“When I wake up every day I ask myself two very specific questions: 'Who am I at my best?' And I try to be that in that present moment. And 'What type of energy do I want to bring to the day?’”

EFR 409: How to Channel Bad Experiences, Gain Perspective, and Never Stop the Pursuit of a Meaningful Life with Sam Tooley
Facing problems in life is part of being a human. Finding purpose out of these problems requires much more perspective and attitude. Overcoming obstacles is not always easy but is doable, but what could we possibly think when these obstacles never seem to be over? In this episode, Sam Tooley shares some special and honest stories of his past and how he was able to channel bad experiences into action and transformation.
Losing someone we love, dealing with depression or anxiety, not knowing what path to follow… These are all barriers that life throws at us. When something similar happens, we have a choice: we could give up, surrender, and go down the rabbit hole. Or we could accept it, believe that this event happened for a reason, and in the end, rise stronger and more resilient.

Ever Forward Radio is brought to you by our partners at LMNT (Elemental Labs) - save money and replenish your body with the valuable nutrients and zero-sugar electrolytes from LMNT at http://drinklmnt.com/everforward
Role of Electrolytes:
Electrolytes conduct electrolyte charges in your body. Every message sent through your nervous system (including your brain) involves electrolyte transmissions - or nerve impulses - between cells. You need electrolytes, especially sodium and potassium, in order for nerve impulses to fire.
Electrolytes also regulate fluid balance, help you produce energy, and strengthen bones.
Sodium, potassium, and magnesium:
Regulates fluid balance (blood flow)
Regulates blood pressure
Helps conduct nerve impulses
Promotions the release of vasopressin (or antidiuretic hormone) which helps you sleep through the night
Aid in energy (ATP) production
Contributes to DNA synthesis
Regulate blood sugar levels
Help muscles contract (including your heart)
Increases the absorption of certain nutrients through the gut.
