They strengthen your Sage Muscle to progress you through the levels. ### Difference between a Sage Step and a PQ rep **A PQ Rep is:** - 10 seconds of bringing your primary attention to a physical sensation. - It is the simplest form of interrupting your autopilot mind and going to Self-Command. **A Sage Step is:** - 10 seconds of initiating a Sage choice. - Taking a Sage Step means you are one step closer to Sage. Your first PQ Rep that breaks you out of autopilot mind is one type of Sage Step. ### Muscle Points (MPs) daily maximum **Daily Muscle Points (MPs)** - You will notice that there is a maximum number of daily Muscle Points (MPs) that will be credited to growing your Sage Muscle. - This is similar to physical muscles. You wouldn’t be able to do 500 dumbbell reps in one day to grow instant muscles. - Any additional MPs beyond the daily max are stored in your account and earn benefits in a feature that is not yet implemented in the app. - You can earn a maximum of 36 MPs/day. - Each day you start at 0 MPs for that day, until you earn points. - The app automatically credits you MPs for doing daily focus, recharge, PQ Gym sessions, and Module completion. - You only manually enter two things: - #of Sage Steps - #of minutes of PQ Repping outside of the app, if you did any. - You can enter minutes of continuous PQ Repping if you did any outside the app. - Your FirstRep PQ Rep qualifies as a Sage Step, so you enter it as a Sage Step. *To explore all of the Sage Steps, open the PQ app and go to the Sage Steps screen. Press the “Learn more about Sage Steps” button.* - [PQ Coach Benefits](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Communities](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#communities) - [Sessions](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#sessions) - [Programs](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#programs) - [Coach Pods](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#coach-pods) - [Support](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#support) - [PQ Coach Newsletters](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#pq-coach-newsletters) - [Live Q&A Clips](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#live-qa-clips) - [PQ Coach Pro Benefits](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-pro-benefits?hsLang=en) - [Billing](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [PQ Coach Membership Billing](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/billing?hsLang=en#pq-coach-membership-billing) - [Client Access Billing](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/billing?hsLang=en#client-access-billing) - [Client Management](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/client-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Coach Dashboard](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/client-management?hsLang=en#coach-dashboard) - [Communicate with Clients](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/client-management?hsLang=en#communicate-with-clients) - [Sage Perspective & Saboteurs](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/client-management?hsLang=en#sage-perspective-saboteurs) - [Live Q&A Clips](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/client-management?hsLang=en#live-qa-clips) - [PQ App for Clients](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-app-for-clients?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Saboteur Assessment Results](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-app-for-clients?hsLang=en#saboteur-assessment-results) - [PQ Program](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-app-for-clients?hsLang=en#pq-program) - [Applications](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-app-for-clients?hsLang=en#applications) - [Latest Enhancements](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/latest-enhancements?hsLang=en) - [Continuing Education Units](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/continuing-education-units?hsLang=en#main-content) - [CEUs](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/continuing-education-units?hsLang=en#ceus) - [Getting Started with Certification](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/continuing-education-units?hsLang=en#getting-started-with-certification) - [During the Process of Certification](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/continuing-education-units?hsLang=en#during-the-process-of-certification) - [After Certification](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/continuing-education-units?hsLang=en#after-certification) - [Intellectual Property & Branding](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/intellectual-property-branding?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Images & Logo](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/intellectual-property-branding?hsLang=en#images-logo) - [Webpages](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/intellectual-property-branding?hsLang=en#webpages) - [Social Media](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/intellectual-property-branding?hsLang=en#social-media) - [Cancelation](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/cancelation?hsLang=en) [![Building Mental Fitness for All](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PQ-Logo-Primary-Lockup-TM.png?width=200&height=66&name=PQ-Logo-Primary-Lockup-TM.png "Building Mental Fitness for All")](https://positiveintelligence.com/) © Positive Intelligence 2025 [mailto:support@positiveintelligence.com](mailto:support@positiveintelligence.com) Copyright © 2025, Positive Intelligence Most Visited Articles - [Managing your clients in Coach Dashboard](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/managing-clients?hsLang=en) - [Adding a client](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/adding-a-client?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started on Coach Dashboard](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/getting-started-coachdashboard?hsLang=en) - [PQ Coach Pro Frequently Asked Questions](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-pro-frequently-asked-questions?hsLang=en)
