Ep #13: The Truth About Control

This week, I’m bringing you a new insight into another overthinker’s go-to modus operandi: control. When we’re not in control, we feel exposed and vulnerable. So it makes sense that we don’t risk giving our power away to other people and we want to have control over everything in our lives.

This mentality, much like the perfectionism we discussed last week, often comes from an unstable environment during childhood. A desire for control leads us to play safe as adults, often living a life of pain and isolation. However, I believe that control is actually an illusion, and when you can see this for yourself, a full and joyful life is waiting for you.

Tune in this week to discover how your desire to control is preventing you from experiencing growth and joy. I’m encouraging you to try one little thing that takes you out of your comfort zone, so you can see how letting go of the reins just a little can bring magic and liberation into your life instead of the angst and fear that comes with control.
