The Growing Thoughts video and podcast series is fully under way. In this episode, I discuss the need for intention-setting and positive action while taking Lion’s Mane—and all other supplements in your life.
Some Housekeeping:
To support Badwater, consider using this link to purchase from our affiliate partner, North Spore. From liquid cultures to custom jar lids, they have provided me nearly all the tools I still use for growing mushrooms. They’re great quality, have super customer support (they’ve had a no-questions-asked policy whenever I have a random issue), and I think they are perfect for anyone getting into mushroom growing or who want to upgrade their DIY gear. All quality. This is the humidity tent that I use to grow my Lion’s Mane.
Summary: Intention and Lion’s Mane
Hey all, I’m getting into a subject close to my heart: the role of intention, while taking a supplement like Lion’s Mane for your goals. I’ll explore how setting intention can transform your efforts instead of relying on active compounds in your body.
Positive Self-Talk: Telling yourself "I can do it" rather than "I can't break the 11 seconds" can be more impactful than you think. A positive mindset creates a snowball effect of positive results and expectations.
The Role of Practice: While mindset is essential, it's also about the work you put in. Even world-class athletes like Usain Bolt had to combine mindset with training to achieve greatness.
Placebo Effect Misunderstood: Recognize that belief in yourself can have an actual effect on performance, not just a placebo.
The Truth About Supplements: Supplements like creatine, protein, and indeed Lion's Mane aren't magic pills; they enhance what's already there.
Intention is the secret ingredient that supercharges the effects of Lion's Mane and other supplements. Setting clear goals transforms how they work for your body and mind.
Set Clear Intentions: Decide what you want to achieve before using supplements. This could be better focus and proofreading for a writing project or working a personal record. You can measure it, qualify it: Just be clear with it.
Align Actions with Values: Understand your personal values and how that’s truly what’s driving and motivating your work.
If you’re curious about trying Lion's Mane, here’s how to go about it:
Do Your Homework: Make sure there’s scientific backing for the supplements you choose. Understand it’s a helper, not the main solution.
Commitment and Consistency: Stick with it, committing to yourself and your goals, and you'll likely experience positive benefits.
Thanks for listening in! Whether it’s Lion’s Mane or another supplement, combining it with an intentional mindset and sustained effort can result in real accomplishment.
