  • Episode 85: Living Life or Living from Stories

    On episode 85 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill asks the question, "Am I living life or being lived by the stories in life?" This question should be asked daily when dealing with events taking place in life. John has found that an event takes place, then there's an interpretation/story/meaning given to that event and then finally the person lives their life from the meaning they gave to the event. Living life this way gives rise to not truly living life but being lived from the stories. These stories can and usually are false but we don't know that until we look into them. John has become tired of living his life from the perspective/stories/meanings he gave himself when he was in 7th grade. And he is having a "Midlife Realization" that life doesn't need to continue on this way.

    Basically the things that happen in life don't mean anything, they're just events taking place. It's when meaning is given to the event that they impact a person.

  • Episode 82: Button Pusher

    On episode 82 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill shared how just when he thought he was mature, at 44, his button pusher showed up, sending him back to his 12 year old self. It's hard to see the lessons the button pusher show us when it's happening. The important part however is not what they say but rather how it effects you and why are you effected by it. John gives examples from his life, and within the past week, where situations came up and he reacted. What John discovered was how important it was to look at the thoughts that had arisen and questioned them. By not giving in to the power of reaction, through questioning and observing, he saw that the reaction had less power over him.

  • Episode 79: Changing the mentality of "How do I get rid of muscular dystrophy" to "How do I live with it"
    On episode 79 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill shares how he went from a "get rid of this disease" mentality to "How do I live with this." It wasn't easy at first questioning his beliefs/thoughts but once he saw them for what they were, self-limiting, he set out to dismantle their power over him.

  • Episode 78: Getting Covid and having Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy

    On episode 78 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill shares his experience with Covid. He breaks down the first week of his symptoms. After a week John was starting to feel like his old self. One important part for John was to take care of his immune system by taking Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Zine, Quercitin, NAC. After a few days of taking these supplements John felt better. Now, could the supplements have helped him faster? It's hard to say whether they did or if it was something else. In any case, taking care of your body before/and especially when your sick is important. This was merely John's experience with Covid and it may not be yours.
