Summary

It used to be so easy for me to say to myself, "Alright! I'm really doing it this time! No more excuses! This is it for real! I'm ready!!" But it never happened like that. It just didn't. I became a master of talking myself into whatever choice felt good at the time. I'd say, "It's just this one thing, it can't possibly hurt" or, "I'll be extra strict tomorrow" or "I'll workout later and be sure to burn it off". I knew exactly what debates and arguments worked best. Those types of internal debates are what I refer to as "anchors". They hold you back. They pull you down. They drag you off course. Identifying these anchors and understanding how you justify exceptions is absolutely critical in learning how to stop making excuses. Because really, these excuses, these internal debates are the exact reason you haven't got the results you want. It's the "why" behind your inconsistency. In today's episode we're getting super practical (and personal) about how to stop making excuses by identifying how you justify and excuse choices that won't help you reach your goals.

Hey there, it's Elizabeth and welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am going to be doing something kind of different today, actually totally different.

0:35.2

And I'm going to share some background with you, but then I'm going to be sharing with

0:39.0

you words from one of my one-on-one coaching clients.

0:43.2

This is someone I have been working with since January of this year and we interact daily

0:50.4

as I do with all of my one-on-one clients in a shared document where they track a lot

0:55.8

of things, some of them treat it more like a journal than others.

0:59.5

And one of my clients had a major mindset breakthrough this week that I was so proud of and

1:06.5

so excited about, excited for her progress, excited for her journey, but also very excited

1:13.4

for the way that I thought it would resonate with other people.

1:16.8

And so on our weekly call, I asked her if she would be comfortable with me sharing it

1:23.4

on the podcast and with some of my other clients.

1:26.4

And first I shared it with some of my other clients and they felt like it was as helpful

1:31.5

and powerful as I did.

1:34.2

And now I want to share it with you.

1:36.3

And I'm really excited to do that because I invest a lot of time and energy into my relationships
