Before your behavior was a pattern, it was a perspective.

Before it was a behavior, it was a belief.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am Elizabeth Benton.

This is our consistency 365 series. These are many episodes that air between our full

length episodes on Mondays and Saturdays so that we all develop this habit of finding the opportunities that exist every single day to do a

little better to be a little better. No longer waiting for the perfect time or the

stress-free day or when we have the focus or when the motivation is there

but every day there's something we can do and every day we're going to find it and we're going to do it.

I posted about this on my Instagram you can find me over there at Elizabeth Benton

about how we're very familiar with the patterns we want to change maybe you eat after

dinner and you just want to stop maybe you're really great all week but your

weekends are garbage. Maybe you can do well in the morning but in the afternoon or

evening the wheels fall off the bus whatever it is for you. You start strong and you

never finish. Before that was a pattern, it was a perspective. What I mean by that is all of our

behaviors flow directly from the stories we tell ourselves about them.

So before anything ever becomes a problem behavior, there was a belief, there was a thought,

there was a story that made you decide this is the appropriate course of

action this is the way I'm gonna respond this is the choice I'm gonna make

before it was a belief, it was a belief.

So today I want you to think about what is that pattern and what do I have as perspectives that fuel it. For example,

after the twins were born, this is the twins birthday week so they're on my mind.
