Let's be honest with each other first thing today: we like to be in control. We like to have control. We like to have things under control.
We are kinda control freaks.
I want to talk about something *really* subtle re: control today so that we don't wind up thinking we have control where we do NOT have control and then find ourselves in a trap of trying to exert control over the outside world thinking, "wait, I've done this before and it worked" when it most decidedly did NOT and does NOT work.
When things go according to plan, it doesn't have that much to do with us.
When things fall apart, it doesn't have that much to do with us.
Control is an inside job...the things we have the MOST control over are our thoughts, our feelings, and our words + actions.
It sometimes LOOKS like we have control where we don't. And if we fall for that little trick, we wind up spinning our wheels in an effort to stay in control...when we our just pouring our energy into the wrong spot.
Let's talk about it. Today on The Transforming Anxiety it's episode #258, Predictability vs. Control. I'll see you there...
