Just as there are only 3 foundational colors among thousands – red, yellow, and blue – factor analysis research shows that there are only 10 Saboteurs that block performance and 5 Sage Powers.
If you’re not physically fit, you’d feel physical stress as if you were climbing up a steep hill. If you’re not mentally fit, you’d feel mental stress, such as anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness, as you go about your workday or handle relationship challenges.
What drives your mental fitness is your ability to adapt to life’s challenges with positive emotions instead of negative ones. In our busy and demanding world, we face challenges and change all the time. Mental fitness is therefore imperative if we are to live our best lives.
The impact of mental fitness includes:
The Judge character is the Master Saboteur, the only one that all of us has to some extent. I promise you have the Judge, your parents, your friends, everybody. The Judge has 3 modalities and the first one is the self-judge or the inner critic, the one that wakes you up at 3 in the morning and says “you idiot, how could you make that stupid mistake again”? Or it’s the voice that tells you “I don’t think you’re gonna make that work tomorrow. I think you’re gonna fail”. It’s the voice that berates you for past imperfections and future failure.
The second modality is the one that judges other people – it sizes other people up – “this one’s too talkative, this one’s too dense”. It finds things that are wrong instead of looking for what’s right.
The third mode of the Judge, and one you are not always aware of, is the one that is constantly finding what’s wrong with your situation and circumstances so that you can’t be happy. It tells you you can’t be happy right now because these circumstances are bad and you can’t be happy until this change happens, until you buy this, until the virus ends – causing a lot of stress.
Research of over 500,000 individuals including corporate CEOs, leadership teams, sales teams, world class athletes, students, and individuals has identified 10 Saboteurs that block our performance and well being, and 5 Sage powers that help us shift to high performance and ease and flow.
It takes 6 weeks of practice to begin to see a significant shift in grey matter in the brain, using only 3 core muscles. You move faster and faster from negative emotions to positive emotions.
