Day 19: Focusing on What You Can Control

My strong is focusing on things I can
control. 


Welcome to Day 19 of our “me-first” journey!
Yesterday, we chatted about overcoming fear, and today, we’re
exploring a closely related challenge—focusing on things you can
control. This discussion is vital as we continue to evolve away
from old, restrictive habits and toward a life where we handle
uncertainties with grace and ease. Focusing on what you can
control  is crucial to avoiding regression into old habits
that no longer serve us.


Change is challenging, especially when it surfaces fears about
the unknown. But here’s the thing—we might not be able to control
every aspect of our lives, but we can certainly control our
responses. Today, we’ll explore practical strategies for doing
just that. We’re not just talking about surviving amidst chaos
but thriving by recognizing the areas of our lives where we have
true agency and making intentional choices there.


Today, it’s all about learning to chill and let things
flow a little. As we move away from our
hyper-independent habits, we’re making room for living in a way
that’s not just about surviving, but thriving. We’re talking
about moving from trying to control everything to just letting go
and letting life happen.

Join our Upcoming “Un-caped” Workshop:
  If today’s conversation about control and
managing it resonates with you, then you won’t want to miss our
monthly “Un-caped” workshop. We’ll dive even deeper into topics
like this. It all happens on the last Tuesday of the month. The
next one is July 30th, and I’d love to see you there. This is
your chance to connect with others who are on the same journey
and to really reinforce your commitment to a “me-first” life.


Looking Ahead: Tomorrow, we’ll explore another
important aspect of living a “me-first” life – Knowing when to
walk away. Stay tuned to continue this transformative journey
