Summary
Let's talk about your goals. How's it going? Or, maybe, WTF happened?
Is there a gap between what you said you were going to do and what you've actually been doing?
Are you finding that you make excuses & exceptions on the regular?
You're not alone.
But let's not let the year slip away feeling like we could have done more or tried harder. Let's assess the situation and get real about how we can get the results we want. That's what today is all about.
http://primalpotential.com/138-wtf-happened/
In today's episode we're talking about how to break out of the cycle of setting intentions and not doing the work. Unfortunately, we take the approach of "same pond, same frog" and end up wondering, "WTF happened?" The intentions were there, the motivation was there when we set the intentions, but same pond, same frog, nothing new to see here.
The notion of "same pond, same frog" basically means that we don't change ourselves and we don't change our environment but try to change the outcome. It doesn't work.
I want to teach you, in this episode, how to set yourself up for the situation of either:
- Same pond, new frog OR
- New pond, new frog
You must change YOURSELF if you want to change your results.
We cannot focus on the external only. When we focus on eating differently or exercising differently, those are external foci.
Our external results are reflective of our internal results. Change must start inside.
To be successful in achieving our goals, we must strengthen the following mental muscles:
- Motivation
- Consistency
- Self-discipline
In this episode I detail these 5 keys to creating new results & becoming a new frog.
- Start small
- Keep your word
- Challenge yourself
- Be positive
- Seek feedback from failures

| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.8 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.4 | Let's get started. |
| 0:25.0 | Hello, hello and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:29.4 | It is me, Elizabeth and I know it's a super strange title for a podcast. |
| 0:36.5 | WTF happened. |
| 0:37.9 | I know, but I have a question for you and that question is WTF happened to your January |
| 0:45.8 | goals, right? |
| 0:47.2 | You know, the motivation, the expectations, the things you said you'd do, the goal you |
| 0:53.4 | said you'd reach in January. |
| 0:55.8 | WTF happened. |
| 0:58.2 | You did better, ugly, maybe some of you guys are crushing and that's cool. |
| 1:01.8 | Let's take a second, honestly and objectively, to compare our intentions, what we plan to |
| 1:09.2 | do, what we said we would do, with what has actually happened. |
| 1:14.6 | Did you do what you said you would do, right? |
| 1:19.2 | Maybe you did, maybe you're crushing it and if you are freaking awesome, keep it up, |
| 1:23.6 | keep crushing, don't stop, keep doing what you're doing. |
| 1:27.2 | I have a sneaking suspicion and in fairness, it's more than a sneaking suspicion because |
| 1:32.0 | I talk to you guys, you email me or you're in my courses, you're in my group coaching. |
| 1:37.6 | So I kind of know that most people did not hit the ground running in 2016 the way that |
| 1:45.5 | maybe they thought they would hope they would have told themselves they would, right? |
