Summary
Everyone knows that hindsight is 20/20. We all wish we could go back and give our younger self's advice. Today's podcast focuses on the exact opposite idea. The past is in the past, we've learned lessons the hard way, and it is time to move on and look forward. In today's podcast (one of my favorites!), I'm talking about lessons to my future self.
All of this introspection was inspired by the article, "20 Tips I'd Give Myself 20 Years Ago" which has NOTHING to do with fatloss. In the podcast, I'm breaking out key points from the article that really hit home for me, and I'm sharing the 3 lessons I would give to my future self.

Your life is not about how much you weigh or what size you wear. Your life is about how you feel.
Are you happy? Happiness is about JOY! As you create more joy, you create more happiness. The goal is not about a number, the goal is about the joy in your heart.
Don't let fear influence your decisions.
How many times have you not done something because you were scared of what other people would think or say? How much have you missed out on?
Don't let the fear of rejection, looking stupid, or getting hurt keep you from experiencing all of the things you want to experience and enjoying life like you deserve.
You matter more than the work you do. You are not the work you do.
Make yourself a priority. You will have more to give the world when you give more to yourself.

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |

| 0:23.7 | Hello everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:28.0 | You have turned in for a good one today. |
| 0:30.4 | In fact, I think this one might end up being one of my favorite episodes. |
| 0:36.4 | So you guys know that I read a lot and I love finding parallels between life and fat loss |
| 0:42.2 | because ultimately from my perspective, we aren't on a diet. |
| 0:46.3 | We're living our lives and trying to do so in a way that brings us towards our goals and helps us |
| 0:51.9 | reach our highest potential and create the best lives that we are capable of creating. |
| 0:57.4 | That's the joy in the process. It's not about restriction or deprivation. |
| 1:02.3 | It's about living a really great life and it's an interesting time because obviously there are |
| 1:10.0 | a lot of kind of rough, terrible things happening in the world almost every day and I feel like |
| 1:17.2 | they are increasing my resolve to find a way to make every day amazing. |
| 1:25.6 | And my reality is that life was not amazing when I was obsessed with food and defining myself |
| 1:32.7 | by the number inside my jeans or the number on the scale and I'm going to talk more about that |
| 1:37.5 | because there's so much more to say there. In fact, it's kind of part of the point of this |
| 1:41.2 | podcast but let me get back to what brought me to this episode. |
| 1:46.6 | One thing I do a lot of is read and I love to read books and articles and listen to books. |
| 1:52.8 | There aren't that many podcasts I listen to anymore but I think that's just the nature of what I do. |
| 1:57.9 | Most of what I read has nothing to do with fat loss directly or health directly but it's so easy |
