About this episode

In this enlightening discussion, I sit down with Tim Jack Adams, the founder of Green X7, to explore the concept of personal well-being and the metaphorical "battery" that reflects our life's energy and purpose. Tim shares his compelling journey from a dive master to a wellness expert, motivated by personal tragedies and a passion for nature. They delve into the practical steps and philosophical shifts necessary to lead a life that is both fulfilling and sustainable.

What You'll Learn:

  1. The Importance of Purpose: Discover why defining the 'why' behind your actions is crucial for long-term well-being and satisfaction.
  2. Personal Battery Concept: Learn how to gauge your life’s energy with Tim Jack Adams' personal battery check – a simple tool to measure well-being across eight areas of life.
  3. Practical Interventions for Well-being: Gain insights into 'Green X7', a framework combining movement, connection, and nature to boost mental and physical health.
  4. The Role of Ego: Understand how ego can be a barrier to true happiness and why letting go of materialistic pursuits can lead to a more meaningful life.
  5. Addressing Loneliness: Examine the critical impact of relationships and belonging on subjective well-being and overall life satisfaction.
  6. Empowerment Through Simplicity: Explore how small, intentional actions can lead to significant improvements in mental health.
