These are deemed as subjective, but individuality plays a major role in health and medicine and science is amazing for finding averages of people. This creates an external standard that we can hold ourselves to feel safe in optimizing how we approach mental disease and disorders. However, this can get in the way of knowing ourselves. Choosing the right times to trust our knowledge of self can be lifechanging. In this video, Dr. K and Devin Nash discuss external standards, internal standards, and why meditation can help remove some misdirection of external standards and averages. Ultimately, holding oneself to an internal standard comes down to knowing yourself.
