Measuring Mental Fitness
Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).
​
This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
​
Research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.
How You Self Sabotage
A key to Mental Fitness is to weaken the internal
Saboteurs who generate all your "negativity" in the way they respond to challenges. Your Saboteurs cause all your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, regret, shame, guilt, and unhappiness. Saboteurs include :
​
The Judge
The Controller
The Avoider
The Victim
The Stickler
And five others
​
Your "Sage" lives in an entirely different region of your brain and handles challenges in ways that produce positive emotions like curiosity, empathy, creativity, calm and clear-headed laser-focused action. You'd perform better and feel happier.
​
Breakthrough Results of Boosting PQ
Performance: You perform better while working less hard--similar to athletes "in the zone."
Happiness: You feel less stressed, more peace, and consistent happiness, even in tough times.
Relationships: You improve relationships, able to handle conflicts in ways that deepen trust and harmony.
