No matter what you do, somebody's not going to like it, so you may as well do what you want.

However, what might the consequences of my actions be?

Way better question.

Today's conversation is about how to break free of limiting beliefs that hold us back in all aspects of life.

Whether you have a health goal, whether you have a goal in your relationship, whether you want to make progress on some creative endeavor that's important to you.

We must capture and identify our old belief systems that are holding us back and understand that they are not true.

And that's what today's conversation is all about.

Welcome to the Drew Prod podcast.

Each week we explore the inner workings of the brain and the body with one of the brightest minds and wellness, medicine and mindset.

This week's guest is Shelley Lefko.

Shelley Lefko is the co-founder of the Lefko Institute, a San Francisco-based firm whose mission is to significantly improve the quality of life on the planet.

Shelley, who's been a guest on the podcast previously, has helped thousands of clients, including many of you who have reached out to her, recreate their lives by ridding themselves of a wide variety of problems including phobias, relationships that never seem to work, violence, procrastination, unwillingness to confront people,

health and wellness issues, and even sexual dysfunction.

Her clients have eliminated emotional patterns such as fear, hostility, shyness, anxiety, depression, worry, and so much more, but most importantly, they've rid themselves of what people think of them and the negative sense of themselves.

Today's conversation with Shelley expands on all these ideas and more, starting with the most fundamental thing of what are our beliefs.

How do some of them hold us back from the things that we say are important to us in life, and how do we begin to be aware of them so that we can let them go?

It's a fascinating conversation with Shelley. I hope you enjoy. Stay tuned.

Shelley, welcome back to the podcast. It's a pleasure to have you here. I want to jump right in and we're talking about beliefs and stress.

So when I start at the top, what are some of the top ways that our beliefs can cause more stress in our life, which impacts everything, including of course, our health and fitness goals?

Everything, and it's great to be back. It's always great to be with you.

So first of all, I just want to, for people who haven't seen me, I want to say that my definition of beliefs is a statement about reality that you hold as the truth.

So when I talk about beliefs, that's what I mean. It's something that is true, so nothing else can be true if that is.
