How do we remain in “Control”

A caller on my recent podcast asked; “How do we remain in control”? “How do we remain in control when so much happens beyond our control”?

I feel like this caller has been experiencing alot of fear and perhaps anxiety around the “unknown” or wanting answers to the future that are unclear, and this is very normal; we all want to feel stability, but the truth is we have little control over external circumstances. The only thing we really can control is our perceptions, beliefs and how we respond to what is happening around us.

True Stability is an inside job.

The best thing we can do when feeling out of control is to become as present as possible, notice where your feet are, your surroundings, lay down close your eyes and breathe; just feel your feelings, like really honor them and love into whatever comes up in that moment, (Tears are good by the way) I know this can be challenging, especially if we have an underlining fear of abandonment, which adds the layer of feeling very alone. If you are anything like me, you will need to rely on a trusted friend or mentor.

Small daily rituals that we depend on help too, because their is an element of what we can “control” Mine are; yoga, journaling, guided mediation, prayer, walking… really anything that you find comfort in and makes you feel good.

** I would love to support you in honoring and hearing more of what your feelings are trying to communicate to you**

To your health and beauty!
