#39: Boosting Mental Fitness With Positive Intelligence*

Welcome back to The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault.

Ever feel like your mind is always on autopilot, tossing negative thoughts at you left and right? Today we’re going to talk about Positive Intelligence, a coaching philosophy that I use in my every day life in order to respond to life’s daily challenges with positive thoughts, instead of negative ones.

So, what’s Positive Intelligence*? Founded by Shirzad Chamine, this coaching philosophy combines neuroscience, performance science, cognitive behavioral psychology and more to help us navigate life’s challenges with a positive mindset. Just like you’d train your muscles at the gym, you can train your brain with this method. It is 100% possible to build mental muscles that boost your performance, wellness, and relationships, having a ripple effect on every aspect of your life.

We'll chat about the foundations and short exercises aimed at keeping those negative thoughts, aka “saboteurs”, in check. Think of these saboteurs as your inner critics—like my hyper-achiever and controller tendencies. Recognizing them is the first step to quieting them. We’ll also talk about how to manage them - by tapping into your sage powers, you can handle stress like a pro and break through the mental roadblocks.

Dive into the episode and discover how Positive Intelligence* can reshape your everyday challenges.

"Mental fitness is your capacity to respond to life's challenges with a positive rather than negative mindset... So if you are going to the gym regularly to build your muscles that are on your body, mental fitness that is taught by Positive Intelligence* does the same thing. It builds that mental muscle."
