What If You Understood Control Is a Myth? Part 2 of the What If Series Continued
Description
What if you understood that control is just a myth? I know so many of us, especially when we look at the news or our social media feeds, can feel a sense of complete overwhelm, like the world is totally out of control. And in response, we try to control what we can to feel safe and grounded. But what if that feeling of control is just an illusion?
In this episode of our "What If" series, I want to challenge your thought process on this. We can do things to have a better life, like drinking more water or taking more steps, but we don't actually control the entire outcome. Research on the locus of control and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows that while we can influence things, we must also accept what we cannot control and commit to our values-based actions.
I'll give you an assignment at the end of the episode that will help identify these areas of control and what to do with it. Thank you for listening, and I hope you have a beautiful week full of curiosity about your own areas of control.
