Why Mental Fitness?
What’s Mental Fitness got to do with creativity?!
Most of us waste a lot of time and energy getting in our own way. We’re busy judging, avoiding, people-pleasing, aiming for perfection, multi-tasking, worrying… when we could be having a really good time creating! Discover your mental fitness score here.
Mental fitness is the foundational skill for creativity, resilience, and productivity.
Creativity:
Creativity requires focus and flexibility. Daydreaming and daring to be different. Structure and spontaneity. At different times. You need to be able to switch effectively. That takes mental fitness.
Resilience:
You need to stop thinking about the past, or the future, or the world outside so that you can immerse yourself in whatever you’re creating. To remain calm and think clearly when you’re being overwhelmed by strong emotions, like fears about job insecurity / family sickness / financial problems. That takes mental fitness.
Productivity:
We have to train our brain to do as we want it to do. To think the type of thoughts that support us and our work. To see opportunities rather than obstacles. That takes mental fitness.

An Advanced Retreat
The benefits of a retreat, without leaving home.
What if you could enjoy the benefits of a retreat every day of your life? You don’t need to pay thousands in retreat and travel costs, or take weeks of time away, only to come home and a few days later find you’re still where you were before you went away.
Our app-based Positive Intelligence® programme will enable you to develop new skills and mental self-command in just a few minutes a day — at home, at work, or when you’re out and about. You’ll have eight weeks of small-group training and support, and a year of Positive Intelligence app access to provide you with a virtual coach in your pocket. Combined, these resources will lead to LASTING change. You’ll be able to continue building on that powerful new version of yourself.
What process does it follow?
For eight weeks, you will:
- Spend a few minutes a day on the Positive Intelligence app
- Watch 1 hour per weekend (Friday – Sunday) of educational videos
- Participate in eight, 1-hour weekly live zoom calls in a small group with us and your fellow pod-members
- Optional – read or listen to the first eight chapters of the Positive Intelligence book (included with our compliments)
- Check in with fellow pod-members to share learnings, celebrate, support, and encourage each other
- Receive ongoing accountability to stay on track
- As a bonus, you can have a complimentary 30 minute 1-1 coaching session with Sonia during the course
The Process:
The Results:
In eight short weeks, you will have developed the three core muscles of mental fitness and enjoy:
Greater Focus:
Using the Self Command skill, building new neural pathways to form positive habits that serve you.
Greater Calm:
Intercepting Saboteur thoughts that subtly (or blatantly) mess with your thinking, your peace of mind, your creativity and your success.
Greater Creativity:
Using your newSage perspective, following the path of ease and flow, of possibility, and finding the gift and opportunity in everything.
“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
— Sylvia Plath
The Framework:
The Positive Intelligence system has simplified complex psychological principles into a streamlined mental framework that’s easy to use, and easy to apply to your life. It has identified the main ways we get in our own way through habitual negative thought patterns called Saboteurs. We all have them. And we all have one or two particular gang-leaders.
- Have you ever thought “I’ll never be a good enough healer, so why waste my time trying”? That’s the Judge
- If you regularly tell yourself “I’ll just check my social media / nip to the shops / organise my sock drawer before I start meditating”, that’s the Avoider
- If you take care of others before taking care of your career, that’s the Pleaser
- If you can’t start your studies until the house is clean and the laundry ironed, that’s the Stickler
- If you’re always in the middle of three projects and never stick to any of them long enough to finish it, that’s the Restless.
Do you see yourself here? Can you see yourself in our course?
To find out which your top Saboteurs are, and how they’re holding you back, take the test here, and then email us your results at hello@unlimitedcreativitycourse.com
The Science:
You have two very different parts of your brain:
the Survival region (where your inner Saboteurs live) and the Thrive region (where your inner Sage lives). The Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, shame, anger …) when you’re up against life’s challenges. Your Sage handles life’s challenges with empathy, compassion, joyful creativity and calm, clear-headed action.
Which one do you want running your life?
Over tens of thousands of years, our brains have evolved to be hard-wired to instantaneously default to the Survival region. We wouldn’t still be here as a species if it hadn’t. But it’s not a great place from which to thrive, create, and enjoy life. We actually need to rewire our brains (leverage neuroplasticity to create new neural pathways) to interrupt old patterns and choose a Sage response instead. And that’s what this course will teach you to do.
Over the eight weeks, we’ll repeatedly intercept our Saboteur lies and strengthen our Sage responses through the process of PQ Reps: 10-second exercises that build the mental muscle so that the Sage response becomes our new default.
We’ll build our mental fitness so that our Sage brain is running our life – and our life is full of creativity!
“To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
— Joseph Chilton Pearce
The Programme:
So how does the course work?
The course is as brief as we can make it, but not briefer. Eight weeks is the minimum amount of time necessary for these positive changes to take root.
Week 1: The Self-Command Muscle
You’ll establish a routine of easy 10-second exercises to energise your Sage brain and boost your Self-Command muscle. They can be done with eyes open or closed — at home or at work. With each repetition, you develop greater mastery over your own mind, quieten the negative, and activate the positive region of your brain.
It’s deceptively simple, easier than meditation, but providing the same results.
Week 2: The Judge
We’ll expose the true impact of the primary Saboteur, the Judge, and catch it moment it tries to hijack your thoughts, feelings and actions. Then we’ll celebrate catching it out.
Week 3: Accomplice Saboteurs
You’ll discover your top two accomplice Saboteurs and learn a different 10-second technique to counter each. We’ll expose their lies, limiting beliefs and the damage they can cause, so they can no longer fool you into thinking they are helpful to you.
Week 4: Empathise
Discover and fall in love with your own beautiful, unchanging essence-self, your Sage, and shift from conditional to unconditional love.
Week 5: Sage Perspective, Explore, Innovate
Learn how to accept and convert any circumstance into a gift and opportunity using the Sage Perspective, and generate the gifts through the Explore and Innovate powers.
Week 6: Activate
Unleash the Sage Activate power and take clear-headed, laser-focused, decisive action. Leaning into this power creates ease and flow in everything you do.
Week 7: Use it or lose it – how to keep going with Navigate
You’ve built up your mental muscle, congratulations!
So now what? You wouldn’t go to the gym for two months and think “That’s it, I’m fit. I can get back to my couch now”.
The same is true of mental fitness. This week you’ll tap into the fifth Sage Power, Navigate, to reveal what’s truly important to you, what would make your life most meaningful and fulfilling, and how to get there.
You’ll have the Positive Intelligence app at your disposal for the rest of the year. Use it!
The possibilities are… Unlimited.
Week 8: The end is just the beginning
We take time to integrate all the learning and look at the applications of the PI operating system.

FAQ:
It sounds great – but I don’t have the time
If you’ve ever played games on your phone instead of being creative, you have time.
If you’ve ever moped around because you’re in a low mood, you have time.
If you’ve ever had a row with your partner and been too angry to think straight, you have time.
If you’ve ever wondered where the day went, ending with nothing done, you have time.
Here’s the thing: all these events have robbed you of far more time than the few minutes a day you’d be investing in building your mental fitness to avoid such situations. When you’re mentally fit, you don’t get overwhelmed by negative thoughts or emotions. They just don’t affect you the same way. So you’re free to focus on what you know you want to do — create — with a clear head and an open heart.
It sounds great. But regular mental fitness exercises? Won’t that kill my creativity?
We often feel that to be creative, we need to be at the mercy of our inspiration. The truth is the opposite. W Somerset Maugham (one of the most commercially successful and gifted writers of the twentieth century) knew this when he said: “I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o’clock sharp.”
