Positive Intelligence with Judy McHugh

Mental Fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).Research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.

A key to Mental Fitness is to weaken the internal Saboteurs who generate all your “negativity” in the way they respond to challenges. Your Saboteurs cause your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, regret, shame, guilt, and unhappiness.

Your “Sage” lives in an entirely different region of your brain and handles challenges in ways that produce positive emotions like curiosity, empathy, creativity, calm, and clear-headed laser-focused action. You’d perform better and feel happier.

During this discussion, you will learn about building your mental muscles to shift from your Saboteur to your Sage perspective through self-command, leading to results you never thought possible.
