CONSISTENT by Primal Potential
Elizabeth Benton
Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.

694: Getting Out of Your Own Way
"How do I get out of my own way?" is a question we often hear! Sometimes, the answer is more about what you're doing to get in your own way and if you're willing to create an improvement today. In today's episode we're digging deeper into this question and many more! Registration for the 12 Weeks to Transformation - Winter is finally open! It's going to be a great way to start 2020! We're answering these questions in this week's Q&A: I'm wondering if you have any lunch ideas and your reasons for choosing the ingredients etc. I often find lunch time the hardest part of my day for making good choices and would love some suggestions. Where do I start? I would like to know how many journals you have. Do you keep separate journals for your food and HEC tracking, then another for Identity? Another for gratitude? Another for money? Do you cook your salmon cakes before you freeze them? How do I get out of my own way? I was wondering if you could give some advice on how to find a credible Life Coach Certification program. There are so many online to choose from and since you are in this business, I would love to hear your input. By the way, would you mind sharing where you received your life coaching training? Congratulations to today's winner of a box of turmeric latte from Four Sigmatic! We made the exciting announcement by the end of the episode - stay tuned for that!

691: Overcoming Comparison & Judgement
It's time for a Q&A episode! We are answering your questions about comparison, judgement and so much more! Here's the list of the questions we're diving into today: How do I stop widening the gap? Even when I know inaction is the issue but I do it anyway. (To understand this question, please listen to episode 683 of the podcast) How would you describe your best day? How do I learn to not care what other people think, or not compare myself with someone else's journey? Any specific dietary suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am so confused by ALL the information available- I just shut it down due to overload. I would like some practical, reasonable approaches, especially for any snacks, etc. I've lost weight through a program and am now trying to succeed on my own. How do I successfully transition and not backslide? We're giving away a box of turmeric latte from Four Sigmatic! We announce the winner at the end of the episode so watch out for that!

688: Problem Solving Versus Problem Creating
In today's Q&A episode we are talking about the difference between solving the problem and further creating new ones. How to focus on coming up with solutions rather than paying attention to how you feel about the problem? Tune in for the answer! We answer these questions in today's episode: Any tips for problem solving (instead of problem creating)? What the differences are between MCT oil and coconut oil. Are they the same thing? I tried your bullet proof tea the other day, making it with a tablespoon of butter and of coconut oil and found it to be somewhat greasy. Am I using the right amounts? What is happiness? I've lost weight before but I couldn't really see the change. The clothes were a smaller size and people said "you look great " but I couldn't see it. Do you have suggestions for how to change that kind perspective? I'm feeling borderline depressed and unmotivated to do anything. I feel like I spend all my time planning, prepping, and cleaning for my household, with very little gratitude and appreciation. And half the time I feel like I'm just wasting my time and energy on things that only matter to me. I know what I need to do. I know what I want to do. But why should I do them if it doesn't matter to anyone else? How can I stay motivated when no one else around me is or even cares? I signed up for your Breaking Barriers course in June, it is now November and I have yet to complete it, not because I am too busy, but I forget to make it a priority and I get lazy. So my question .... do you think I would do better in the twelve weeks to transformation group? I think I may need more accountability. https://primalpotential.com/688/

685: Motivation without Obsession?
Staying motivated without getting obsessed with it? Is that even possible? Is obession bad? Can it be helpful? We have the answer for you in today's Q&A episode! Here's the list of questions we're answering today: Staying motivated without getting obsessed —how do you do it? You've mentioned on the podcast that you have quit drinking coffee during your pregnancy, and I wondered if you could share a bit about what led you to that decision. I just learned that I'm pregnant with my second child, and while I did not give up coffee entirely during my first pregnancy, I think it might be beneficial this time around. I do love my morning coffee and would love some evidence to motivate me on those mornings when a cup of coffee is tempting. Morning sickness hasn't hit me yet, so I'm sure will also affect my coffee consumption. Also, did you quit cold turkey when you learned you were pregnant or did you gradually taper off? How soon can we find out if we have made it into the 12 Weeks to Transformation? How do I give up drinking regular alcohol when it's such a big part of mine and my husband's life and is how we spend our time bonding, as we have three kids and don't do much else but work and look after the kids. What is the best plan if I miss day(s) journaling? How do I get off of being the victim over my health? I blame everything that is wrong with my weight on believed "malfunctioning body" when it fact is my lack of consistency that has brought me here. If you have a question or topic for our Saturday Q&A shows, please share it here. The free challenge mentioned in today's episode kicks off on November 25th! You can participate by joining the Primal Potential Facebook Group or getting on the 12 Week Transformation Waitlist. We'd love to have you in both! The registration for the 12 Week to Transformation - Winter starts on December 11th so make sure to stay tuned for that. If you aren't on the wait list, join now!
