Summary

For inner strength, you can't just steamroll emotions. You have to deal with them, but first, you must also want to do the work. You have to want to slow down and learn about meditation, emotions, and vulnerability. - Anders Varner

What can we learn and take away from our pasts to make a brighter future for ourselves?

In this special Wellness Force Radio episode, Creators of Barbell Shrugged and members of the Shrugged Collective, Anders Varner and Doug Larson, discuss the power we bring to our world when we do something out of love and positive energy rather than fear and anger, how being let go from a job can help you change your frame of reference and actually be a gift, and why the "ego is our amigo" and it's beneficial to pay attention to it but we don't have to listen to it all the time.

Discover how to create a fulfilled life that brings you positive energy, happiness, and motivation every day.

"Having everything all together all the time isn't actually a good thing because if you're used to that, then you don't jump into spaces where you don't have it all together." - @DouglasELarson on @WellnessForce Radio

The Shrugged Collective

The Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance show that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals. Usually in the gym, but outside as well. In 2012 they posted their first Barbell Shrugged podcast and have been putting out weekly free videos and podcasts ever since.

This series of podcasts stars Mike Bledsoe, Doug Larson, Anders Varner, and The Shrugged Collective Team.

Listen As Anders Varner and Doug Larson Uncover:

The origins of Barbell Shrugged and how they pulled their team together to launch it.
How their views on life, business, and balancing work have changed since starting their families.
Different phases of life that we go through including the moment we decide we want to live a healthier life.
What it is like raising children today in our modern society compared to how life was like for us growing up.
How we can build resiliency through physical exercise and movement.
Why the right person to be in a relationship with will come along in our lives when we're being true and authentic to ourselves.
Josh's bout of altitude sickness while climbing up Mount Whitney.
The power of being honest and authentic with both yourself and other people.
What Wellness Force is all about and what direction it's now going in.
Why it helps to work with females who have a strong personality and how women can tap into that.
Whether it is the ego that's what makes us successful or it's a combination of both the ego and the soul.
