CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

1314: Addicted to Novelty: How Chasing "New" Nearly Crushed My Business (And My Health)


Listen Later

đź“‹ Episode Summary:

In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal story — one that almost cost me my business, sabotaged my health, and left me emotionally flat: my addiction to novelty. I chased the next new thing like it was the answer to everything — and for a while, it felt like momentum. But the truth? It was misdirection.

Whether it's in weight loss, business, or life, we've been conditioned to confuse excitement with effectiveness. And when the emotional high of "new" wears off, we think we're off track. We're not.

This episode is your reminder that consistency will always beat novelty — when you let it.

đź§  What You'll Learn:
  • Why chasing the "next new thing" feels like progress — but usually isn't

  • How emotional flatness isn't failure — it's feedback

  • The difference between pushing and precision

  • How to identify the "novelty trap" in your own life

  • What sustainable progress actually looks and feels like

  • Why you might be mistaking emotional withdrawal for being "off track"

  • Questions to ask when you're tempted to start over… again

đź’Ą Power Phrases from This Episode:
  • "Novelty gives you a hit but mastery gives you freedom."

  • "Progress isn't about being emotionally high it's about being directionally right."

  • "You're not addicted to results, you're addicted to change."

  • "You're building a system, not chasing a feeling."

  • "Consistency isn't built by flair, it's built by follow-through."

✨ Mentioned Inside:
  • The Consistency Course — If you're ready to stop starting over and build something that lasts, this is for you.
