Published: Oct. 22, 2020, 10 a.m.

b'In a culture that\\u2019s obsessed with adding things in (we want more, more, more), we can forget how powerful removing things can be. We need to take away that which is preventing us from reaching our goals in order to truly move forward.\\n\\xa0\\nOn this week\\u2019s episode of The Broken Brain Podcast, Dhru talks about nine things he commonly sees people doing that hold them back from their goals and dreams (whether they realize it or not). This episode was originally released at the beginning of the year. \\nI\\u2019m willing to bet these nine habits will hit home with many of you. Do you obsess over what other people think of you? Do you waste time on social media as a way of avoiding other things? Or maybe you\\u2019re the kind of person who is constantly hard on yourself and lives according to other people\\u2019s expectations instead of your own desires. There are so many tendencies we fall into, for many different reasons, but that doesn\\u2019t mean we\\u2019re stuck with them.\\xa0\\nWe can change, we can grow, we can shift our mindset and actions to finally reach those meaningful goals.\\nIn this episode, we dive into:\\n-Why we obsess over what others think of us (1:49)\\xa0\\n-Why we waste time on social media (11:27)\\xa0\\n-Why we don\\u2019t ask for help or support from friends (16:17)\\n-Why we blame everyone instead of looking within (21:17)\\n-Why we avoid setting an intention for the day (25:08)\\n-Why we spend time with the wrong people (29:10)\\n-Why we don\\u2019t read books that help us level up (32:28)\\n-Why we live the life that others expect of us, instead of a life true to you (37:11)\\n-Why we are hard on ourselves all day, everyday (44:56)\\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\\n-The instagram post that inspired this podcast - https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2MMvbAudw/\\n-Moss Reports on Cancer by Dr. Ralph Moss - https://www.mossreports.com/\\n-Dr. Elizabeth Boham - http://www.drboham.com/\\n-Broken Brain Podcast episodes on friendship\\n-https://drhyman.com/blog/2019/10/31/bb-ep78/\\n-https://drhyman.com/blog/2019/12/17/why-we-need-deep-and-meaningful-relationships/\\n-https://drhyman.com/blog/2020/06/10/bb-ep122/\\n-https://drhyman.com/blog/2020/09/23/bb-ep153/\\n-Broken Brain Podcast Episode 55 - How to Redesign the Subconscious Mind from Limitation to Freedom with Peter Crone - https://drhyman.com/blog/2019/05/16/bb-ep55/\\n-Broken Brain Podcast Episode 75 - How a Morning Routine, Human Touch, and Nourishing Relationships Can Radically Lower Your Stress with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee - https://drhyman.com/blog/2019/10/10/bb-ep75/\\n-The One Thing by Gary Keller - https://www.the1thing.com/\\n-The Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware - https://bronnieware.com/regrets-of-the-dying/\\n-The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808\\n-The Landmark Forum - https://www.landmarkworldwide.com/\\nFor more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.
