430: Slowing Down To Speed Up Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

I caught myself making a big mistake in my approach to creating an improvement in my life. While my mistake was in the gym, it's a mistake I see most people making in the way they approach losing weight or improving their food choices.

This mistake, which I describe in detail in today's show, is choosing intensity before establishing stamina. While this can absolutely happen in the gym, it's just as common in our food choices.

Choosing intensity over stamina means choosing the intense approach without first building consistent basics. That might be a Whole 30 right from your standard American diet, or going from indulging too frequently to strict keto - but we jump to the intense approach hoping for faster results without realizing that we haven't laid a solid foundation for change. Then, we bail. We get frustrated or can't sustain the extent of the change and we give up.

Our ambition exceeded our preparation. Our motivation is greater than our stamina. We might have the desire to create big changes but we need to slow down, establish a solid foundation and making gradual changes that last instead of massive changes that don't.

In today's episode I'm talking about how and where we most often make this mistake and sharing some ideas of how you can establish that stamina for change before dipping your toes in the waters of intensity.

426: Discipline Equals Freedom Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

I read a lot. Multiple books each week. Within the Primal Potential Masters Club we have a monthly book club where we read, discuss and implement the strategies within many of my all time favorite books.

Every once in a while I do a book club episode on the podcast and share ideas from a book I've recently enjoyed. Today we're talking about Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual by Jocko Willink. Though I don't know him, I have an immeasurable amount of respect & admiration for him & his philosophies.

Jocko was a Navy Seal & commander of the most decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq.

Since retiring from military service, he has become a successful business man & coach who lives to practice what he preaches.

From my perspective, Jocko Willink embodies mental toughness, achievement, bravery & self-discipline. I'm excited to share some of his ideas with you.

If you are looking for a swift kick in the pants, buy the book and more importantly, live the ideas within it.

Enjoy today's book club episode!

423: If This Was My Last Episode Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

The other day in my Daily Stoic Journal I answered the following question:

If I lived today as if it were my last, what would I do?

At first, I copped out. I wrote out all the things I'd do & then all the reasons why I couldn't do them. I mean, I have to work! I have responsibilities.

Then, I caught myself and said: within the framework of my current reality, what can I do?

Instead of focusing on what I would do but can't, what are the things I should do & can?

One of those things I said I'd do if it was my last day on earth is record a final message for my Primal Potential family.

So, though this is not the last Primal Potential podcast, I wanted to record it as though it was. These are all the things I'd want you to know if it was my last day on earth.

421: Eliminating Your Story Barrier Nov 30, 2017

Show notes

This week I've had a bunch of one-on-one calls with folks who attended ASCEND, the Primal Potential weekend workshop in early November. Today, those calls had a powerful theme:

The circumstances we use to justify our choices and our commitment & attachment to those stories.

There are a couple aspects of a choice: the setup for the choice & the choice itself.

When we desire change, we often focus on changing the choice itself - we want to eat less, move more, reduce sugar, etc.

However, a more effective approach might be to change the setup. More specifically, it is likely more effective to stop committing to the story you use to justify the choice.

Not sure what this looks like? Tune in to today's episode for examples & strategies!
