Mental Fitness Training
Grow your mental fitness to thrive in challenging times
From Self Sabotage to Success in 6 weeks!
If you’re not physically fit, you’d feel physical stress as you climb a steep hill.
If you’re not mentally fit, you’d feel mental stress, such as anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness, as you handle work and relationship challenges.
Kickstart your mental fitness and retrain your brain to improve how you handle stress and minimise the ways you self sabotage in just 6 weeks.
The results? Dramatically improved performance and productivity, and a calm, clear and happier mind.
Do you find yourself...
Feeling like an imposter?
Procrastinating?
Judging yourself or others?
Trying to control people or situations?
Avoiding conversations that need to happen?
Saying yes when you wanted to say no?
Those are the self-sabotaging parts of your mind at work
‘Saboteurs’ react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.
But there is another way to respond. An approach which leads to a quicker recovery when you are thrown off balance.
You can train your brain to respond with a positive mindset rather than negative mindset and put yourself in the driving seat more often.
Introducing the 6 week mental fitness bootcamp
Adansonia Coaching has partnered with Positive Intelligence to deliver a programme that combines coaching and an app based course of daily exercises (only 15 minutes a day!) to boost your mental fitness.
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science validated by over half a million participants in 50 countries. This research was summarised in Shirzad Chamine’s book Positive Intelligence, a New York Times bestseller, translated into 20 languages
Research included: hundreds of CEOs, sales, operations, and technology teams, Stanford students & elite athletes
How does it work?
Sustained transformational change requires 20% insight and 80% muscle building. The key to making a lasting change is to identify the root cause, and then build a mental muscle to shift you from a self-sabotage mindset to a positive one. Train your brain so that it’s easier to make positive choices and bounce back quicker from difficult moments.
The course content and coaching provide the insight, and the daily practice inside the app help you build your mental muscle. After a few weeks, you’ll have rewired your brain to become more resilient, leading to increased productivity and happiness.
To get a taster and experience a couple of the exercises, you can watch “Mental Fitness with Shirzad Chamine” - a one hour interview conducted by Action for Happiness in February 2021.
The 6 week programme includes:

Increased levels of happiness, performance and productivity in all areas of your life.
Banishing the imposter syndrome through renewed levels of confidence.
More self compassion: being able treat yourself (and others) with greater kindness and empathy.

Want to know more?
Take the free assessment to understand the ways in which you self-sabotage. You can’t defeat an enemy that you don’t see, or one that successfully masquerades as your friend. So the first step is to identify your Saboteurs and expose their lies to discredit them.
Once you have the results, contact us to book a call to diagnose your Saboteurs and discuss how the PQ Mental Fitness program will best support your goals.
Measuring Mental Fitness
Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).
Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.
Your Sage handles challenges through positive emotions like empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action.
The relative strength of your positive Sage versus negative Saboteurs is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
PQ is the measure of your Mental Fitness. It's the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.
You can boost your PQ significantly with practice..
6 weeks of Inspired Practice
-
Week 1: Boost your Self-Command Muscle
The first week you learn innovative 10-second PQ Reps that boost your self-command. This enables you to run your brain rather than being run by your Saboteur-hijacked brain. Self-command is key to intercepting unhelpful mental habits and rewiring your brain to respond more effectively.
-
Week 2: Intercept the Judge Saboteur
For this entire week, you'll intercept and weaken the most damaging Saboteur, the Judge. You discover how judging yourself, others, and circumstances is a key source of your stress and quite damaging to your performance. Most participants discover their Judge to be far more prevalent and damaging than they suspected.
-
Week 3: Intercept Your Accomplice Saboteurs
This week you intercept and weaken the top accomplice to your Judge Saboteur, identified through the Saboteur Assessment from the following: Avoider, Controller, Hyper-Achiever, Hyper-Rational, Hyper-Vigilant, Pleaser, Restless, Stickler, Victim.
-
Week 4: Shift From Saboteur to Sage
After weakening your Saboteurs, it is now time to strengthen your Sage, the counterpart 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.
-
Week 5: Boost the Sage Powers
The Sage region of the brain enables 5 primary powers. Analogous to the 3 primary colors, these 5 powers recombine to form all of the emotional intelligence competencies considered crucial to professional success.
-
Week 6: Take Clear-Headed, Laser-Focused Action
In our final week, you use your Sage's Navigate and Activate powers to take clear-headed, laser-focused, decisive action. Align your actions with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, and use your Sage's Activate power to act without fear or emotional distractions even in midst of great crises.
