The world tries to tell us who are, who we should be, who we're not allowed to be. Every word someone uses to describe or identify us stays with us through our memories. The language we use in our thoughts speaks far louder than the voices of those who try to tear us down, and even louder still than those who try to build us up. We give those labels power over our emotions, and we tend to let our emotions rule our lives.
Part of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy involves disconnecting the emotional response to these words - the language of our thoughts. You are more than the thoughts in your mind, and the perceptions of others. You are a unique, talented, beautiful person with the power to observe, accept, and love your internal dialogue and physical form. I love this symbolic shedding of labels as a powerful experience crystalizing the concept of whole self.
