Primal Potential - The Anti-diet Solution To Mastering Fat Loss Naturally

Are you keeping yourself from big wins in the areas of your goals because you settle for little wins? Are you taking the perspective of "good enough" or "better than before"? You might be holding yourself back in a big way! I started thinking about this as my Winter 12 WT clients went through their good/better/best challenge and then just a few days later I heard Chris Harder talking about not letting easy money keep you from big money. In today's motivational minisode, we're diving into an honest look at how we hold ourselves back and what we can do to break free from the confines of our comfort zone and small wins.

What is carb sensitivity? How do you know if you're carb sensitive? In today's episode, we're answering listener questions about carbs, sugar addiction, the best foods when you're on a budget and much more! Questions tackled in today's episode include: How can you tell the difference between being sluggish from something you ate and not getting quality sleep. I'm struggling with knowing if I'm getting enough/quality sleep. I've listened to your episode on Identity Journaling but after I answer the questions,I'm not sure where to go with it. What do I do with my answers to the questions? If I take your advice and ask myself, "What is possible?", what do I do with the answer? What I struggle with most, I identify as "sugar addiction". I know that I would be healthier if I never ate refined sugar, but it's a mind game where I feel deprived instead of feeling elated that I'm choosing to do good things for myself. I just don't know how to get out of my own head. I have no willpower. I listen to your podcasts a

You aren't too busy to take care of yourself or to prioritize your health. Sure, you might be able to tell yourself and others that's the reason you aren't making progress or doing the work, but it doesn't make it true. It's just a convenient story - a permission slip you write yourself for being inconsistent. The reality is - taking great care of yourself increases your bandwidth, it doesn't decrease it. It gives you more energy, more focus, more determination, clarity and efficiency. I love the Zen saying about meditation. "If you don't have time to meditate for an hour each day, meditate for two hours." If you think you're too busy, you need to adjust both your schedule and your perspective! There are so many other elements to this permissive lie and we're exploring them all on today's episode! https://primalpotential.com/587/ A Few Tips If You're "Busy" Stop using "busy" Ask yourself if you're creating a life you love or just keeping yourself busy Are you getting the results you want?

Fear of failure and fear of missing out (FOMO) reflect incomplete truths - emotional corners of the truth - and we can overcome them! I've been having a lot of conversations with clients about fear and today we're breaking it down so we can set ourselves free! https://primalpotential.com/584/ Questions from Today's Episode: What's possible? What stories do you tell yourself (or excuses do you sell yourself) that talk you out of your potential? What else is true? Fear is a liar because you are in control! You create your results! Fear of failure is a liar because you have the power of choice! You don't have to fear failure because you control it with your own actions! The fear is a distraction! Instead of submitting to the fear, challenge it with those questions. Instead of limiting yourself to the boundaries of your fears, choose to press on in spite of any fears. "The fears you don't face become your limits." ~ Robin Sharma Primal Potential Episode 577: Money Mindset Join the free Primal Potential FB group

Do positive affirmations really work or are they just wishful thinking? Simple answer: it depends on you. Yesterday, we kicked off this Change Maker series on the podcast with Part 1 on awareness. Today, we're tackling the second pillar of change: alignment. Alignment is about making sure that your intentions (what you want) and your attention (what you're focused on) are in sync. When they aren't in sync, you will experience excuses & inconsistency. While there are many tools we use within the 12 Weeks to Transformation to create alignment, one of the simplest and most effective (when done right) include positive affirmations. In fact, I just did an episode about how affirmations related to money have been changing the game for me lately. https://primalpotential.com/580/ Here are a couple of my favorite affirmations and you can hear more in episode 577. Fear is a liar because I am in control. I create the results I want. Resources: Join the Spring 2019 12 Weeks to Transformation Change Maker Part 1: Aw

You cannot and will not make sustainable change without awareness. There is no denying that the most critical cornerstone of change is increased awareness. In today's episode we're talking about what awareness actually means, how we can increase it and what behaviors and patterns reduce it. No matter what change you want to create in your life, this is the most critical pattern to establish! To learn more about the 12 WT or to register for the spring session, click here.

If you have a question, challenge or topic suggestion, send it to us here. Questions Addressed in Today's Episode: What are your thoughts on OMAD (one meal a day)? I get on these streaks of great self-care and then something happens in my life - chaos or crisis - how can I train myself to embrace this lifestyle even when things are hard? Is it wrong to feel like you need outside help to change? One of the excuses I always give myself is that I can't afford to eat healthy. The thing is, it feels true, not like an excuse. Do you have any tips? What are your top 2-3 perspective shifts or mindset changes that have improved your life? You get up very early. What time do you go to bed and how much sleep do you try to get? Does the 12 WT center around weight loss or can it apply to any goal in life? How do you feel abou

The idea of personal transformation can seem daunting - impossible, even. Fortunately, it's far simpler than you might think! In today's episode, we're exploring the simplest, happiest, most sustainable path to personal transformation and we're doing so by way of a poem that one of my 12 Weeks to Transformation clients wrote and is allowing me to share. https://primalpotential.com/574/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation Listen to episode 559 on the power of Identity Journaling Join the free Primal Potential FB group Follow me on Instagram

Being goal oriented might not be the most effective way to achieve your goals. In fact, I don't think it is! In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between goal oriented and growth oriented and how the latter is likely a far more powerful, lasting approach to creating change. Being growth oriented doesn't mean you don't care about your goals and it certainly doesn't mean you won't reach them. It means that you'll enjoy the journey more and you'll optimize who you are instead of merely trying to manipulate what you choose. https://primalpotential.com/573/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation!  Join me Wednesday March 20th at 8pm ET to learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation and find out if it's the right move for you!

I am so pumped that we've added this third podcast episode each week because it allows me to do something we both appreciate: mindset coaching. Even though the questions are about weight loss, overwhelm, inconsistency or motivation, the solution is often the same: mindset. In today's episode (and likely all subsequent Q&As) we're taking your challenges, struggles and questions and using them as mindset coaching moments. How can you create a solution? Where are there limiting beliefs at play? In what ways are you lying to yourself or only considering one small part of the story? If you have questions or challenges that you'd like my $0.02 on, you can submit them here. Mindset Coaching Questions: How do I stop quitting? How do I stay motivated? How do I overcome my "all or nothing" attitude? I want to be happy with my body again. I'm overweight and pretending to be happy. Can you help? If you have always failed to keep the weight off or failed to be successful at work (or really anything) and you feel like

Are your limiting beliefs holding your back? Here's the reality: your life is a reflection of your beliefs and I think it's time to upgrade! I am 100% convinced that the primary reason people are inconsistent and continue to struggle with the same change for years is that they are focused on changing their choices while neglecting to change their beliefs. For example, if you fundamentally believe and continue to make a case for the fact that you're an emotional eater, your choices will align with your belief. Here's the reality about all beliefs, including limiting beliefs: "Your body is a barometer of your belief system." ~ Pam Grout Your life reflects your belief system. Your limiting beliefs will limit your choices and your ability to grow! It's time to edit your beliefs and upgrade your identity! In today's episode we're diving into the impact that our belief system has on our choices, identifying the beliefs that hold you back and talking about how we can fundamentally change what you believe about yours
