The other day I was in the middle of a hard workout and I thought of a lesson I learned from one of my past trainers (and great friend), Nathan Keil. See, I used to use the transition from one exercise to another as a build in pause or rest. Whether it was 5 seconds or a minute, it was a built-in rest. One day, during a particularly intense workout, Nathan said, "go immediately to the first rep of the next movement. No rest. No pause. Get to the next rep as fast as possible". Even if I just did one rep of the next thing, the point was to break the habit of that pause. After my workout, I realized just how applicable this is to life. Let's say you eat something you wish you hadn't or don't feel too proud of. Isn't it so common to hem and haw about how to get back on track? How to bounce back? We use the transition as pause. We overthink and overcomplicate. What if we just got to the next great choice as fast as possible? No thinking, no planning, no strategizing. Just get to the next great choice as fast as possible. Don't miss today's short episode to figure out how you can bounce back faster and take your performance to the next level. http://primalpotential.com/294-how-to-bounce-back/ Resources: Create Your Bounce Back Strategy Breaking Barriers Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

I think we can all relate to periods of focus & determination as well as periods of avoidance and not doing the work. The transition between those two periods begins with drifting. It might start as a slow drift but we gradually turn our attention away from our focus & our goals. So how do you stop drifting? Even when you aren't enthusiastically doing the work, how can you avoid the drift that precedes a period of avoidance? Don't miss today's episode to learn more about how YOU drift and how you can learn to stay!

In today's podcast I pose a question for you to consider: how are you complicit in your problem? How are you complicit in creating the conditions of your life that you say you don't want? We're so quick to point to the things we're doing to make positive changes and we're even quicker to identify how external circumstances hold us back. But what's your part? Today I'll be diving into this question and also challenging you to flip the script and identify ways you can be complicit in creating the circumstances and accomplishments you DO want. http://primalpotential.com/292-how-are-you-complicit-in-your-problem/ Resources: Breaking Barriers Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

Today I'm answering your questions on emotional eating. This is one of the biggest barriers to progress. It's not that we don't know what to eat to reach our goals, it's that in moments of emotion or stress, we act as though we don't care. We certainly DO care, and overeating or overindulging creates more emotion, stress and frustration. If there is an area where you struggle, don't miss today's episode!

Yup. I love sports. I think they're incredibly analogous to winning in life. And, I love the New England Patriots.

In today's motivational minisode I'm sharing a short entry from my journal. I wrote to myself, "When I practice what I preach, my life is pretty amazing. When I do what I know to do, life is easier & I am happier". Guys, progress isn't a mystery. You don't need to know anything more. If you simply do what you know, not only will you make progress, you'll be happier and less stressed. You don't have to do everything you know, but if you're willing to be honest with yourself, I am quite certain you can identify 2-3 things that, if done consistently, would make you happier and healthier. Get to work & do what you know! While you're at it, take a listen to the full motivational minisode! http://primalpotential.com/286-do-what-you-know/
