“Control What you Can control not what you can’t “. By Me

Its a hard truth of life that there are circumstances in our life which are very out of control. If you don’t believe in this truth, you can land up as a control freak( One who thinks can control it all) or a worry wart (one who thinks the end of everything is a disaster). Once in a while, we should take an account of our In control & Not in control of our lives.

If something is in your control give it your pure energy, honest effort and see how your efficiency will rise up. For example, Your health is in your control, make good choices when it comes to your diet, regular workout, Meditation, deep breathing & keeping your stress levels down. Organizing your life. Having a work-life balance. Your finances etc

If something is not in our control, try to be a great influence, For example, you can’t make your kid an excellent student but you can give her a healthy environment of learning and growth at home to excel out in the world. another example could be, you want to see some changes in your spouse, start from yourself, be selfless, respectful and he/she will come around. Don’t try to fix people around, advice them once and let them make their choices in life.

Don’t be a problem thinker be a solution thinker. Once you have assessed the problem, don’t go into the loop of repeating it in your head, rather put your energy on the possible solutions.

When you are in a situation where its all out of control, try using positive affirmations to get thru it. Something like, I can Handle it. I am stronger than I think. I am bigger than my problems.

Simple exercise could be to make a list of your In control and out of control in life and be crystal clear on where you can make difference? Your attitude plays an important role on how you react to both.

Mantra’s can be for In Control of life- I will give my Best. Out of control of life- I can handle it.
