MMP109 - Tap into the Energy Formula with Shawn Wells

What fun to talk to Shawn Wells just following his appearance at the 2021 Sun Valley Wellness Festival in my hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho. Shawn was part of a panel discussion exploring the healing benefits of plant medicines. Our interview covers some philosophical insights that undoubtedly connect his time in Sun Valley with his fantastic recent book, The Energy Formula. You'll hear that the structure for The Energy Formula came about through an almost magical process. ENERGY is an acronym that stands for Experiment, Nutrition, Exercise, Routine, Growth, and Your Tribe. The book is Shawn's magnum opus and incorporates hundreds of scientific citations. The book includes chapter summaries, shares a resources guide, and provides a "formulators corner" for each chapter. Shawn wrote- and rewrote- this book during the 2020 covid-19 pandemic. HIs creative endeavors allowed him to turn what was a very fearful and paralyzing situation (for many) into a process to help others. The interview yields 10 "mantras" that will allow you to navigate your life post-pandemic with more grace, health, and fun. Mantra : You can be your own best -and worst -critic. Shawn talks about how he balanced these inner voices to create the best version of his book. Mantra : You can only give to others from an overflowing cup. Make sure not to deplete your cup and practice self-care and self-acceptance. Mantra : Engage your inner child in your creative endeavors. Mantra : Consider taking "hustle," grind," even "work" out of your vocabulary; can you replace them with "ease," "flow," "fun.: and even "play"? Mantra : Using the above mantra, shift from "inner work" into "inner play". Mantra : Chase your own "hell yeses". Mantra : Communicating your own needs is essential to the healing process. Mantra : Grant yourself grace. Mantra : Get past the polarization in today's dialogue; release attachment to something being either "right" or "wrong". Mantra : Release judgment and ask open-ended questions when presented with ideas that differ from your own.
