You’re motivated. Most days anyway.
You're juggling a demanding career and a demanding kid.
That ambitious drive and that internal fire you for all of the people and things you love and want isn't is burning - maybe to the point of you burning out.
Let’s be honest: the pressure to have it all and be everything for everyone else can feel overwhelming.
Maybe you’re constantly striving for perfection, micromanaging every detail, and worrying about the inevitable bumps in the road...
Whatever it is, it's making you anxious, exhausted, and resentful instead of excited about what's right in front of you.
Sound familiar?
So many ambitious women feel the need to control every aspect of their lives.
They feel anxious and believe letting go of control is giving up or even dangerous.
It's the opposite thought. Letting go of control isn't just the key to success and happiness, but it's sometimes the only way to feel calm, and confident, and still find the success you're working so hard to have.
The truth is, trying to control everything from your boss to your teenager to the economy is exhausting, counterproductive, and absolutely impossible.
Not only are you going to be stressed out and anxious, you're also missing out on all of the incredible things that are right in front of you, going your way, without you doing a thing.
It’s time to let go.
I know, easier said than done, right?
But what if I told you that letting go doesn’t mean giving up? Letting go is about recognizing your limitations, getting comfortable and curious with uncertainty, and finding peace in the present moment.
It’s about thriving where you are without freaking out.
Letting Go Of Control: Where to Start
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. Acknowledge Your Limitations
You are not God. You can’t control everything, and that’s okay. Accepting this is the first step to finding peace and balance. (And honestly, have you seen Bruce Almighty? Do you really want to be in charge of everything?)
2. Focus on What You Can Control
Instead of getting caught up in what’s out of your hands, shift your focus and energy to the things you can influence. I've been reading The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins and I can't stress enough how much this one simple shift changed me instantly. It's wild!
3. Practice Mindfulness
Techniques like looking around and using all five of your senses and deep breathing with long exhales can help reduce stress and keep anxiety from sabotaging your day.
4. Connect with Something Bigger Than Yourself
Whether it’s nature, spirituality, or a supportive community, connecting with something beyond your own concerns can provide perspective and a sense of peace.
I had an amazing conversation with Dr. John Page on this week's episode of More Than Anxiety: Ep 125 - Balancing Faith and Science to Ease Anxiety with Dr. John Page. He and I discussed the ins and outs of science, faith, and letting go whether you're religious, spiritual, or still trying to figure it all out. If you're anxious, overwhelmed, and looking for something to help you let go, this episode is a must-list!
