How many times a day do you talk to yourself? What do you tell yourself? Is it positive, negative doubts? Self-talk is the key to ensuring you can become your best self.

I have been hearing from friends and co-workers as of late that they feel like everything around them is spinning out of control and they are lost at times. I believe a lot of that happens to be centered around where they are putting their focus. When we sit and talk more it comes to light that most of their energy is being spent on things that they have no ability to control. Of course, we will feel lost and down when we can't make things change, the key to getting out of this mindset and focus is to turn our intentions into what we can control. Let's talk today about how to know what we can and can't control and how to ensure we put our energy and time into what we can.
