In Need of Quirky Wisdom? – contact Janice Taylor, Life Coach, Weight Loss Expert and more…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Label Me Quirky: Last week, while \u201cnetworking\u201d (as they say) at a \u201cwellness event,\u201d I took note of the way I introduced myself to my fellow attendees. \u201cHi, I am Janice Taylor. I am a life and wellness coach<\/a>, a hypnotherapist, author of the Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> books, creator of the Kick in the Tush Club, a kooky genius (Oprah magazine said so), a mother, a wife, an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJeeze Louise,\u201d I thought to myself. It\u2019s as if I have a bag full of labels that I’m lugging around with me and depending upon who I am talking to or my mood of the moment, I reach in and slap another sticky label onto my blouse!<\/p>\n

Having labels is neither good nor bad. It just is. It\u2019s how we define and in this case, introduce ourselves.<\/p>\n

Further, none of us are just one label. We are all a number of color-coded sticky, \u201cHello My Name Is _________ \u201c and \u201cI am a ________ \u201c labels. We are mothers, wives, daughters, sisters (male counterparts if appropriate), teacher, dancer, writer, happy person, lover of cats, lover of dogs, etc. etc. etc.!<\/p>\n

And we are the labels that other people \u201cslap\u201d on us. My father used to call my mother lovingly, \u201cThe Chief Cook and Bottle Washer.\u201d Hey, it was back n\u2019 the day! (I\u2019d say, \u201cDaddy, what\u2019s for dinner?\u201d And he\u2019d say, \u201cHmmmm \u2026. Let\u2019s ask the \u201cChief Cook n\u2019 Bottle Washer.\u201d<\/em> J<\/p>\n

Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.” ~ <\/strong>Og Mandino<\/p>\n

Labels are powerful influences on our lives, yet at the same time, they can be extraordinarily limiting. Labels stick us in a category, slot or tight box where there\u2019s no room to move or grow or change.<\/p>\n

Are you aware of the numerous labels that you have adhered to your chest? Your blouse? Or maybe the one(s) someone else has added to you without your permission?<\/p>\n

Today is a good day to consider your labels. If they are not<\/em><\/strong> a good \u201cfit,\u201dthen get out your label maker and make yourself a new one!<\/p>\n

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” – Lao Tzu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let go of what you are. Become what you might be!
\nSometimes it’s just that simple!<\/p>\n
