In today's episode I'm sharing a few of my own personal strategies for overcoming that desire to throw in the towel or turn away from my goals. If you feel like you need a better way to respond to temptation, stress, or simply the way you talk yourself into over-indulging, today's episode is for you! http://primalpotential.com/367-overcoming-excuses/ Resources: How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Do you get hung up on your past? Do you let it frustrate you? Does it contribute to your doubts about what you might be able to do in the future? That's what today's episode is all about. It's time to understand how to change that. This episode was inspired, in part, by The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews. A couple of the quotes at the center of this episode include: I do not deny the reality of my situation; I deny the finality of it. If we familiarize ourselves with the chains of bondage, we prepare our own limbs to wear them. Make sure to listen to this one! http://primalpotential.com/365-reality-without-finality/ Resources: ASCEND: Get on the wait list The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

The other day I had a powerful interaction with someone in my Primal Potential Masters Club. She loves food (I do too) and she's struggling with a feeling of "missing out" if & when she's trying to eat less. How do you love food & still lose weight? I promise it's possible... She knows she is probably eating too much but the idea of eating less creates a real uneasiness for her. She called it fear. Whatever it is for you, it can feel like tension, deprivation, fear of missing out or lack. Today we're going to dive into solutions for those fears. Big shout out to this super special client for being open to me sharing some of our exchange. **This episode is explicit for language and content beginning around the 25+ minute mark** http://primalpotential.com/363-loving-food-losing-weight/ Resources: Anchor Channel for Short Form Audio ASCEND: Get on the wait list How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I've shared with you that one of my mantras is "travel light" and it has been a game changer for me. This weekend, however, I realized that I've really dropped the ball on living that mantra, especially as it relates to my interactions with other people. First, let me revisit (more for me than for you) what "travel light" means to me. I don't get flustered over the small stuff. I'm grateful. I find the good in everything. I choose to focus on opportunities to move forward. I am more powerful than my setbacks & circumstances. I know that joy is a choice & I choose it daily. Essentially, "travel light" reminds me to refuse to be burdened by anything. Let it go. Set it down. Travel light. I really believe that often times, extra physical weight we carry is a physical manifestation of extra emotional weight we're carrying. More than that, most of the emotional baggage we carry with us is optional. We can & should set it down. We only carry it with us because we don't realize that we can & should let it go. http://primalpotential.com/362-travel-light/ Resources: ASCEND: Get on the wait list How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

You can make progress towards your goals AND indulge. You can enjoy summer or holiday treats without guilt. You can enjoy food AND results. It's time to let go of the idea of perfection and stop creating drama and guilt over enjoying food. With that said, summer time & holiday seasons can be a challenging time to embrace improvements and avoid going overboard. In today's episode we're talking about 5 strategies to create summer success without perfection. These strategies are about YOU and can easily be applied to holidays or any time you feel like you're in a funk and you want to make more progress. http://primalpotential.com/361-create-summer-success/ Resources: ASCEND: Get on the wait list How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

In today's episode I share a conversation with one of my Masters Club clients. When I asked her about the most significant changes she's made in her life, she shared how she's now certain that she is in control of her life. She's in control of her food choices, her physique, her career, finances and much more. Our discussion centers around a few follow-up questions: did you always feel like you had that control? And: how did you create it? How has that sense of control impacted how you take care of your body? Specifically, we talked about how she transitioned to feeling limited because of her circumstances to feeling empowered regardless of her circumstances. Then we got talking about her struggles. She isn't seeing the physical progress she knows she is capable of and she feels like she needs more standards for herself when it comes to food. We quickly got to the root of the problem: eating too much of the "right" things. She's improved the quality of what she's eating, but the quantity is probably a bit much for her goals. Together, we established a strategy for paying more attention to how much she's eating versus how much she needs to eat.
