Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton.

This is our Consistency 365 series. Today I want to share with you a mantra that I have

been using to help me with consistency. One of the keys to consistent behavioral patterns

for me is being calm. Because if I get flustered when my time is short, I'm less likely to be

consistent. If I get flustered when I'm emotional or I forgot to prepare something for dinner or

what we plan to have, we can't have, I'm less likely to be consistent. So one of the keys

to consistency for me is keeping calm mind. The mantra that I have been practicing is in this

moment, let me limit or expand my perspective to whatever will keep me calmest for the task at

hand. So sometimes that means limiting my perspective and I don't have to think about what I'm

going to do tomorrow or how I'm going to handle XYZ later. Sometimes I need to limit my

perspective to what is going on right now and that is what keeps me calmest. Other times I

need to expand my perspective to keep me calmest. In the scheme of things, this really doesn't matter.

In the scheme of things, I'm grateful for this moment. In the scheme of things, in the big picture

of life, this is actually kind of funny and not worth stressing about or reacting to in any

negative way. So I challenge myself and if calm isn't the pursuit that you have, maybe it is

rational, maybe it is logical, maybe it is confident, maybe it's motivated, maybe it's focused.

But how do I need to limit my perspective in a way that keeps me focused or in a way that keeps

me calm or in a way that keeps me motivated, whatever it is, but also how do I need to expand my

perspective to whatever will keep me calmest or whatever will keep me more focused or whatever will

keep me most motivated, most ready for the task at hand. Sometimes we need to shrink our vision,

sometimes we need to expand it, but I'm carrying that with me as I go through different moments in the

day so that I can choose the perspective that sets me up for my best performance, for my best
