Get my fun emails: https://www.veganosaurus.com/newsletterWe get soooo attached to things, people, situations, outcomes…we believe they’re the *most* important thing in our life.

Remembering this secret helps us flow through life with ease and curiosity.

This episode of The Feel Good Factor is all about Control vs Power. It never occurred to me to think of them as two separate things. Then I read Katherine Morgan Schafler’s book and my jaw dropped. Wow! It explained so much about why certain things in my business past have worked and why other things were a frustrating mess.

I've recently started a habit. Whenever I'm reading a book, if something really pops out at me, I neatly transcribe it into a notebook. Physically writing things down, pen to paper, is such a different experience from copy/pasting an excerpt into your notes app, or highlighting a snippet in your ebook reader.
It's been doing some interesting things to my brain, so I had to share my experience with you on this episode, and tell you why you might like to start this habit too.

Knowing our natural tendencies, capacities and limitations, accepting them, and making decisions in alignment with them goes a long way to make life smooth and pleasant. Some challenges in life deserve to be taken on, but most challenges are totally unnecessary and so not worth the effort and attention we give them.

Understanding our nature and moulding our daily schedules in alignment with it does wonders! Try it.
