8-week Transformational
Mental fitness Program*
*In partnership with Positive Intelligence Inc.
SUCCESS + HAPPINESS
If you could CHANGE YOUR LIFE with only
10 minutes of practice a day,
WOULD YOU DO IT?
It all starts with your thoughts.
If you’re not physically fit, you feel physical stress when attempting to lift heavy objects or climb challenging hills.
If you’re not mentally fit, you feel mental stress when attempting to deal with life’s heavier or more challenging situations and circumstances.
Research shows that 80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for performing at their best, having truly healthy relationships and experiencing lasting happiness.
The good news? Research also shows that significant improvements can be made in your mental fitness within just 6-weeks of the right practice.
WHAT IS MENTAL FITNESS?
Mental Fitness:
Your capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a helpful positive mindset, rather than an unhelpful negative one.
Why is Mental Fitness Necessary?
Mental fitness is the foundation for success. Without it, you experience overwhelm, self-doubt, anger, shame, guilt, anxiety, etc.
Increasing mental fitness unlocks what’s truly possible for you, increases your capacity to handle life’s challenges and helps you get to where you want to be in life.
That’s why I have partnered with Shirzad Chamine and his colleagues at Positive Intelligence Inc. to make his science-based tools and framework available and accessible to you.
Benefits of Mental Fitness:
– Enjoy healthy relationships
– Perform at optimal, highest levels
– Achieve peace of mind & wellbeing
– Experience success AND happiness
mental fitness & PQ:
The best predictor of how happy you are, how healthy your relationships are and how well you perform relative to your potential is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
EQ & IQ help you know your potential.
PQ helps you achieve it.
PQ is the Mental Fitness measure which measures the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus your negative mental muscles (Saboteurs).
Saboteurs are the unhelpful negative thinking patterns that cause you to react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, guilt, self-doubt, shame, disappointment, anger, worry, etc.
Your Sage is the helpful positive way to handle stressors and challenges as well as harness positive emotions like curiosity, creativity, empathy and self-confidence with calm, clear-headed, aligned action.
You can boost your PQ significantly with practice in only 6 weeks!
“This has been the most impactful training I ever experienced.”
Breakthrough Research
Based on cutting-edge research that synthesized recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science:
- 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 constitute mental fitness.
This research, which included over 500,000 participants in 50 countries, was summarized in Shirzad Chamine’s book Positive Intelligence, a New York Times bestseller, translated into 20 languages.
3 Core muscles of mental fitness:
1. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle
Your Saboteurs generate all your negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, avoidance, procrastination, insensitivity or discontent. Mental fitness requires the ability to intercept and discredit the Saboteurs.
2. Sage Muscle
Your Sage is the one in you that handles challenges with a clear and calm mind, and positive emotions. It also has access to your 5 primary powers.
All you need to paint any canvas is 3 primary colors. Similarly, through factor analysis research it’s been discovered that you only 5 primary powers: Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate.
For peak performance, you learn to boost all 5 powers and know when to use which power.
3. Self-Command Muscle
You’re not in full command of your mind. If you were, you would choose to entirely silence the Saboteurs in your head. 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.
Within 6-8 weeks of mental fitness training, there are visible results in MRI imaging:
Increased grey matter in the PQ Brain region, where your Sage lives (the areas associated with insight, creativity, response flexibility, emotional regulation, inspiration, etc.).
Decreased grey matter in the Survivor Brain region, where your Saboteurs live (the areas associated with stress, anxiety, fear, anger, etc.).
Do you need this program?
Ask yourself:
Do I find myself…
☐ Saying yes when you want to be saying no?
☐ Avoiding conversations that need to happen?
☐ Feeling like you will finally be happy when _____?
☐ Frustrated, impatient or angry when things don’t go your way or people don’t do what you say?
☐ Beating yourself up for things that are outside of your control?
☐ Judging yourself or others harshly?
☐ Exhausted, and that you need to work less and relax more?
☐ Compelled to always be outstanding at what you do or not even bother?
☐ Feeling like an imposter?
☐ Procrastinating more than you should?
☐ Feeling stressed or anxious?
☐ Continually frustrated by the same things that challenge you?
☐ Not moving forward as fast as you know you can?
☐ Ready for some guided help?
If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, then your Saboteurs may be running the show. This program to INCREASE YOUR MENTAL FITNESS and stop getting in your own way might be exactly the solution you need.

Daily Progress Tracking
Learn how to command your mind to shift from Saboteur to Sage response. Using innovative 10-second PQ Reps, you’ll build up your Self-Command muscle to be clear-headed and calm even in the midst of great challenges.
Just like lifting 2 lb, 5 lb, and 12 lb free-weights builds muscle over time, structured 2-minute, 5-minute and 12-minute intervals in the gym can help you build your Self-command mental muscle.
The app tracks your daily progress against minimum targets associated with new neural pathway (muscle) formation and personalizes your practice to combat your own top Saboteurs as identified by the Saboteur Assessment.
Personalized daily tips from Shirzad help you activate your “inner coach” to both encourage and challenge you to keep going.
Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine
To support your learning and deepen your understanding, the first eight chapters of Shirzad’s New York Times bestseller, Positive Intelligence, is available as both a PDF and an audiobook via the app.
Accountability Pod
Research indicates that there is a 500% increased likelihood of establishing positive new habits when supported by accountability partners.
Every participant in the PQ Mental Fitness program is placed in a peer-support group called a Pod.
Pod members meet once a week in this group coaching session to discuss the week’s training. Pod members are also able to communicate privately with each other using the Community Channel inside the PQ app. Each Pod is limited to 5 participants.
Pods meet virtually at a time mutually agreed upon, with all Pod members having already watched the weekly video sessions and engaged with daily practice on the PQ App.
1:1 Coaching & Support
Before the start of the program, you will be able to have a virtual 30-minute onboarding call (optional) to answer your questions and set you up for success.
Because you are unique, so are your challenges. You will have the opportunity to also receive a virtual 1:1, 60-minute coaching session (optional) for personalized help and guidance with your individual situation.
What's The Time Commitment?
You’d be committing to watching up to 1-hour’s worth of video lessons during the course of each week and doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the PQ app exclusively designed for this program. Additionally, you have the opportunity of attending weekly 30-45 minute Pod meetings.
Feeling like it’s too much time?
Cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time. Research shows that your Saboteurs are costing you far more time, energy, and productivity.
Consider how much simply investing 2% of your time now for only six-weeks will do for you for years to come.
What's covered in the training?
Week 1: Boost Your Self-Command Muscle
