## Discover What’s Holding You Back

Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions in the way you handle life’s everyday challenges.

They represent automated patterns in your mind for how to think, feel, and respond. Causing you to feel stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness.

The first step to conquering your Saboteurs is to identify them and expose their lies and limiting beliefs.

## Measure Your Mental Fitness

Your PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient, or Positivity Quotient) measures the relative strength of your positive response patterns versus your negative ones.

If you’re physically fit, you can climb steep hills without physical stress. If you’re mentally fit, you can handle life’s great challenges without mental stress, frustration, and other negative emotions.

Take the PQ Score Assessment to discover how often your mind is serving vs. sabotaging you.
