I let go of my tendency to try to be in control of everything.
What a relief it is!
No longer do I have to be responsible for everything.
It is much easier to focus on what I can control, instead of worrying about the things I cannot control anyway!
What can I control?
I can control my own thoughts and actions.
I can control how I react to events.
And I can control my expectations.
When I focus on what I can control, I find that I become more effective.
Instead of fretting over a challenge, I seek solutions and take action on my decisions.
Instead of worrying about what others will think, I live true to my own morals, ethics, and beliefs.
In being true to myself, I strengthen my self-esteem.
Rather than bemoan a situation, I take whatever action I can to make things better.
Taking decisive action reduces my stress about the situation and gives me hope for a better day ahead.
I accept that I cannot control the actions of others and I prefer it that way.
Truly, how complicated life would be if I had the responsibility of controlling and directing everyone!
Simply letting go of the need to control takes the weight of the world off my shoulders.
Today, I plan to accept whatever the day brings, do what I can where I can, and let the rest go!
How can taking decisive action reduce your stress about a current challenge?
