Drop the Labels

On this episode, I teach you about how damaging labels can be. Now when I say labels, you may be thinking about those sticky labels such as on jars. But I want to focus on a different type of label, those are the labels that you create with your words….we can call them “word labels”. And just like the sticky labels, the longer you hold onto word labels, the “stickier they become” and the harder they are to remove. Your brain’s default mechanism is based on primitive thinking of taking short cuts…using all or none thinking….quickly labeling something as good or bad in an effort to decide if you should fight or flee. This type of thinking is not rational and frequently erroneous. So word labels are used to define both yourself and others. They can feel hurtful, heavy and disrespectful.  Learn how to "drop the labels"!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Earn CME:Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here:  https://earnc.me/Av8QyN----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out StressFreeMD:https://www.stressfreemd.net/Physicians schedule your FREE 30-Minute Stress Relief Strategy Call:https://go.oncehub.com/StressReliefStrategyCallGet your 4 FREE stress relieving videos:https://www.stressfreemd.net/free-self-care-videosPhysicians: join our free private physicians-only Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/thephysiciansselfcarecommunityFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/stressfreemd/Connect with me on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robyntigermd/Follow me on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robyntigermdFollow me on Twitter:https://twitter.com/robyntigermdExclusive physician CME accredited programming: Rx Inner Peacehttps://www.stressfreemd.net/rxinnerpeaceSelf-Care Shop--accredited programs for healthcare and open to everyonehttps://www.stressfreemd.net/selfcareshopPrivate 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.stressfreemd.net/[email protected] website:https://www.podpage.com/the-stressfreemd-podcast/
