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.
