Summary

We treat the holidays like they're a 10-week freefall — but the truth is, most of your meals, your moments, and your mindset are still in your control. In this episode, I'll show you how to stay in your power without swinging to extremes.

You'll learn:

The surprising "Holiday Math" that changes everything
Why your inner narrative matters more than your plan
How to use science-backed micro-moves to stay grounded
Why movement, sleep, and sunlight aren't about discipline — they're about physiology
The real reason people fall off during this season (hint: it's not willpower)

Whether you're feeling chaotic, discouraged, or like you always lose ground at this time of year — this episode gives you a new way to stay engaged, without guilt or rigidity.

0:00.0	If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to
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
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it. Hello, everybody,
0:30.6	and welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. I'm so excited to do some
0:36.8	holiday math with you today. And I'll tell
0:39.2	you why I think this is so important. And this isn't just for you. This is also for me,
0:43.1	because there have been many years of my life where I felt like the holidays were just this
0:48.2	torturous season that made it impossible to stick to my goals, whether it was because I didn't have enough time
0:55.0	to work out or there was just treats on every occasion at every turn. And what would happen is
1:00.4	I would wake up in January, feeling like I was in a hole, not trusting myself, feeling disappointed,

1:19.8	But tomorrow never really came until I reached a point of desperation sometime between Christmas
1:24.9	and New Year's or shortly thereafter. So what I want to do is my
1:29.2	version of holiday math that helps me get out of this story that the holidays are so hard
1:35.2	and it's impossible to make good choices. We're just going to stick to some facts. Okay.
1:40.5	We're going to start our holiday math a few weeks back. We're going to start around mid-October. Often we'll going to start our holiday math a few weeks back we're going to start around mid-October often we'll
1:47.7	refer to this as like the holiday season and we act as though it's like a two-and-a-half period two-and-a-half
1:53.0	month blackout period but let's say Halloween is one holiday right where maybe you're just going to
