Don't allow a route to grow.

We were made to move.

Hey, everybody, welcome back

to the Primal Potential Podcast

and welcome back to our consistency

365 series mini episodes that air between our regular full-length

episodes on Mondays and Saturdays intended to help you reconnect to what you want most so that we don't stay in this

pattern of wanting these big changes but then life gets in the way.

So many of us are stuck in patterns that we choose again and again and again. Maybe the pattern is procrastination.

Maybe the pattern is procrastination. Maybe the pattern is desert. Maybe the pattern is too much

time watching television. But the thing is, when we allow these behavioral patterns to linger for weeks and then months

and then years and potentially decades, we root ourselves to these things.

So our opportunity is to look for where we feel rooted to something that doesn't serve us, that doesn't serve who we want to be, that doesn't

serve, how we want to be, and intentionally create change.

I was sharing on social media the other day that my husband, Chris and I went out on a date night really more of a date

afternoon and I used to have a pattern of making every dinner out, every date night, every circumstance beyond my

norm, a reason to indulge. Oh, well, it's date night. Oh, well, we're reason to indulge. Oh well it's date night, oh well we're out to eat. And I was

really rooted to that pattern. I couldn't make an excuse out of anything. Oh we're

having people over. I should definitely get dessert and eat it myself.

I always seized an opportunity for an excuse and that constant justification was essentially

arguing for inconsistency. We need change, we need to move. Is there anything wrong with having cupcake when your friends come over?

No, of course not. Is there anything wrong with having a margarita when you're out for dinner?
