution to their communities. They are answering the pervasive global demand of people wanting to get proactive about mental health.

Volunteers brought the message to snow-covered streets and squares in winter capitals and cities throughout the British Isles, in the United States, Scandinavia and across Europe’s cultural centers. The outreach also hit warmer climates throughout the southern hemisphere in sun-soaked beaches and hotspots from São Paolo to Sydney and Quito to Capetown.

They donned iconic red Dianetics gear, with winter coats at Piccadilly Circus and T-shirts on Sydney’s beaches. Teams provided free stress tests to tens of thousands in more than 250 cities and offered the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard, the all-time bestselling book on the human mind.

The word Dianetics is derived from the Greek dia, meaning “through,” and nous, “mind or soul” and is further defined as “what the mind (or soul) is doing to the body.” The book describes the single source for a person’s stress, anxiety and unwanted emotions and gives practical tools one can read and apply to remove them.

The results of Dianetics are what drive those who have experienced it to share the book and its technology. Lucas Layton was out on the streets in Washington, DC and shared his own experience. “My past had always been weighing me down. I had developed a shy, introverted personality, I had trouble communicating and a lack of self-confidence in my abilities. I always had a feeling that I had more innate abilities -- God-given talents – and that my full potential was not being reached,” said Layton. “Then I found Dianetics! Using its techniques blew away the baggage from my past. It unleashed a tremendous amount of energy, enthusiasm for life, and success; I now feel alive and capable of going after my goals and dreams.

“It has also become a mission of mine to pay it forward and help others unleash their own full potential, to help them build the successful life they want.

“If you’re suffering from shyness, anxiety, sadness or depression, find out about Dianetics for yourself and see if it can help you. I know in my life it has been a complete game-changer.”

With many in Washington, DC seeking to make a fresh start while the year is still young, Dianetics offers a proven path to take control of your mental health and find relief from stress and anxiety. The path starts with reading the book that 22 million have turned to for a clear understanding of the mind. Every weekend more than 330 Dianetics centers in 55 countries offer Dianetics Seminars where people looking to improve their mental well-being can start on their journey to do so. In the past 6 months in Washington, DC alone, over 2500 people have signed up to learn how to take control of their mental health with Dianetics.
