Stay In Control
Mentally

“I focus on what I can control
and
I let go of what I can’t”
A Good way
of working through this
is to think about
and write down
what you “CAN” Control.
Now do the same
with what you ‘can’t’ Control.
Which list is longer?
When something comes along
that we can’t seem to “Control”,
ask the question:
“Is it really that Important?”
Or,
“Is it really
out of my Control?”
It might just need a slight adjustment
in our Lives
or
even in our Minds.
We can’t Control
what other people do
but
we can Control
what we personally do and think.
It is very rare
that our Lives are completely
out of our Control.
When writing this,
I was reminded
of the millions of people
who were sent to the concentration camps
by the Nazis during the Second World War.
These people's Lives were changed,
and within hours,
out of their Control.
They had no Control
over what they wore,
ate
or did.
Their Futures were no longer in their hands.
Thankfully,
the War was won and thousands survived
these terrible camps,
to gain back Control of their Lives again.
Of course,
our ‘problems’ today are nowhere near ‘this’,
but they are still real to us.
Believe in what you can Control
and
Mentally You Are In Control.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
