Mental Fitness

Mental Fitness is the X-Factor

When you’re not physically fit, you feel physically stressed as you attempt to climb a steep hill.

When you’re not mentally fit, you feel mental stress, such as anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness, as you handle work and relationship challenges.

80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness.

The great news? With recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology, you can now improve your mental fitness significantly with 2 months of focused practice.

The results? Dramatically improved performance and productivity and a calm, clear and happier mind.

Measuring Mental Fitness (PQ)

Mental Fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).

Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.

Your Sage handles challenges through positive emotions like empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, and calm, clear-headed, focused action.

The relative strength of your positive Sage versus negative Saboteurs is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).

PQ is the measure of your Mental Fitness. It's the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.

You can boost your PQ significantly with practice.

This research is summarized in Shirzad Chamine's book Positive Intelligence, a New York Times bestseller, translated into 20 languages.

The research reveals that:

Saboteurs and Sage live in entirely different regions of the brain.
You can cause a dramatic shift in brain activation to weaken Saboteurs and boost Sage.

3 Core Muscles of Mental Fitness

3 Core muscles constitute your mental fitness:

1. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle

Your Saboteurs generate all your negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, self-doubt and anger. Mental fitness develops the ability to intercept and discredit your Saboteurs.

2. Sage Muscle

Your Sage handles challenges with a clear and calm mind, using positive emotions. Learn to boost your Sage by activating the 5 Sage powers.

3. Self-Command Muscle

You’re not in full command of your mind. If you were, you would choose to not stress out over what you can’t control, push away self-doubts, recover from disappointments immediately, and spend little time in anger, regret, or blame.

PQ Reps are innovative 10-second exercises which build up this crucial Self-Command muscle in the brain. You learn to run your brain, rather than allow your Saboteur-hijacked brain to run you.

Participants also receive ongoing support through the private group chat on the app.

Breakthrough Results

Within 8 weeks of mental fitness training you'd be able to see the results in MRI imaging:

Increased grey matter in the PQ Brain region, where your Sage lives
Decreased grey matter in the Survivor Brain region, where your Saboteurs live

Improvements in these competencies lead to substantial results:

At MetLife, trained salespeople outsold the control group by 37%
Motorolla recorded improved productivity in 93% of trained employees
In a UK restaurant group, higher competency resulted in 34% greater profit growth
At Sanofi-Aventis Pharmaceutical, the average salesperson with improved competency sold $55,200 more per month
At L’Oreal, strength in these competencies resulted in $91,370 increase per sales person
At CIBC, strength in these competencies account for 32% of booked sales and 71% of pipeline sales.
