We are living in extremely challenging, uncertain and fast-changing times.
Irrespective of where we live in the world, the demands that life & work are putting on us are leading to most of us experiencing unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety & emotional exhaustion.
Whether it is due to the war in Ukraine, crisis around the rising cost of living, looming recession, debates around dubious laws, gun violence, job losses/layoffs or just the relentless barrage of grim news we consume on media, we are experiencing mental & emotional upheaval today, like we have never seen before.
Data suggests that the after-effects of the Covid pandemic and the uncertainties in our workplaces and our lives are causing debilitating mental & emotional health consequences :
A global study by Qualtrics threw up the following distressing statistics :
- 42% of people have experienced a decline in mental health
- 67% of people are experiencing increases in stress
- 57% have increased anxiety
- 54% are emotionally exhausted
- 50% are irritable and have frequent trouble with relationship conflicts
Psychological research shows that if these signs of stress & mental health decline are not addressed in early stages, individuals risk facing burnout, which is a psychological state where an individual already has exhausted their psychological resources to recover from the mental challenges they face.
The human mind is not hardwired for so much uncertainty & stress. We therefore often find our mind sabotaging our success & happiness. Automatic, unproductive mental patterns (called as “Saboteurs” in the Positive Intelligence Framework) are responsible for most of the stress & anxiety we experience.
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a powerful framework, rooted in Positive Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioral Science & Performance Science, that helps us understand the roots of automatic mental patterns (Self-sabotaging mental patterns) that cause most of our stress & anxiety.
Using the power of Positive Intelligence for Mind-Training, we can become aware of deep-seated subconscious mental patterns that come in the way of us finding sustainable peace, happiness & success.
Building Positive Intelligence thus helps us in re-wiring the mind, to build our mental & emotional fitness sustainably, so that we can face challenges in life and work with a positive rather than negative mindset.
If this piques your interest, & you would like to learn more about your own Self-Sabotaging mental patterns, take the Free Positive Intelligence Self-Assessment Test to understand how you are self-sabotaging.
