EP738 - The Discipline of Focusing on What You Can Control

On this solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I go deeper into something that has completely changed how I move through the world. Learning to disconnect from outside noise and focus on what I actually have power over. We live in a time where we are constantly being pulled into things we cannot control. News cycles, social media outrage, other people's opinions, and problems that are way bigger than any one person. And yet we give them our energy every single day. In this episode, I talk about the idea of powerlessness and how much freedom comes when you stop fighting what you cannot change. I share how the Serenity Prayer has had a profound impact on my life and how it continues to guide my decision making, my emotional state, and how I show up as a father, coach, and human. We talk about why trying to control everything is one of the fastest ways to feel anxious, angry, and burnt out. And why real peace comes from putting your attention back on the few things that are actually in your control. Your effort Your consistency Your actions Your behaviors Your integrity This episode is an invitation to stop carrying weight that was never yours to hold and to start building your life around what you can influence. Because when you stop wasting energy on what you cannot change, life starts working with you instead of against you. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected, this one is for you. Listen in and decide what you are finally ready to release.   Join our GLP Webinar on February 3, 2026 - Register Here   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition
