712: Accumulated Yesterdays & Fearful Tomorrows

Worry gets in the way. We give too much time and energy to what Dale Carnegie refers to as accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. In today’s episode, we’re talking about actionable steps to change that.

711: Warning Signs for Your Health & Fitness

If we begin to assess and respond to warning signs of impending health problems, we can create a buffer against many health challenges. The key is, we have to know what these warning signs are and where we stand.

Things to Consider in Evaluating Markers of Health:

Body fat percentage

1 RM deadlift

1 mile time

Bone density

Triglycerides

Flexibility

Resting heart rate

710: Using Food for Emotional Needs

It’s a listener Q&A episode! We’re focusing on one of those “hard pills to swallow” and that is the fact that emotional eating doesn’t really soothe anything. In this episode we’re discussing the difference between finding a distraction and creating solution.

708: Creating a Life You LOVE with Brooke Thomas

I’m so excited to have Brooke Thomas back on the show! Too many people are “fine”. Things are “okay”. People are living a fine life, even a good life, but not a life they love.

Oftentimes, setting a bigger vision feels weird. We’re unsure of ourselves and make decisions based on how others might respond to the moves we make. That means living small!

In this converation with Brooke Thomas, we talk about how to create clarity for your life and how to respond to yourself as you start going through the fears, doubts and dramas.

707: Avoidance Isn’t Refuge – Listener Q&A

One of the topics we’re focusing on in this Saturday’s Q&A is NUMBERS – the thing you see on the scale, on your bank account, or on anything else that contributes to your life and mindset. How do you face these figures? What does ‘avoidance isn’t refuge’ mean when it comes to these numbers? Join us as we tackle the topic in this episode!

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/primalpotential/707_QA_tagged.mp3″ background=”#00ccbb” social_email=”true” ]

Here’s the complete list of questions we’re answering today:

  • I would love your opinion on tracking body composition and weight. I’m working with a counselor who wants me to avoid numbers altogether, as she thinks I try to over-control these variables. However, I believe that avoiding these numbers is hiding from them. You once said “avoidance isn’t refuge” in the 12WT and it’s always stuck with me. I think it’s important to train myself to be able to face the numbers and have an objective, non-dramatic response to them regardless of what they are. I also think it’s important to have an objective measure of progress so I can re-evaluate whether or not what I’m doing is working. On the other hand, I also feel a reasonable amount of stress at the thought of letting go of numerical measures of progress altogether, so maybe she’s onto something. What are your thoughts?
  • What are some physically actionable activities to ride out cravings?
  • How do I stop self-sabotage and procrastination from keeping me from identifying what I truly want in my life?
  • I’d love to hear tips for facing the plateau- after sustained effort, there is a point where the scale seems stuck- (or broken!) How do you maintain focus to have the positive belief that it will happen with sustained effort?
  • What’s your thoughts on nut consumption? I absolutely love them, so if you are pro-nut, when would Be the best time to eat them and with what?

Today’s giveaway winner gets a bottle of mood+! We announce the winner at the end of the episode!

706: Make This A Year of ACTION

Taking action isn’t the same as creating a solution. Respond to a problem isn’t the same as solving it. Are you exhausting yourself with fruitless effort? I want us all to commit to making this a year of ACTION instead of a year of learning. Let’s make this a year of CHANGE. If you need a little fire about taking action, this is the episode for you!
