What is IN and OUT of Your Control?
A concept that is very simple and can help everyone in life is about what is in our control. We often waste precious time and mental energy worrying about things that we have no control over. Something that is more productive is to acknowledge what is not in our control and let it go. Things that are not in our control can be let go in a number of ways. You can write things down on paper and throw the paper away. You can pray about them and give them to God. You can visualize them in a balloon and imagine the balloon being released into the sky.
It is also helpful to make a list of things in a situation that you are in control of. Then, think about and write down specific things you can do to better your situation that are in your control. Then think of the very first step of things that you can do to help yourself. Just shifting your focus on what’s in our control and letting go it’s out of our control is life changing!
