3-Step Process for Ignoring the Negative Opinions of Others
Having the approval and praise of others is a natural human desire. We evolved to depend on each other for our survival, and so maintaining strong social bonds is in our DNA. But too often, people may voice their disapproval who do not have our best interests at heart. Other times, people may be too overcome with fear and worry to approve of people's lifestyles and choices that are different from theirs.So how can we navigate these uncertain waters? How can we know when to take advice and when to follow our hearts? And how can we do what we feel to be right without letting other people's judgments, criticisms and unhelpful opinions bring us down?I share my answer to these and other questions in this podcast. I also give my simple 3-step process for how to make big dreams a reality without being affected by the negative opinions of others. Only we can know what's best for ourselves. Other people can only know what's best for them. Here's how we can block out the noise, stay focused on the goal, and achieve great things.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Having seen so many around me suffering from stress, addiction, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, I decided to embark upon a 9-year journey that would take me to over 35 countries living with and learning from shamans, gurus, monks and tribes. I studied 16 religions and spiritualities, ancient wisdom and modern science, and spent 50 days meditating in total solitude, all in an effort to discover the secrets to a peaceful mind. If you’re ready to let go of your negative thoughts and the baggage that is weighing you down, if you’re ready for a life filled with joy, purpose and meaning, please join me on the Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter.
