Hey everyone, Ben Cooper Radio, episode number 586. I hope you are well. Yes, if you're not, let's

look to change that because that is ultimately what we should all be doing. We don't like something if we can

change it let's change it and that's going to be the focus of today's show

beliefs, our beliefs and potentially how they hold us back. Now let's set the scene. You've

been listening to maybe this podcast for quite some time.

You've been learning about the body,

about the mind, about getting fitter,

fat loss, all of that stuff.

But you've reached a ceiling, you've hit a limit, you've hit a plateau, you can't seem to go any further.

And part of that might be what you believe. What you believe is possible, what you believe is possible, what you believe can change and ultimately what you believe you can't. Because beliefs are

deep. They run deep in our psyche, they are part of our emotions, they are part of our

subconscious brain, they're part of our wiring, and if we think about some of the beliefs that are really deep they're

quite often the beliefs that our parents gave us from our childhood from our

environment at school, maybe someone that was, that you were around a lot when

you were younger that you know had quite an impression on you maybe a particular teacher or friend and they helped shape

your belief system. The thing is these beliefs can get in the way. If we think about, let's use the topic of something

that we've been talking on the podcast recently, the topic of age and hormones.

If we believe our hormones are responsible for us gaining weight, then how much

action will we take to even challenge or disprove that and see if there is an alternative.

Because if we already believe it, then we're not going to take action to challenge it.

It's deep within us, we believe it.

We know it to be true, whether it's true or not.
