Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast and another episode in our consistency 365 series all about navigating the moments where you are feeling compelled to not follow through on what you said you would do.

You are feeling compelled to make an excuse, submit to an excuse and choose a pattern of behaviour that is not the pattern of behaviour you want to define you.

How do we navigate these moments? That's what this series is all about.

One thing I hear a lot from clients is I messed up. I dropped the ball. I started out strong but I have failed again and I can relate to that until until I realised that what I used to consider failure or quitting or dropping the ball.

Letting myself down, all of these things that I would beat myself up over and have a lot of shame around, they are just experience and there is a tremendous amount of value in that experience.

So I looked at a couple of decades of failed weight loss as shameful, as something to be embarrassed of, as something to push away and not look at.

But I didn't realise at the time that all of those experiences of not creating the success I hoped for held a ton of valuable information.

It's not failure unless you stop, unless you completely give up, I'm done, I'm never trying again. Everything else is experience that holds valuable information.

What I work to do in my own life and in part on my clients is take everything I possibly can from those experiences where I didn't show up the way I wanted to show up and ask what can I learn?

What can this teach me? How can I use this as a stepping stone because it absolutely has the potential to be that?

For example, there's this one grocery store by me and they happen to have these cookies that I think are absolutely fantastic.

I have many times gone into that grocery store intending to not buy cookies and bought cookies and ate them on the way home or as soon as I got home, but that's not failure, that's information.

It's information that can really help me.

So, one of the strategies that I use, if I'm having a day or I'm feeling kind of snacky or I know I'm over tired or maybe my mood is off, I go to a different grocery store.

I mean, that might sound crazy, but that is an example, maybe a silly one, but an example of how these things that maybe we have previously called failures are information that we can use to help us.

There have been many times in my life where I've planned to do something for dinner and not done it and instead ordered out or had something that wasn't aligned with my goals.

That's not failure, that is information, that is experience that holds a ton of value.
