In this episode of Selling St Pete, your host, Nicole Saunches, delves into the holiday season and how to navigate it with grace, focusing on mental well-being. Joining her is Kelly Abanda, a Positive Intelligence Coach with Design Your Detour, as they explore strategies to avoid the top 3 mistakes that often lead to increased stress during this festive time.

\n

Nicole and Kelly set the stage by discussing the common stressors people face during the holiday season, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being. Additionally, they introduce the concept of Positive Intelligence, otherwise known as PQ. Positive Intelligence refers to the capacity to respond to life's challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. It is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles versus the negative ones.

\n

The top 3 mistakes people make to increase holiday stress:

\n
    \n
  1. Trying to make everyone happy
    2. \n
  2. Saying Yes when you want/need to say no
    3. \n
  3. Wanting others to do it YOUR way
    4. \n
\n

Utilizing PQ strategies, the goal of Positive Intelligence is to enhance the positive mental muscles and weaken the saboteurs, leading to improved mental fitness and resilience. It's about developing the ability to see challenges as opportunities for growth, cultivating a more optimistic mindset, and building stronger mental habits.
