What's Your Personal Mindfulness Quotient (PMQ)?

Discover why the same patterns keep repeating in your life — and how to break free

You're a leader. You're smart. You're capable. You work hard. So why do certain situations keep playing out the same way as Before of your history? How to have a 'New Story' for your Future?

  • The same conflicts show up in different relationships
  • Your team keeps having "the same meeting" with different topics
  • You know what you should do, but somehow don't do it
  • You feel stuck in patterns you can't quite name or escape
  • The problem isn't you. It's your invisible operating system of the Before of your History.

    Your Personal Mindfulness Quotient (PMQ) reveals the hidden patterns driving your decisions, relationships, and results. Based on the Perview Mindfulness self-coaching framework, this isn't a personality test. It's a diagnostic tool that in Part I is measuring the restorying dimensions of how you actually show up in the world.In Part II, it's about the play 'Our Town' by Thornton Wilder, how there are extraordinary moments in ordinary live.

    The Personal Mindfulness Quotient (PMQ) measures seven dimensions of awareness using the PERVIEW framework

    In Part I three questions each for: 1. Characterize you at your best, 2. Externalize by naming a character as the problem and not naming you, 3. Sympathize with the payoff externalized character has for you, 4. Revise to get at consequences of maintaining this externalized character in your life, 5. Strategize by recalling mostly forgotten Little Wow Moments (LWMs) that were the exception to your externalized character having control, 6. Rehistorize (restory, rewrite, re-author) your usual way of telling your history with several Little wow Moments recalled, and 7. Publicize by telling the 'New Story' of your Future from extending Little Wow Moments into your future, and forming a support group so you do not back slide.
    Then in Part II, t
    he seven questions are inspired by Thornton Wilder's Our Town, where a character asks, "Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?" We took that question and made it practical: Do you notice what you're repeating? Can you feel when you're on autopilot? Do you catch yourself before reacting? The PMQ shows you where you're awake and where you're asleep—so you can do something about it.
