To understand The 9 Ways We Self Sabotage- take this Test
To understand your mental fitness level, take this 2-minute PQ score test.
Mental fitness is about having the strength or ‘mental muscle’ to deal with the challenges that life presents you with on a daily basis. Most of us already have tools for de-stressing including taking time out from our day, week, life such as a break, a treat, some exercise, a holiday. Mentally fit people have lower stress levels by avoiding stressful situations in the first place. To understand your mental fitness level, take the test below. The measure of your mental fitness is call PQ- Positive Intelligence Quotient. The test will measure your mental fitness and suggest how mentally fit you are, relative to others.
WHAT IS MENTAL FITNESS?
Research involving 500,000 participants showed PQ to be the best method of measuring how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.
The mental fitness bootcamp takes place over seven weeks, starting with an online assessment of your ‘saboteurs’, which are personal traits that are sources of stress for you. After downloading and familiarising yourself with the Positive Intelligence App, the course kicks off with an online video and then a one hour facilitated session with your pod. Each week there will be a new topic, a new video and a new coaching session and each day, the app will provide you with regular coach challenges to improve your mental fitness and help you build ‘mental muscle’. You will work on your saboteurs to reduce negative emotions and behaviours and your ‘sage’ to increase positive emotions and behaviours and ultimately become a calmer, happier, more productive person.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

Daily App Practice
Each weekend, a video is made available to you. They are each one hour in length and should be watched before the weekly pod meeting and the coach challenges begin for the week. In the videos, Shirzad Charmine, the founder of Positive Intelligence Inc. and author of New York Times bestselling book Positive Intelligence, introduces the course, explains the materials, wraps up the previous week, introduces the coming week and helps you to understand the concepts with the help of a visualisation exercise and examples from his own life.
Online video sessions
Facilitated Pod meetings
What is fitness training without a training buddy? To help you navigate the course, overcome obstacles and keep on going, your coach will group you into a pod with up to 5 participants. At the start of Weeks 1 to 6 and once again in week 7 to wrap-up, you will meet virtually with your pod and your coach to discuss the previous week, your saboteurs, your ups and downs, get some support and realise you are not alone!
The pod can also communicate during the week via group chats either within the PQ app or using other social media platforms.
In addition to these three main tools, you may also have individual coaching sessions, depending on your package and preferences.
Add-on coaching and materials are also available if you would like continued support to your mental fitness during and after the initial boot-camp.
If you feel you need that extra boost before, during or after the programme, our coaches are available to support you. You may wish to have one-on-one coaching sessions each week to make sure you are getting the most out of the training or you might find one week particularly challenging and would like to ask for some extra support. You can talk to your coach to arrange these additional sessions.
After the boot-camp, it’s important to keep up the fitness you have achieved. Extra materials are available via app to help you sustain your fitness and you can top up with a 30 minute coaching session each month to keep you on your toes! You coach will help you book this and provide prices for the package that suits you.
How can I maximize and sustain the benefits?
About Positive Intelligence
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS TRAINING
Positive Intelligence and the Positive Intelligence quotient were developed by synthesising recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science. Using corporate leaders, elite athletes, students and participants from 50 countries, Shirzad Chamine and his team conducted extensive research, which is summarised in the New York Times bestselling book, Positive Intelligence. The research reveals that you have ‘saboteurs’ and ‘sage’ living in entirely different parts of your brain. The saboteurs cause negative emotions and behaviours, while the sage fosters positive emotions and behaviour. The research also revealed that a dramatic shift in brain activation is possible in order to weaken the saboteurs and strengthen the sage. This is the basis for mental fitness training. Positive Intelligence also concludes that there are three core muscles that constitute mental fitness: the Saboteur Interceptor muscle, the sage muscle and the self-command muscle.
Research also found that comparing MRI imaging before and after mental fitness training, grey matter in the ‘sage’ area of the brain increases and grey matter in the ‘saboteur’ area of the brain decreases, indicating a shift in activity from negative to positive emotion and behaviour.
