Summary
Do you ever read something that makes you immediately level up your actions or effort? I sure do and I love it when that happens!
I'm no longer intrigued by things that sound nice. I'm only intrigued by things I can act on immediately. I'm intrigued by things that help me improve what I do & how I act. My mind is full of ideas. I think we need to know less but do more.
Today's episode is about something that moved me to action and immediately increased my effort. It's an Instagram post from CrossFit athlete Dan Bailey. After injury and surgery, here's what he had to say:
"Currently a little over 3 weeks out from surgery after rupturing my quad tendon. Still pretty swollen but it's getting better every week.
Progress isn't measured in lbs and kilos but centimeters of knee flexion and reduction in swelling (that and setting a goal to bench 4 wheels). Everyday starts with a POD attitude (performance on demand @tosh.crookedbutterfly) meaning, this is the best your going to feel today, even though your knee looks like a softball, that doesn't really matter, performance is still demanded, so what can you do mentally, physically and spiritually to increase your work capacity? I'd be lying if I said this is what happens everyday but it's what I shoot for."
What can you do mentally, physically & spiritually to increase your work capacity?
This challenged me and made my day better. Today's episode will do the same for you. Take a listen!

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.7 | 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. |
| 0:21.6 | Let's get started. |

| 0:45.8 | So this is episode 473, episode 474 drops on Monday and it's going to be another science-based |
| 0:54.5 | episode. |
| 0:55.5 | So take a really close look at how to optimize your carbohydrate consumption, how to better |
| 1:03.7 | leverage your carbs stores, so your muscle glycogen, your liver glycogen, so that when fat |
| 1:10.9 | losses your goal, you are reducing the likelihood that anything you eat gets converted to and |
| 1:18.6 | stored as fat, as body fat. |
| 1:22.1 | So the science, the tactic is coming your way on episode 474 in just a few days. |
| 1:28.2 | You know I love to geek out on science, so don't miss that episode. |
| 1:34.0 | For today, we are tackling something that is very different, but I think slightly more practical |
| 1:41.1 | because while I love, love, love, love, love the science, I know that a lot of people |
| 1:47.0 | accumulate information without consistently translating it into action, consistently |
| 1:55.7 | translating it into action. |
