Imagine youâre playing a game, and you have two options: to focus on things you can control or worry about things you canât control. Which one do you think will make you feel stronger and more in charge?
When you focus on what you can control, like your own actions, decisions, and efforts, itâs like having a superpower. You can choose to do things that make a difference in your life. For example, if you have a test coming up, you can study hard and be prepared. By doing that, you increase your chances of doing well.
On the other hand, there are things that you simply canât control. Like the weather, other peopleâs actions, or what will happen in the future. Itâs like trying to control the wind or make someone else do what you want. Itâs frustrating and often impossible.
So, when you let go of things you canât control, itâs like putting down a heavy backpack thatâs dragging you down. Instead of wasting your energy and getting upset about things you canât change, you can use that energy to focus on things you can control and make a positive impact in your own life.
Remember, focusing on what you can control gives you power and makes you feel strong. Letting go of what you canât control helps you feel lighter and more at peace. So, itâs important to ask yourself: âCan I control this?â If the answer is no, itâs better to let go and focus on what you can control.
Exercise: Make a list of things in your life that are stressing you out and categorize them into âI can controlâ and âI cannot controlâ. Reflect on whether you have been trying to change things that are out of your control and how that has affected you.
