The key to Mental Fitness is to weaken the internal “Saboteurs” that generate all your “negativity” through the way they respond to challenges. Your Saboteurs cause all your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, regret, shame, guilt, and unhappiness. Saboteurs include your Judge, Controller, Avoider, Stickler, Pleaser, Hyper-Achiever and others below.

Most Common Ways we self sabotage

How do you self-sabotage?

Measure the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).

(Confidential. Transformative)

On the flip side, Your “Sage” lives in an entirely different region of your brain. 

Your “Sage”  handles challenges in ways that produce positive emotions like:

• Curiosity

• Empathy

• Creativity

• Fulfillment

• Calm, clear-headed laser-focused action. 

You perform better and feel happier when you’re connected more consistently to this courageous, wise, energetic “Sage” leader in you.

You can QUICKLY INCREASE the power of your Sage  ̶  and intercept your Saboteurs  ̶   with just 6 weeks of practice, 2-3 minutes at a time.  Here’s how, and why.

Mental Fitness is made up of 3 Core Muscles

Based on research that included 500,000 participants from 50 countries  ̶  including hundreds of leaders, professionals and other individuals like you, as described in the New York Times best-seller Positive Intelligence   ̶  these 3 key muscle groups are:

1. YoUR “SABOTEUR” INTERCEPTOR MUSCLE.

The concept of a Saboteur is a metaphor:  a personification of a group of behaviors that don’t serve you well. In fact, these behaviors derail you and get in the way of your own success. It’s the reason that only about 20% of individuals truly achieve their full potential.

All your NEGATIVE emotions – such as self-doubt, stress, anger, blame, guilt, procrastination, discontent and more are generated by these “Saboteurs”.  Mental fitness equips you with the ability to discredit the false messages of your Saboteurs, intercept them, and disarm them.

2. THE SELF-COMMAND MUSCLE.

These are the mental muscles that enable you to more quickly and effectively silence whichever Saboteurs are jostling for influence. You can build strength in the part of your brain that dissipates self-doubt, and recover from disappointments with greater speed than you have ever known. You can spend much less time in anger, regret or indecision. These muscles can be built with an innovative set of 10-second exercises that build up the crucial Self-Command muscle in the brain. This enables you to prevent a Saboteur-hijacked mindset from running your decisions and actions.

3. YOUR “SAGE” MUSCLES.

The “Sage” is a metaphor for your inner leader. The true you. The one that draws you to peak performance through the POSITIVE powers of your mind. The parts of you that are able to Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate and Take Action, all at just the right time. Your Sage has great access to wisdom and insight. Clarity and certainty. Courage and boldness.

The key here is to quiet the negative, interfering voices and to amp up the volume of your inner leader so you can hear it more quickly and easily.

you HAVE the ability to MANAGE your own mind.

and therefore your beliefs, Feelings, and your outcomes.

And to change what your mind focuses on – to become happier and more effective – insights are not enough. Insights alone do not last.  Instead, most changes come from building the core muscles that give you the strength to act in the face of an onslaught of negative thoughts and behaviors.

• Dramatic productivity improvements:  with less effort

• Better relationships and Team outcomes

• Resilience:  a clear, calm mind that is happier

Your 6 Weeks of Inspired Practice

Click the “+” signs below for details

You learn and practice innovative 10-second PQ Reps that boost your self-command. This enables YOU to rule your own brain rather than being run by your Saboteur-hijacked mind. Self-command is key to intercepting unhelpful mental habits and rewiring your brain to respond more effectively.

This 2nd week, you identify, intercept and weaken the most damaging Saboteur: your internal Judge. You begin to see how judging yourself, others, and your circumstances is a key source of your stress — and how damaging it is to your performance. Most participants discover their Judge is far more prevalent — and damaging — than they suspected.

This week you being to intercept and weaken your TOP “accomplice” Saboteur. What’s that? Look at the results of your Saboteur Assessment and see which of the following was highest for you: Avoider, Controller, Hyper-Achiever, Hyper-Rational, Hyper-Vigilant, Pleaser, Restless, Stickler, Victim.

Having weakened 2 of your top Saboteurs, it’s time to strengthen your Sage. This is your inner leader. The superhero, the antidote to your Saboteurs. Your Sage lives in an entirely different part of your brain, generates all your positive emotions, and achieves peak performance through a calm and clear mind.

The region of the brain we call the “Sage” administers 5 primary powers. Similar in concept to the 3 primary colors (red, yellow, blue), these 5 powers recombine to form all of the emotional intelligence competencies considered to be crucial to professional success.

In our final week, you use your Sage’s Navigate and Activate powers to take clear-headed, laser-focused, decisive action. Apply your Sage’s power to Navigate, by aligning your deeper sense of meaning and purpose with your actions. Use your Sage’s Activate power to act without fear or emotional distractions even in the midst of great crises.

Cohort Pod members meet once a week to discuss how training sessions have progressed, and to encourage each other. Pod members are also able to communicate privately with each other using the PQ Community App.  Participants report this community is key to sustaining their enthusiasm for daily practice.

POD MEETING DATE, TIME, & DURATION

Cohort pods meet live by Zoom Video with Edith Hamilton for 30-45 minutes (for example on Mondays or Tuesdays, as each Pod Group decides based a specific poll of all Pod Members). All Cohort members will have already watched the weekly video session and engaged with daily practice on the App the previous week.
