MM Ep 47: Warning Labels
from The Mind Body Project · host Aaron Degler
We play with a bold idea: imagine if we had medication-style warning labels that listed our “side effects” in friendships, relationships, and work. We use that thought experiment to spot triggers, own our patterns, and lower the harm when stress, anxiety, or lack of sleep shows up. • The medication commercial metaphor and what it reveals about self-image • Imagining the “warnings” others might read in us • Spotting triggers that lead to anxiety, spirals, or shutdown • Stress and sleep as common causes of reactive behavior • Making side effects less extreme through therapy, friends, and self-development I challenge you to write those some of those warnings or side effects down that you might currently have. And where can you start to reduce those so they're not so extreme? https://aarondegler.com/
