We think the advice is still solid!\n\nLabels on bins are great. Labels we give ourselves can be limiting. This week, Janine and Shannon talk about the problem with negative labels we apply to ourselves, along with the benefits of positive labels. We also discuss some of the labels we're trying to shed in our own lives.\n\nDiscussion topics include:\n\n\u2022 Words matter: By talking tendencies, not labels, we allow ourselves room for change\n\u2022 How Janine, who is naturally good at good enough, sometimes acts in a perfectionistic way\n\u2022 What should we call people who embrace good enough? (Good enoughers?)\n\u2022 That positive labels can be helpful, but negative ones are limiting\n\u2022 How our self-applied labels don\u2019t necessarily reflect reality (Shannon had run three marathons before she would call herself a real runner!)\n\u2022 How Shannon overcame a swimming phobia as a gift to herself for her 40th birthday\n\u2022 Thinking about which labels can be useful and which aren\u2019t helpful at all\n\u2022 The shift in Janine\u2019s thinking about her self-applied \u201cmessy\u201d label\n\u2022 Labels Janine and Shannon hear from their clients\n\u2022 Just-in-time productivity versus procrastination\n\u2022 How if your label becomes your identity, it\u2019s something to explore (particularly if it\u2019s holding you back)\n\u2022 Janine\u2019s label as a \u201cnon-handy\u201d person and her strategies for changing it\n\u2022 Shannon\u2019s label as someone with a bad memory and how she\u2019d like to change that\n\nCheck out the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cd2e0d56-1e2f-481a-8571-c4663350c6a6/648i5bBT0OJL-jqDq5kKTfH1.png"}
