Summary
One of the final episodes of the Primal Potential podcast for 2016! I get super fired up debunking this notion that some people are "all or nothing". No, you aren't.
However, you won't exceed your expectations so if that's the story you keep telling yourself, that's the path you'll continue to choose.
You control the narrative, the narrative doesn't control you.
As I explain in today's episode, maybe you always sleep on the left side of the bed. Does that make you a "left side of the bed person"? No, of course not.
You're 100% capable of sleeping on the right side of the bed or on the floor. It's just that you've made the decision, the choice, to sleep on the left side of the bed a lot.
That pattern has nothing to do with what you're capable of today.
However, if you tell yourself that you can only sleep on the left side of the bed, guess what? You'll be right every time.
You won't exceed your expectations so if they aren't getting you where you want to go, it's time to change them.
This is an episode you won't want to miss!

| 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 |
| 0:13.7 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.3 | Let's get started. |
| 0:24.5 | Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:28.4 | I am Elizabeth Benton and let me first write off the bat. |
| 0:31.0 | Apologize for any construction you hear. |
| 0:33.7 | I have to record this episode and they are doing construction and you might hear it and it's okay. |
| 0:39.3 | It'll be a good practice in not sweating the small stuff. |
| 0:43.6 | So we are closing in really fast on 2017 and we made a deal. |
| 0:48.8 | I don't know if you remember in one of the last episodes I said I'll keep these episodes |
| 0:52.2 | short and high impact and you keep coming back as opposed to checking out, drifting, |
| 0:58.3 | and then sheepishly a few weeks into January realizing you feel like crap and it's time to get |
| 1:03.2 | serious. It's not so much that I want you to make great choices every day during a time of |
| 1:09.9 | year where that can be really hard. What I want is for you to pay attention, for you to be present, |
| 1:15.7 | for you to at least be aware of your health, your goals, and what makes you feel your best. |
| 1:22.0 | Regardless of the choices you make, I don't want anybody going through another holiday season where |
| 1:27.6 | it's like, eh, whatever, screw it. I'm just going to enjoy every little moment and then you don't |
| 1:33.3 | really enjoy much at all because you feel like crap. Now, if you can get past whatever construction |
| 1:38.6 | noises you might hear, I actually think this might be one of the best episodes of 2016. |
| 1:44.6 | I'm going to be talking about all or nothing thinking. Now, I've talked about that many different |
| 1:49.4 | times before, but today we're taking a different kind of angle here. The reason being, |
