Wellness Wisdom By Steph

Introducing Positive Intelligence? PQ?:

Overview:

Positive Intelligence? (PQ?,) is a powerful concept developed by Shirzad Chamine that focuses on improving your mental fitness. PQ?, measures the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteurs). By increasing your PQ?, you can achieve greater emotional resilience, happiness, and success.

Key Components:

Saboteurs:

These are the negative voices in your head that generate stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. There are 10 saboteurs in all.

Sage:

This represents your positive mental muscle. The Sage perspective involves empathy, exploration, innovation, navigation, and activation

Benefits of Practicing PQ?

• Reduced Stress: Learn to quiet the Saboteurs and manage stress effectively.
• Improved Relationships: Enhance empathy and communication with others.
• Increased Motivation: Cultivate a positive mindset that drives you towards your goals.
• Better Decision-Making: Approach challenges with clarity and creativity

Getting Started with PQ? Self-Assessment:

Take a PQ? assessment to identify your top Saboteurs. You can find this assessment https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/ .

Daily Practices:

Incorporate short, frequent PQ? exercises into your daily routine. These exercises help shift your mindset from negative to positive

Nourishing Your Body with Whole Foods

Overview:

Eating whole foods is one of the best ways to nourish your body and support your overall health. Whole foods are minimally processed and rich in nutrients, providing the energy and vitality needed for an active lifestyle.

Benefits of Whole Foods

• Improved Digestion: Whole foods are high in fiber, which promotes healthy digestion.
• Better Energy Levels: Nutrient-dense foods provide sustained energy throughout the day.
• Weight Management: Whole foods can help you maintain a healthy weight.
• Enhanced Immune Function: Nutrients in whole foods support a strong immune system.

Incorporating Whole Foods into Your Diet

• Fruits and Vegetables: Aim to fill half your plate with a variety of colorful fruits and veggies at each meal.
• Whole Grains: Choose whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats over refined grains.
• Lean Proteins: Include sources like beans, lentils, fish, and poultry.
• Healthy Fats: Opt for healthy fats from avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
