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.

Ep 057: The Wrong Approach
So many of us embrace the wrong approach to fat loss. We are enticed by detoxes, quick fixes, food lists, meals plans, etc and we don't ever really think about our anchor - what holds us back, what weighs us down and impedes our progress. The quick fix and food-centric approach often doesn't address the root of the problem and therefore isn't a viable solution! http://primalpotential.com/the-wrong-approach

It can lead to paralysis and inaction or it can stroke our ego and prevent us from really striving for our full potential.
