Episode 17: Fighting What You Can't Control Is Where Real Misery Comes From

from Experiments In Happiness · host Michelle Lemus

Most of our exhaustion isn’t from what’s happening. It’s from how hard we’re fighting it. In this episode, we unpack why resisting reality creates so much unnecessary suffering, how the need for control sneaks into our thoughts, relationships, and expectations, and what actually happens when you stop pushing against what is.This isn’t about giving up or “positive thinking.” It’s about reclaiming your energy, your peace, and your sense of agency by learning where control ends and freedom begins.If you’ve been feeling tense, frustrated, or stuck in your head lately… this episode might land exactly where you need it.🎧 One experiment at a time.
