CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

Elizabeth Benton

Why are we so stressed and overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.

    1453: When Self-Improvement Turns Into Self-Rejection (Part 1)

    Declutter your home. Cook from scratch. Strength train, try fasting, invest for retirement. Every one of those is good advice, and the pile of it together is crushing so many of the women working hardest on themselves. This is part one of a series on what happens when self-improvement turns into self-rejection: why so many of us feel worse about ourselves the more we work on ourselves, and what we can do about it without giving up on our goals. In this episode: Why women in their 40s and 50s are the first generation to live with this much constant exposure to who we should beWhy reaching the goal doesn’t fix the not-enough feeling, and what I learned when that feeling came back for meHow self-improvement can be a tool or a weapon, depending on how you carry itWhat I told a girlfriend about my to-do list, and what I measure my day by nowA simple exercise for the next 24 hours: count your thoughtsWhere this series goes next Something exciting is coming.

If you’re collecting them too, here are a few from this episode worth saving: Manageable isn’t the same as optimal. You can be the woman who somehow gets it all done for the rest of your life. That doesn’t mean it’s the best way to live, and it doesn’t mean you’ll ever feel at peace doing it.Self-improvement can be a tool or a weapon, depending on how you carry it. Carried as a weapon, your goals and to-dos come with shame, shoulds, rules and pressure, and an unfinished list means you failed the day. Carried as a tool, the same goals feel like an opportunity instead of a burden, and the day gets measured by what matters more: your faith, the people you love, moments of joy, and the difference you made for someone.When a goal is built on “the way I am right now isn’t good enough,” reaching it can’t fix that feeling, because the goal was never where the feeling came from. You can lose the weight or get out of debt and still feel exactly the way you did before you started.When the message all day long is that everything about you needs work, your attention lands on yourself, and most of it lands on what’s wrong. A mind full of me and what I lack leaves almost no room for what’s good, or for the people who matter more than me.

    1450: Started Over a Hundred Times? The 3 Checks Before Your Next Plan

    The most helpful thing I ever told a client was to eat nine pieces of Halloween candy. For weeks she’d promised herself “none,” and for weeks it hadn’t worked once. Nine worked right away. Less than 10 days later, she wasn’t eating the candy at all. In this episode, I break down why, and what makes the next plan different from the last hundred. In this episode: Why the plan you know you should follow and the plan you’re willing to follow can be miles apartThe question I use to find the version I’ll actually do, and the day I used it after butchering chickens, a sick babysitter and no food until 3 p.m.Why “I must not want it enough” is the wrong explanationHow to tell whether an excuse is about this moment or part of a patternThe three checks to run before you start over again Read the free written version on Substack: https://elizabethbentonthompson.substack.com/p/started-over-a-hundred-times-heres If you want to go deeper: 3 Strategies for When You Know What to Do but Still Aren’t Doing It: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1340-3-strategies-for-when-you-know-what-to-do-but/id954984769?i=1000724349837How to Shut Down Excuses in the Moment, Even When They Feel True: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1337-how-to-shut-down-excuses-in-the-moment-even-when/id954984769?i=1000723192258Consistency Vault Part 2: Dial Down: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1378-consistency-vault-part-2-dial-down/id954984769?i=1000744777319 Follow me on Substack: https://substack.com/@elizabethbentonthompson

    1448: The Four Traps That Keep You Repeating the Same Struggles

    If you can tell me what time tomorrow you're most likely to struggle, you already have what you need to stop it. Most of us know exactly when we fall off. The dinner we didn't plan. The workout that gets pushed until the day is gone. The afternoon that starts overwhelmed and scattered. We know what to do, we know we're not doing it, and we even know why. And still, we keep getting caught off guard, the same way so many of us get caught off guard by Christmas every December. Elizabeth walks through the four traps that keep us repeating the same struggles: Believing that wanting to do better is enough. Wanting to do better has never once changed a behavior.Planning the home run. The plan you're proudest of is often the one you're least likely to follow, and the one question to ask about every plan you make.Waiting for certainty. Certainty is something you earn by deciding. Waiting won't give you any."I don't have time." Most of us have never actually done the math. Then she shows you how to look at your next 48 hours, find the struggle that's already waiting for you, and decide what you'll do before you get there. If you'd like help seeing the patterns you can't see on your own, Build My Coach gives you three personal coaches in your pocket, built by Elizabeth and personalized to you, for less than the cost of a single coaching session.

    1446: Never Lose a Life-Changing Insight Again

    What if the most useful thing you’ve ever learned could actually find you when you needed it? Think about how many times you’ve read a book, listened to a podcast, sat through a sermon or heard something in a coaching conversation and thought: Oh my gosh. I need to remember that. Then real life happens. Six weeks later, you’re in the argument. Standing in the kitchen. Making the decision. Talking yourself out of the thing you said you wanted. And that incredible insight? Nowhere to be found. The insight existed. Access to the insight didn’t. That is the problem I’ve become obsessed with solving. For the last year and a half, I’ve been exploring what becomes possible when we stop using AI like a blank box that knows a lot of stuff and start deliberately training it on the information, frameworks, perspectives and context we actually want it to know. The result is something I genuinely believe can change the way we access coaching, perspective and even our own accumulated wisdom. It’s called Build My Coach, and today I’m finally showing you what I built. In this episode, we’re talking about why having great information is not the same as being able to use it, why we can spend years working hard on the wrong problem, what happens when you reach the edge of your own perspective, and why the moment you need coaching almost never happens to be the moment your coach is available. I’ll also show you what changed when I realized AI could do more than retrieve information. It could be trained to coach, and it could learn the person being coached. That led me to build three highly personalized AI coaches: Your Defense Coach, built to help in the moments when you’re talking yourself into the exception, excuse or choice that threatens to take you off course. Your Personalized Coach, built around your goals, patterns, history, circumstances and the way you need to be coached, with the ability to know you better the more you use it. EBGPT, giving you access to more than 13 years of my coaching, 2,000+ podcast episodes, programs, frameworks and body of work without requiring you to remember where I taught the thing you need. But while I was building all of this, I realized something: I wanted this for everything else I learn, too. I recently finished a marriage book filled with insights I desperately wanted to remember. Ask me right now for the most important ones. I can’t remember them. And I JUST read the book. So I started building something for myself that I’m now giving you as a launch bonus: BONUS: Build Your Personal Insight LibraryI’m going to show you how to create your own AI-powered library of the things you want available at your fingertips. The book that changed how you think about your marriage. The podcast that taught you something important about your career. The sermon you never wanted to forget. The course you paid for three years ago. Your own notes, realizations and insights. Not just stored somewhere. Accessible when you actually need them. The full step-by-step bonus training will be delivered October 12 and is included when you purchase Build My Coach during this launch. Get Build My Coach for $97Three highly personalized AI coaches.
