Mental Fitness is the X Factor
summary
Argues mental fitness is an upgradeable operating system with three mental muscles — saboteur interceptor, sage, self‑command — proven by a training program (Positive Intelligence/PQ) that maps 10 saboteurs and prescribes concrete PQ reps (finger‑rubbing, breathing, visualization) plus a free online assessment and an app. Recommends 15 minutes a day, ideally three short sessions, treats practice like couch‑to‑5K, and claims measurable gains in peak performance, calmer decision‑making, and healthier relationships; cites Simone Biles and coaching case studies as evidence.
