Give Up Control

When you focus on what’s wrong with the world, without looking at how you can control your attitude and behavior, you’ll find yourself stuck. Instead of wasting energy trying to prevent a storm, focus on how you can prepare for it.

Here’s what you can do to give up control and be more powerful in the process:

• Delegating tasks and responsibilities to other people
• Asking for help when you need it
• Focusing on solving problems that are within your control
• Keeping the emphasis on influencing others rather than controlling them
• Thinking balanced thoughts about what is within your control and what isn’t
