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.

305: Creating Your Fat Loss Foundation
In today's episode I want to talk to you as if you were one of my coaching clients. I want to help YOU create YOUR fat loss foundation. Today is all about learning to not get distracted by other peoples' journeys or strategies and instead focusing on your own work. Do you know which basic habits drive results for you? Are you consistent with them? Those are the only two questions that matter for most people. Once you've consistently mastered the basics habits that drive results for you, then & only then move on to intensity or advanced strategies. And no matter where you are on your journey, keep your eyes on your own work! http://primalpotential.com/305-creating-fat-loss-foundation/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

304: Crush Your Comfort Zone {Explicit}
Ready for a little fire this morning? I want to help you crush your comfort zone. I've shared that I'm taking steps each day to make myself uncomfortable for the sake of growth and moving to the next level & I want to help you do the same. In today's minisode I share my perspective that discomfort needs to be the starting line, not the finish line. I challenge you to find your limits by doing things that make you uncomfortable. If discomfort, fear, judgement or embarrassment are the price of admission to my very best life, I'm willing to pay. Today. I hope you are too. http://primalpotential.com/304-crush-comfort-zone/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track? Check out the new Daily Motivations Podcast here.

303: Effort Versus Outcome
We all want consistent results. Of course we do! Unfortunately, we often invest more energy in hoping for outcomes than in maximizing our effort & consistency. In today's episode, I'm sharing a conversation with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients where we talk about effort versus outcomes. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted more consistent results. I quickly redirected her to a focus on consistency in her effort and the application of what she knows. While she agreed with me, she also shared that she forgets. Day to day, she forgets to redirect her focus from outcomes to effort. Fair point! We took the conversation to how she can keep effort & consistency in the forefront of her mind. We also have a great conversation about getting bored with food, feeling guilty when you indulge and living a to-do list instead of living a life. This is a powerful, jam-packed, practical episode!

302: Push or Patience?
The other day I sent out an email explaining how I have declared 2017 a year of "push" towards my physical goals. In less than 24 hours I received over 700 responses to that email and most of you were inspired to push in your own lives. Many people had questions about patience versus surrender - about how to know if you're copping out and making excuses or if you really need to be patient for a season. I've decided to address all your questions and comments in today's episode, especially things like how to know if you should be in a period of push or patience? When do you push? Towards what? And how? I'll also address the one (so far) negative response that came in from the email. I can't thank you guys enough for all the love, support and encouragement. I can't wait to share my journey with you! http://primalpotential.com/302-push-or-patience/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

301: Workshop - Eliminating Excuses
Today we're tackling "the gap" - the space between where you are and where you want to be or between what you intend to do and what you actually do. In that gap are your excuses. This is a bit of a workshop episode on eliminating excuses. Once you do that, you close the gap between your ideal and your reality. It's time to stop accepting and believing your excuses. It's time to eliminate them. http://primalpotential.com/301-workshop-eliminating-excuses/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

299: Enjoying Food Without Regret
Have you ever felt like you either enjoy the full spectrum of food or you're missing out? That it's either one or the other and there's no middle ground? I've been there! But enjoying food without regret is absolutely possible! Today I'm sharing a conversation with one of my clients who is learning to do just that. She comes from an Italian family where food & drink was not just fuel but a way of life! Plus, she owns a bar so she's around food & drinks pretty much all day! Not only has she lost 30 pounds, she's teaching herself how to enjoy food, life, alcohol and still feel great about herself and her goals. Don't miss her story! http://primalpotential.com/299-enjoying-food-without-regret/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

Many of us spend an absurd amount of time thinking. We want to understand our behavior. We want to craft a perfect plan. We ask a million questions about our choices, decisions and lack of motivation. It's time to turn thinking into doing so we can use our precious energy in a way that gets results. Todays episode is just that: how to turn thinking into doing.

297: Parenting, Perspective & Progress
I'm pumped for today's episode! I'm sharing a coaching conversation I had with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients and we're covering everything from parenting to perspective and her progress in creating a sustainable anti-diet approach to fat loss. I think there's a lot you can relate to her in her story - she's a working mom & wife who has struggled with her weight for decades. She has lost weight and put it all back on, but she's made a shift in her approach to health & food. We have a really candid conversation about stress, setting an example, and not manufacturing drama by engaging in problems that aren't hers to bear. I'm super grateful that she was willing to share this story with all of you and I know it will be a great encouragement and challenge to each of you! http://primalpotential.com/297-parenting-perspective-progress/ Resources: Breaking Barriers Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?
