CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

We all have moments when we feel stuck. However, just because you feel stuck doesn't mean you are stuck. The other day, I posted this on Instagram and it really resonated, so I figured it was high time to do a motivational minisode to help you out in those moments you feel stuck. You aren't stuck. You stopped. There's a difference. https://primalpotential.com/563/ 5 Reminders To Free Yourself When You Feel Stuck Don't let how you feel about the problem overshadow what you can do to create the solution. Feeling stuck is vague and general. In specificity you will find your superpowers. Are you letting the problem lead? Stop following the struggle. You will feel more free when you let go of "life overgrowth". Put someone else in your shoes. To learn more about working with me in the 12 Weeks to Transformation, click here!

If you're living together but have different health goals and priorities, how do you navigate it? That's one of the most common questions I get about my relationships. My boyfriend and I are now living together but we have very different lifestyles and personalities. Though we are in no way relationship experts, today we're answering your questions about love, food, weight, personality differences and much more. Curious about what questions we answer on the episode? Here are a few of them. If you have questions we didn't answer, shoot me a message on Instagram or comment in the show notes and we'll absolutely answer them! The episode got kind of long so we didn't get to all that were submitted but I've put the answers to questions we didn't get to on the show notes page at the link below. There you can find the answers to questions about if we have plans to get married, if we want kids and what our love lanuages are, plus more! https://primalpotential.com/562/

Most of my clients set goals for themselves. Most of them are going about it the wrong way. Why do you think so many people who set a goal of weight loss end up regaining the weight? Why do so many people who get out of debt shortly reaccumulate it? My friends, as you set goals for yourself, I want you to keep in mind that there is a massive difference between external goals and internal targets. In today's episode, we're going to talk about a different way to set goals and go about achieving them in a way that ensures you get what you want most! We're taking a deep dive into the idea that the goal is more about feeling than doing. I'm going to help you understand what it means for the GOAL to be the FEELING you're after and how to prioritize the way you want to BE over the things you ought to DO. This simple shift in the way you set goals and the way you think about goals will improve your consistency and make sure you don't waste precious time and energy pursuing an external target when your real goal is an internal shift. https://primalpotential.com/561/ Set Goals by Setting Clear Intentions: How do you want to feel? How do you NOT want to feel? What choices, actions or thoughts contribute to how you do want to feel? What choices, actions or thoughts contribute to how you don't want to feel? What can you do about it today? What's the difference between the things you want to do and the way you want to be? What can you do about it today? When you're in a moment of struggle or negative emotion: what feeling are you looking to obtain? How can you create that? Resources: Want to work with me this spring?

Change feels hard. I get it. Often, it feels hard because we're going about it the wrong way. Our tendency is to focus on changing our actions and our choices. What this approach overlooks is the simple fact that our thoughts drive our choices. Conscious or subsconscious, a series of thoughts predede our choices and talk us into or out of whatever decision we make. If you don't change your thoughts, it will continue to be mighty hard to change your choices. Of course that begs the question: HOW? Most of us feel like our thoughts arise so quickly & automatically that they're nearly impossible to change. It sounds nice in theory "just think differently!" but how do we turn that into a daily practice? That is the entire focus of today's practical episode with modern mindfulness expert and host of the Mind Love podcast, Melissa Monte.

For years, I've been a huge fan of journaling. Recently, I've made a shift in the way I journal that has completely changed the game. It's made me happier, more present, more confident and more productive. A few of my Masters Club members have begun journaling this way, too, and today you'll hear from both of us. How are we journaling? What does it look like? How did we start? One of the reasons people struggle to change is that they aren't paying attention. I can relate to that! At 350+ pounds, living paycheck to paycheck, I didn't want to pay attention. I didn't want to see my body. I didn't want to acknowledge my food choices. I didn't want to acknowledge my inconsistency I didn't want to look too closely at anything - my bank account, how much debt I had, the state of my marriage, what I looked like naked. None of it. And, not suprisingly, nothing good was happening. When we don't pay attention, we drift. We never drift someplace amazing. I am certain this type of journaling will help you create change. It's not about accountability, it's about action. https://primalpotential.com/559/ I think it's so powerful that I'm going to create an identity journal for the next 12 Weeks to Transformation!

The answer isn't always the truth. Today we're talking about two different but very deceptive thought patterns that keep people from creating change in their lives. One is the mindset of "I know", where you dismiss information, strategies and tools you're already familiar with instead of grabbing the opportunity presented by the reminder to take action on them. It really doesn't matter if you "you know", what matters is whether or not you're doing those things. The second is the mindset of "I don't know" - a pattern of letting yourself off the hook and letting uncertainty be a stopping point. It should be a starting point. If there is a gap between when you know and what you do, this episode is one you can't miss!

Do you rationalize choices that hold you back? Is it possible that you're actually telling rational lies? Just because it's your answer doesn't mean it's the truth. In today's episode, we're looking at rational lies, times when we rationalize and how to break the patterns that keep us from living the lives we want. https://primalpotential.com/557/ Resources: Get your copy of Chasing Cupcakes Ready to do this work?

First we make our stories, then our stories make us. We are story tellers. You are a master story teller. Whether you're conscious of it or not, you make about stories about everything that happens around you, about every choice you make, every single day. When I say "stories" that DOESN'T mean you made something up. Your story is the meaning you attach to your experiences. Your story can take you to new heights or it can overwhelm you and lead to you to isolate yourself and feel defeated. In today's episode, we're taking a look at the stories you tell yourself and how you can stand on the shoulders of your story and allow it to take you to new heights! Today's episode features pieces of a powerful conversation I had with story-expert Marlo Ellis - founder and visionary behind The Uncommon Woman.

I used to think in terms of what I didn't want. I didn't want to be so overweight. I didn't want to overeat so frequently. I didn't want to feel so out of control. I didn't want to be unhappy, lonely or isolated. I didn't want to have so much debt. You get the picture. If I had to choose a sound effect to represent how I felt at that point in my life, it would have been a groan. Ugh. Exasperation. Frustration. Resignation. Irritation. Disappointment. At least once a day, someone asks me how much weight I've lost or how much debt I paid off. Totally fair questions and I'm happy to answer them (except I don't own a scale and don't worry about my present body weight.) Here's the thing though - what I've gained is so much more interesting. https://primalpotential.com/555/ This shift from "less" to "more" is what we're diving into today. It's not just a more peaceful perspective, we'll talk about why it's a more effective one, too! Resources: Get your copy of Chasing Cupcakes!

I've been thinking a lot about the life & business I want to create in 2019. I shared a lot of those details in episode 549 of the podcast. I missed out on a LOT of my life. There are decades, relationships and experiences that I can't get back. In saying "yes" to food, saying "no" to happiness and relationships, I destroyed a lot of relationships and experiences. I don't want to live that way naymore. In fact, I refuse to live that way. But here's the very important thing: it's not just about physical health. Often, that gets all the priority. What we eat. Our body composition. Our exercise routine. Today we are talking about another very, very, very important component and the shift I'm making in my own life. https://primalpotential.com/554/ Resources: Get your copy of Chasing Cupcakes!
