Stress Reduction Techniques
You’ve probably heard about a multitude of stress reduction techniques. However, ask yourself, did they work or more importantly, did they become a part of your mental health lifestyle? Unfortunately, most programs only teach the concepts and not the process of integrating into your life. This program helped to rewire my neural pathways so that it is now second nature to utilize when I most need it.
Stanford lecturer and best-selling author Shirzad Chamine has developed a program and book called Positive Intelligence®. Your Positive Intelligence quotient, or ‘PQ’, is a measure of your mental fitness. PQ measures the percentage of time your mind is serving you versus sabotaging you. Independent researchers have validated PQ Score to be the single greatest predictor of how much of your potential for both success and happiness you achieve.
According to Shirzad, 80% of us score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness.
But the good news is that mental fitness can be significantly improved with just 6 weeks of daily practice. Shirzad tells us that doing 100 PQ reps a day to build mental muscles (essentially, creating new neural pathways) is the equivalent of taking 10,000 steps a day for physical fitness or weight training by doing reps with a dumbbell.
HELPING EVERY HUMAN BUILD MENTAL FITNESS SO THEY CAN FULFILL THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL FOR BOTH HAPPINESS AND CONTRIBUTION
How is Mental Fitness different from other programs including stress reduction techniques, meditation, or mindfulness?
Treats Root Cause, Not Symptoms
The factor analysis research has revealed the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal performance and well-being. We rewire the brain at the root cause level.
Focuses On Habit Formation
Most training results in short-lived improvements. For sustained results, we focus on building neural pathways that form lasting new habits. That’s why we call this “mental fitness”.
Develops All 3 Core Muscles
Mental fitness requires 3 core muscles. Saboteur Interceptor, Self-Command, and Sage. Meditation only focuses on Self-Command, which is why it is not sustained by most.
An analysis of more than 200 scientific studies, which collectively tested more than 275,000 people, concluded that higher PQ leads to higher salaries and greater success in the areas of work, marriage, health, sociability, friendship, and creativity.
The PQ app includes a mental fitness gym to offer a variety of PQ exercises using different senses. There are exercises for sitting or walking and they vary in length from 2 to 12 minutes. The app tracks your daily progress so you can check your progress against the targets for creating new neural pathways. It also gives you a daily focus of the day to guide your practice incrementally over 6 weeks.
15 minutes/day of app-guided practice enables you to establish mental muscles (neural pathways). These exercises are bite-sized to fit your busy schedule and customized based on how you self-sabotage.
You may be asking, is this the right program for me?
This is the right program for you if you are:
- Committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress
- Looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick
- Willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you
