Summary
Fear will hold you back. I get emails every single day from listeners looking for how to overcome fear. The fears are different, but the problem is the same.
- I'm afraid I don't have what it takes
- I'm afraid that even if I'll lose the weight I'll put it back on
- Fear of missing out gets me every time
- What if I have loose skin when I lose the weight?
Fear impedes action and is fueled by thought.
In today's episode I am sharing how to overcome fear and turn "what if" into "what now".

How to Overcome Fear
Fear is a case of too much future & not enough present
Thought fuels fear
Use affirmations to redirect your focus when you're focusing fear
- I'm not there yet
- That's not real now
- What can I do now?
- What is my next step?
In this moment, you are creating the conditions of your future - is it the future you want or the future you fear?
"Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will." W Clement Stone
Turn your "what ifs" into "what nows"
"Remove the veils so I might see what is really happening here and not be intoxicated by my stories and my fears" Elizabeth Lesser
Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow

In today's episode I mentioned a recipe from Bulletproof Executive for Golden Milk - I misspoke - it was Dr. Mark Hyman's recipe & you can find it here. (I omitted the stevia.)

| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and doing |
| 0:14.4 | so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:23.4 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | I am Elizabeth Menden and I am so happy that you are tuning in to hang out with me, |
| 0:35.5 | spend a little bit of time together making your life better, making your goals more possible. |

| 1:04.6 | matters to me, you matter to me, your goals matter to me and today we're going there. |
| 1:09.8 | And we're talking about your fears because fear is something that shows up in many of the emails |
| 1:19.0 | that I get, many of the conversations that happen in my fat loss fast track groups and the fears |
| 1:25.6 | are all different, but there's a lot that fear has in common even when the specific object of fear |
| 1:31.9 | is wildly different. Many of you talk about fear of going back to your old habits that you won't |
| 1:39.0 | sustain the changes that you've made, that it'll be just like last time and your motivation will |
| 1:45.8 | fizzle out. Any weight you've lost, you'll regain, that you just can't keep doing what you're doing, |
| 1:53.5 | not because it's impossible, but you doubt yourself. Maybe, and this is something I hear a lot of, |
| 1:59.3 | and I've done an episode on this one, maybe you fear that if you lose the weight, you'll have |
| 2:04.4 | loose skin, right? Maybe your fear is just a missing out of the hard work required to get from where |
| 2:11.5 | you are now to where you want to be. There are a lot of things that fear has in common, |
