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.

580: Change Maker Part 2
Do positive affirmations really work or are they just wishful thinking? Simple answer: it depends on you. Yesterday, we kicked off this Change Maker series on the podcast with Part 1 on awareness. Today, we're tackling the second pillar of change: alignment. Alignment is about making sure that your intentions (what you want) and your attention (what you're focused on) are in sync. When they aren't in sync, you will experience excuses & inconsistency. While there are many tools we use within the 12 Weeks to Transformation to create alignment, one of the simplest and most effective (when done right) include positive affirmations. In fact, I just did an episode about how affirmations related to money have been changing the game for me lately. https://primalpotential.com/580/ Here are a couple of my favorite affirmations and you can hear more in episode 577. Fear is a liar because I am in control. I create the results I want.

579: Change Maker Part 1
You cannot and will not make sustainable change without awareness. There is no denying that the most critical cornerstone of change is increased awareness. In today's episode we're talking about what awareness actually means, how we can increase it and what behaviors and patterns reduce it. No matter what change you want to create in your life, this is the most critical pattern to establish! To learn more about the 12 WT or to register for the spring session, click here.

578: EB Weighs in on Popular Diets
In today's listener Q&A episode, we're diving into popular diets like keto & OMAD (one meal a day) as well as questions about eating well on a budget, managing times of stress and much more! If you have a question, challenge or topic suggestion, send it to us here. Questions Addressed in Today's Episode: What are your thoughts on OMAD (one meal a day)? I get on these streaks of great self-care and then something happens in my life - chaos or crisis - how can I train myself to embrace this lifestyle even when things are hard? Is it wrong to feel like you need outside help to change? One of the excuses I always give myself is that I can't afford to eat healthy. The thing is, it feels true, not like an excuse. Do you have any tips? What are your top 2-3 perspective shifts or mindset changes that have improved your life? You get up very early. What time do you go to bed and how much sleep do you try to get? Does the 12 WT center around weight loss or can it apply to any goal in life? How do you feel about the keto diet? I'm good at abstinence but as soon as I have one treat, I go off the rails. How can I get to the point where I can have one treat without blowing it? When is your cookbook coming out? How to I get back on track after a binge streak?

574: How To Create Personal Transformation
The idea of personal transformation can seem daunting - impossible, even. Fortunately, it's far simpler than you might think! In today's episode, we're exploring the simplest, happiest, most sustainable path to personal transformation and we're doing so by way of a poem that one of my 12 Weeks to Transformation clients wrote and is allowing me to share. https://primalpotential.com/574/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation Listen to episode 559 on the power of Identity Journaling Join the free Primal Potential FB group Follow me on Instagram

573: The Powerful Alternative to Being Goal Oriented
Being goal oriented might not be the most effective way to achieve your goals. In fact, I don't think it is! In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between goal oriented and growth oriented and how the latter is likely a far more powerful, lasting approach to creating change. Being growth oriented doesn't mean you don't care about your goals and it certainly doesn't mean you won't reach them. It means that you'll enjoy the journey more and you'll optimize who you are instead of merely trying to manipulate what you choose. https://primalpotential.com/573/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation!

572: Mindset Coaching
I am so pumped that we've added this third podcast episode each week because it allows me to do something we both appreciate: mindset coaching. Even though the questions are about weight loss, overwhelm, inconsistency or motivation, the solution is often the same: mindset. In today's episode (and likely all subsequent Q&As) we're taking your challenges, struggles and questions and using them as mindset coaching moments. How can you create a solution? Where are there limiting beliefs at play? In what ways are you lying to yourself or only considering one small part of the story? If you have questions or challenges that you'd like my $0.02 on, you can submit them here. Mindset Coaching Questions: How do I stop quitting? How do I stay motivated? How do I overcome my "all or nothing" attitude? I want to be happy with my body again. I'm overweight and pretending to be happy. Can you help? If you have always failed to keep the weight off or failed to be successful at work (or really anything) and you feel like there's no point in trying, how do you get back on your feet to try again? How do I become a better mother & wife and at the same time, lose weight and take great care of myself? One of the things that ruins my motivation when I get going is work and other obligations. I am sure you have an episode in the podcast or have sent an email but how do I prioritize my personal health goals in the midst of work and grad school?
