Age Well with a positive mindset

Getting older can be challenging for most of us. We’re not ready for the changes in our bodies that comes with aging. But you can build a more positive mind by laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. And that’s what this program empowers you to do.

Why is a positive mindset Important to age well?

Many aspects of health and the aging process in general are within our control. One of the most powerful is how we think about aging. Healthy aging begins in the mind.

Healthy aging is having the mindset that you will do whatever is needed in order to continue doing the things that you love and are important to you as you grow older.

People with more positive attitudes about growing old tend to live longer and healthier lives than those with negative thoughts about aging, according to recent research.

We can build our mental fitness to increase our positive intelligence so we can age well. That’s what this program is all about.

what is positive intelligence?

Positive Intelligence®️ is based on research to discover the core factors that impact both performance and wellbeing. This research revealed that there are only 10 negative response factors (10 Saboteurs) and only five positive response factors (5 Sage Powers).

Discovering these root-level factors of performance and wellbeing dramatically simplifies personal development.

The PQ Program is a mental fitness program that enables wellness, performance, and positive relationships. Developed by Shirzad Chamine, this six-week program empowers you to create sustained change toward a more positive mind by laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice.

What to Expect

daily practice

15 minutes/day of app-guided practice enables you to build stronger mental muscles (neural pathways). These exercises are bite-sized to fit your busy schedule and customized based on how you self-sabotage.

weekly focus

Weekly hour-long video delivers deep experiential exploration of the week’s focus. You’ll feel inspired and energized to practice during the week in order to sustain the benefits experienced during the video sessions.

measurable progress

You’ll feel motivated through instant feedback on exactly how much progress you’re making towards building the three core muscles of mental fitness. Brain rewiring may be visible in MRI imaging within eight weeks.

Community support

We help you establish a support and accountability group with other program participants. Research has shown this to be a critical success factor for establishing lasting new positive habits of the mind.

How We Self-Sabotage

A critical part of this program is helping you identify how you self-sabotage. We all have Saboteurs. These are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions as you handle life’s everyday challenges. Identifying your Saboteurs is especially important for you to build a positive mindset as you age. Your Saboteurs cause all of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness.

Even if you don’t enroll in the program. Take the Saboteur Assessment. It’s the first step to conquering your Saboteurs — to expose their lies and limiting beliefs.

Six-Week Foundation

  • Through a breakthrough process called PQ Reps, you get to boost your Self-Command muscle. Each PQ Rep only takes 10 seconds and can be done with eyes open or closed. With each PQ Rep, you develop greater mastery over your own mind, quiet the negative, and activate the positive region of your brain.

  • You get to intercept your top Saboteurs the moment they try to hijack your thoughts, feelings, and actions. In preparation for this practice, you get to expose the lies, limiting beliefs and damage of your Saboteurs, so they can no longer fool you into thinking they are helpful to you.

  • You get to practice the Sage Perspective that every problem or challenge can be converted into a gift and opportunity. And you get to generate the gift through the 5 Sage Powers of Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate.

What Makes this Program Different?

  • Focus on forming Positive Habits

    Most mindset programs result 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.”

  • Goes to the Root Cause of Negative thinking

    Factor analysis in the development of this program reveals the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal wellbeing. We rewire the brain at the root cause level.

  • Basis for Ongoing Growth

    Similar to physical fitness, mental fitness is not a short-term training. After the initial six week foundation, unlock a variety your potential for continuous growth, no matter how old you are.

FAQs

  • This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you.

  • Some people believe that negative emotions are helpful. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement.

    Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your Saboteurs keep your hand on the hot stove, continuing to feel negative emotions which harm both performance and happiness.

    In this program we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively.

  • You’d be committing to watching a one-hour video once per week and doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the Positive Intelligence app exclusively designed for this program.

    This might sound like a lot of time. In fact, cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the program. Please consider that your Saboteurs are costing you far more than 2% of your time, effort, energy, and productivity. Consider how much more than 2% of time and productivity this six-weeks investment will save for years to come.
