Episode 262: Control Issues

In an attempt to keep us safe and happy, our brain spends a remarkable amout of energy in places where it has no control. For example, we can only make choices in the present moment, but have you noticed how often your brain time-travels into the future or back to the past trying to change or control things that it can't? Or maybe you've noticed how much time your brain spends thinking and worrying about the thoughts and feelings and opinions of other people? Again, this is a place where we don't have any control because we don't get to make other people's choices, including how they choose to feel about us. On today's podcast, I want to bring your awareness to how much energy you are spending trying to control the uncontrollable and remind you that your most powerful place is the place where you have the ability to make choices. I'll share a powerful visualization tool that will help you refocus your energy and your agency to control the things you can and let go of all the things you can't.
