The comfort and cost of trying to stay in control

The comfort and cost of trying to stay in control

Control is one of those words that can invoke quite a strongreaction – neither ‘control freak’ nor being ‘out of control’ have especially positive connotations to them do they?

But we actually can benefit from accepting some of our lackof control, which we explore in this week’s episode. Our wish to have control often stems from a desire for safety and trying to manage uncertainty (completely understandable!), but there are downsides to trying to keep too much control.

Stay tuned for next week’s coaching bitesize episode when we explore the spheres of control to help you determine what exactly is – and isn’t – within your control.

Today’s question for you to mull over:

‘Is there something you are trying to control in yourlife in order to feel safe that perhaps you can’t (totally)?’
