Summary

We’ve all done it.

Started strong. Felt focused. Made a plan.
And then… disappeared on ourselves.

We check out. Drift. Ghost our own goals.

Not because we don’t care.
Not because we’re lazy.
But because somewhere along the way, doing the work stopped feeling desirable.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons we stop showing up—and how to finally change the pattern.

Because this isn’t just about missing a few days. It’s about rebuilding trust with yourself and learning how to stay—especially when it’s hard.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • Why your mindset and your strategy both shape your consistency

  • The subtle beliefs that make not showing up feel easier

  • How “eating your emotions” and “self-sabotage” are keeping you vague and stuck

  • Why you need to practice disappointment (yes, really)

  • What overstimulation is doing to your focus—and how to reset it

  • Why showing up at 2% effort still counts (sometimes, it counts more)

You’ll also hear how I use these same principles in my own life—and how we apply them inside The Consistency Course to help people finally stop ghosting their goals.

This is one of those episodes you might want to listen to twice—because we’re not just talking about how to show up today. We’re talking about how to stop disappearing for good.

0:07.1

Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of

0:13.3

progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically

chasing new habits and start

strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it.

0:29.1

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton.

0:35.7

Really glad you're here because this is an honest episode on

0:40.1

why we ghost our goals, why we have this pattern of drifting and disengaging. We had been making

0:48.0

progress and then we just step away from it only to come back to find there's even more work

0:53.4

to be done and the time and

0:54.9

effort we had put in, we feel like we've wasted. Not only why are we doing that, but more

1:01.4

importantly, how do we stop? We're talking about something that I believe most of us experience,

1:07.8

but we don't necessarily understand it.

1:13.0

Maybe we even don't know how to name it.

1:16.6

When we disappear on ourselves, we fall off.

1:20.0

We stopped doing the things we said we wanted to do.

1:25.6

And in fact, what's even harder to understand is we felt so good when we were doing the work and we were so excited about our progress.

1:28.9

And then a slip became a slide and we couldn't find our way back.

1:34.2

And this isn't something that happens once.

1:36.1

This is something that usually happens again and again and again.

1:39.3

And it's not usually dramatic.

1:41.3

It's not usually this big blowout or intentional decision. It starts small.
