How to Release the Beliefs Holding You Back with Tim Shurr
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, you’ll learn how to release the hidden “parking brakes” holding you back by upgrading the beliefs driving your habits, emotions, and performance. Tim Shurr, MA shares his “mind architect” approach and why one simple shift can create fast, lasting change.
We break down how the subconscious influences most decisions, how to uncover blind spots, and two questions you can use to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. We also explore why focusing on what you do not want backfires, how your brain works like a GPS, and how leaders get better results by celebrating what is working.
Tim finishes with the daily habits he uses, what he is teaching in 2026 with One Shift Away, and his final advice: love yourself so you can trust yourself.
