201. How to Stop Trying to Control Everything
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Do you bristle when things do not go according to plan? In this episode, we explore how the habit of trying to control everything becomes one of the biggest time wasters and energy drains in your life. When you pour effort into things that are not fully under your control, you lose time, and you exhaust your mental, emotional, and physical resources.
Many of us do this without realizing it. Trying to manage other people's feelings, reactions, or interpretations drains our energy and leaves us feeling ineffective. I explore why the urge to overcontrol develops and what changes when you shift your attention to the small category of what is genuinely yours to manage, rather than the much larger category that is not.
