In this podcast titled ‘Why Labels for Ourselves and Others are Limiting,' Tricia and Nigel look at the how the words, ‘I am...’ can contribute to a more fixed view.
In the quest for honesty and what is real, telling yourself 'I am (funny, caring, compassionate, happy or any other label)' may inhibit noticing and expressing what is actually felt and happening for you. It may lead you to believe the 'I am' narrative, limiting the openness to see things differently or bring out more of what is there. How do you feel about the points raised here?
In these heart based living podcasts, we aim to share the small yet significant things to notice in yourself and outside of yourself, that influence the way in which you live, the way you feel, your health and happiness.
