Summary
We are so used to overthinking, overconsuming, overanalyzing and coming up with long term strategic plans that we've forgotten how to simplify.
I had a listener email me recently saying that she wants to stop dieting. She wants to get healthy. She doesn't want to over-restrict or count anything, she just wants to eat more real food and less processed foods.
Then she said, "I have no idea where to start".
That is evidence of how far we've strayed from simplicity.
Where she starts is, quite simply: how can I execute that today? What can I do today to eat more whole foods? What can I do today to eat fewer processed foods?
But simplicity is not just about food.
We've lost simplicity in our belongings. In our thoughts. In our actions.
And today, we begin to get it back. Don't miss this episode!

| 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. |
| 0:24.8 | Hey everybody, Elizabeth Benton here. |
| 0:27.4 | Welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:30.1 | I am psyched that you are spending a bit of your day with me today. |
| 0:35.8 | And I'd like to kick off by asking you a question. |
| 0:39.0 | Have you listened to episode 410 yet? |
| 0:44.0 | 410 is back from early November, November 4th to be exact. |
| 0:48.8 | And you would remember it because it's audio from the very first ascend, Primal Potential |
| 0:55.5 | weekend event in 2016. |
| 0:58.0 | It's the only audio that I have aired from ascend on the podcast and it was the episode |
| 1:03.4 | where I talk about the value of simplicity and the small things. |
| 1:10.2 | And how we routinely dismiss the small things as two small to matter, two small to make |
| 1:15.1 | a difference. |
| 1:16.1 | And we kind of set ourselves up for struggle by valuing complexity and novelty over simplicity |
| 1:24.5 | and valuing the things we don't yet know, the things we need to learn over the simple |
| 1:30.0 | things we already know but just don't do consistently. |
| 1:35.6 | They're so small that they're easy to understand and they're pretty straightforward to do but |
| 1:41.6 | they're just as easy not to do and certainly just as easy to dismiss. |
| 1:48.5 | So if you have not yet listened to episode 410, please do. |
