Letting Go of Control

When we control, we want to be sure that something is going to happen a certain way; we want and need to know the outcome - Genny Rumancik

Feeling safe is important to all of us, whether we are on the streets, in a community, in a job, in a relationship, we want to feel safe, we want to be in situations where we trust the process.

When there is no feelings of trust and safety, we move towards control. As with everything when there is no balance everything falls down.

There are so many times that we are safe, we must trust yet we fight for control

There are times when we are in situations where the only thing that we can control is our response to it. Yet we persevere in wanting to control everything about a situation.

I have learnt that having an idea of what is actually in my control supports a less stressful existence, letting go of the illusion of control supports being in the moment, learning new ways of being and trusting Self. I have also learnt that it takes practice to let go of control.

Start small and continue as you go

Trust that no matter what happens that you will be able to handle it

Write down what you can actually control

Be present

Keep an attitude of gratitude

Peace and Blessings
