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.

835: Please STOP Being So Realistic
We're answering your questions today and we've got some really good ones! 1. How can I dream bigger without a mental leash holding me back and keeping me "realistic". Especially when realistic just means confined. 2. I have a journaling question: When I journal, it's easy to get stuck in a rut of choosing the same goals and drivers to work on every day. When you have a long term goal, how do you keep it fresh? 3. Which biography books are your favorites? I am looking for an easy, inspiring book to read before falling asleep. Thanks 4. I have never been a morning person. Is it possible to become one? 5. What kind of goal setting/planning do you do? Do you set monthly/quarterly/yearly goals? How often do you check in with your goals? 6. I have bounced around from 190 to 200 for 3 months. As soon as I hit the low 190's I seem to lose my sense of purpose and my focus. I still eat very clean but begin eating too much. My goal is 170 but it keeps eluding me. What's going on with my stinking thinking? 7. How are your views on life now after everything you went through with Chris? What's next for you? We are also giving away my favorite Fat Stick from FATCO!

833: Communication, Business Building & Relationships
Once again, you guys come through with epic questions across the board! 1. You've spoken about looking for things to be grateful for in your partner. I can do that, and still get extremely frustrated when he doesn't listen well or seemingly misses the point of what I'm saying (I'm not chatty, so since we're now together 24/7, when I say something, I'd like for him to listen). So yes, I can find plenty to be grateful for, and yet, I still get mad at him several times a week, and importantly, I don't calmly explain over and over the same thing -- that I'd like him to listen. At this point, I immediately get pretty mad. 2. Do you have any tips on how to stop trying to please everyone? 3. How do you balance striving to achieve your goals with being grateful for where you are and enjoying life in the moment? 4. What's the subject of your next book? 5. What are some of the best practices for generating an email list for an online business? 6. Do bullies only exist to people who lack self confidence? 7. How do you build a successful network marketing business if you don't have a big social media following? If you want to try the LIMITED EDITION Apple Cinnamon Energy Plus, here's the link!

It's another Saturday show where I'm answering your questions! 1. How are you handling this election stress? 2. I'd love some advice. I take it 1 day at a time but some days I think 'then what?'

I live in WA where we go from 16 hours of sunlight in the summer to closer to 8 in the winter. Did you ever adjust your routine for the times of year? How do I keep myself from sitting in front of the TV when it's so dark by 6pm?? 5. What are good strategies on days I'm not at my best and feel defeated? 6. What are practical steps to block temptations when you can't remove them. Specific example... I know I shouldn't drink as much beer as I do but I struggle because 1) I really enjoy it and 2) with my husband it's not going to ever not be in the house. 7. How do I lose weight using my thoughts? 8. How do you balance the desire to reach your goals, with your desire to enjoy life as it is and be grateful for everything you currently have?

829: Time Management and Perspectives on "Starting"
You guys have awesome questions this morning including: How do you manage your daily calendar for success? Do you include hour by hour planning? How do you fold your new habits into this cake set when you are practicing new habits and habit stacking? I have only listened to the one excuses podcast but I have failed so many times I just don't know how I can change. I just bought Chasing Cupcakes and am hoping that will help shed more light. How can I understand my purpose in life? What is your opinion on screen time ? How do I find the commitment to start? How do you know what diet or lifestyle change is best for you and your body type? What is the best "first step" in forming a healthy lifestyle?
