Are you keeping yourself from big wins in the areas of your goals because you settle for little wins? Are you taking the perspective of "good enough" or "better than before"? You might be holding yourself back in a big way! I started thinking about this as my Winter 12 WT clients went through their good/better/best challenge and then just a few days later I heard Chris Harder talking about not letting easy money keep you from big money. In today's motivational minisode, we're diving into an honest look at how we hold ourselves back and what we can do to break free from the confines of our comfort zone and small wins.

Mental wellness drives physical wellness. Without a strong mental game, it's just a house of cards. You don't want to miss today's episode!

What is carb sensitivity? How do you know if you're carb sensitive? In today's episode, we're answering listener questions about carbs, sugar addiction, the best foods when you're on a budget and much more! Questions tackled in today's episode include: How can you tell the difference between being sluggish from something you ate and not getting quality sleep. I'm struggling with knowing if I'm getting enough/quality sleep. I've listened to your episode on Identity Journaling but after I answer the questions,I'm not sure where to go with it. What do I do with my answers to the questions? If I take your advice and ask myself, "What is possible?", what do I do with the answer? What I struggle with most, I identify as "sugar addiction". I know that I would be healthier if I never ate refined sugar, but it's a mind game where I feel deprived instead of feeling elated that I'm choosing to do good things for myself. I just don't know how to get out of my own head. I have no willpower. I listen to your podcasts and although they are so good, nothing is helping me. I lose 2-3lbs and then go on a blitz of eating poorly. At 58years old, I don't think anything will help me. How can you tell if you are sensitive to carbs or not? What are the best nutritious foods available for a person currently living pay check to paycheck?

You aren't too busy to take care of yourself or to prioritize your health. Sure, you might be able to tell yourself and others that's the reason you aren't making progress or doing the work, but it doesn't make it true. It's just a convenient story - a permission slip you write yourself for being inconsistent. The reality is - taking great care of yourself increases your bandwidth, it doesn't decrease it. It gives you more energy, more focus, more determination, clarity and efficiency. I love the Zen saying about meditation. "If you don't have time to meditate for an hour each day, meditate for two hours." If you think you're too busy, you need to adjust both your schedule and your perspective! There are so many other elements to this permissive lie and we're exploring them all on today's episode! https://primalpotential.com/587/ A Few Tips If You're "Busy" Stop using "busy" Ask yourself if you're creating a life you love or just keeping yourself busy Are you getting the results you want? Create more space Talk more slowly Think more slowly Move more slowly Meditate Eliminate obligations that you aren't passionate about Resources Join the Primal Potential Facebook group!

Get ready to expand your perspective about personal growth! Get ready to get excited about it and more enthusiastic in your pursuit of it! Today, we have Tara Romano on the show! Tara and I met a few months ago and when I saw her Instagram post where she said that personal growth is her drug of choice, I just had to have her on the show. Personal growth is a gift, not a burden. It's something you do FOR yourself, not TO yourself. It's not a sacrifice. In today's episode, we dive into both personal growth, the gift of it and overcoming insecurity and comparison. Some of Tara's personal affirmations include: Interupt the pattern It's not that serious Stop making up so many stories I'm a perfect work in progress I'm a magnet for all I desire My life is perfect as it is and I'm capable of making any changes as I desire All I need is always taken care of. I am safe.

Fear of failure and fear of missing out (FOMO) reflect incomplete truths - emotional corners of the truth - and we can overcome them! I've been having a lot of conversations with clients about fear and today we're breaking it down so we can set ourselves free! https://primalpotential.com/584/ Questions from Today's Episode: What's possible? What stories do you tell yourself (or excuses do you sell yourself) that talk you out of your potential? What else is true? Fear is a liar because you are in control! You create your results! Fear of failure is a liar because you have the power of choice! You don't have to fear failure because you control it with your own actions! The fear is a distraction! Instead of submitting to the fear, challenge it with those questions. Instead of limiting yourself to the boundaries of your fears, choose to press on in spite of any fears. "The fears you don't face become your limits." ~ Robin Sharma Primal Potential Episode 577: Money Mindset Join the free Primal Potential FB group!
