Years ago we have an event called Beautiful Wholeness where we did an exercise called, "Lies and Labels." During this time we would have all the women attending write down on a notecard all the negative head trash that they deal with on a daily basis. They would drop those cards in a basket at the front of the room and Mandy and I would start writing down what was on the cards on huge whiteboards while soft music played.
The lies and label we would see including things like "Stupid," "Worthless," "B*tch", "Bad Mom", "Fat," "Ugly," This exercise was meant to not only to acknowledge it to yourself, but also what every other woman in the room also thought about herself, on repeat. There were usually 5-7 common ones we would see no matter how many people where in the room or how old they were. The commonality of lies and labels was powerful.
Mandy and I would write our labels on a white t-shirt, talk about where those lies came from, and then cut them off and put on a new shirt that had Truth statements® on them. It was dramatic and cathartic in the best way. And, while we don't do that event anymore, we knew we had to put the Lies and Labels exercise into the AUTHENTIC module of the RAYMA Foundations™ Leadership Trainings. We knew it was an important exercise for every one of our clients (and future coaches!) to go through and figure out.
If you want to become a more authentic person and leader you need to know the lies and labels that are sabotaging you and tripping you up. The irony is that the AUTHENTIC training is the one most people avoid. And I get it. The idea of dealing with your own 'ish is scary. Who knows what dwells in the dark corners of your brain constantly reminding you of past hurts and trauma?
You do. That's why you tend to avoid shining a light and cleaning out those corners. And it's why we include training like Lies and Labels in our curriculum. To give you a guide for tackling those dark corners no one wants to talk about.
Working on Lies and Labels with my private coaching clients is one of my favorite things to do. When I can help my client build their belief in themselves, grow their confidence in their skills and abilities, and overcome the lies and labels to create a healthier mindset, it's the best!
