Summary
A couple months ago I shared with you guys that I was taking on a scary-for-me challenge: hot yoga. Specifically, 45 90-minute hot yoga classes in 45 days. The 45 days have now gone by (dang, time flies) and I'm sharing with you my final thoughts.
Specifically, I'm sharing what this challenge taught me about all-or-nothing thinking and why there is no "wagon". Yeah, that notion of being on or off "the wagon" has got to go!

Anti-Perfection & Why There Is No "Wagon"
I didn't make it to 45 classes in 45 days and I still count it as a massive win.
Yeah, we build this vision of perfection and expectation when we start something new or set a goal. That's normal. What's normal but not helpful is to see anything short of that vision as "failure".
It's not black and white. There are more possible outcomes and more possible ways to win than the way you've pre-defined it.
In fact, I think success will almost NEVER look like you envision it before you start.
Don't sell yourself a destructive story that anything other than your pre-defined vision of success is a failure. That's just not true!
In today's episode we're talking about other ways to find success, to be successful even when it isn't "perfect" and why there is no "wagon". Don't miss the full episode!

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Menden. |
| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.7 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:23.1 | Hello my sweet friends, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | I am Elizabeth Menden and I owe you guys an update. |
| 0:34.0 | I do many episodes ago. |
| 0:36.4 | I shared with you that I had given myself a challenge, a brand new to me challenge, |
| 0:42.2 | not only to take my first ever hot yoga class but to take 45 of them in 45 days. |
| 0:51.6 | If you missed the intro to that challenge and why I decided to do it, |
| 0:56.5 | what I was looking for, why yoga, why now, definitely check out episodes 235, 239, and 247 |
| 1:06.4 | because I give a lot of the backstory and I talk about the things I learned along the way, |
| 1:10.7 | things that I really didn't expect to learn that really don't have, well they have a lot to do with yoga |
| 1:15.9 | but I think they have more to do with life and fat loss and mindset than they do with yoga. |
| 1:21.9 | So definitely if you haven't yet, listen to episodes 235, 239, and 247 first because otherwise |
| 1:29.2 | I'm not sure that this one will make as much sense to you as it could or as it should. |
| 1:36.3 | Either way, 45 days has gone by and that's why I say I owe you guys an update and I completed |
| 1:42.5 | 40 classes in 45 days, it might actually be 41 but either way, not 45 and you know what, |
| 1:49.6 | I still think I crushed it and I'm still proud and I still see it as mission accomplished and some |
| 1:56.0 | of you might be thinking no you set out to do 45 and 45 and you didn't so you actually didn't do it |
| 2:03.4 | and well yeah I didn't do 45 classes in 45 days, I could have, I still see it as a win. |
| 2:10.4 | Towards the end I thought you know what if you want to hit 45 and 45 then you can take two classes, |
