Are you controlling yourself out of a happy life?
Control can show up in many different ways:
- People pleasing – winning people over gives you a special kind of sway with them
- Perfectionism – everything will be all right only if you're in total control of every detail (and get it just right)
- Domineering personality – we all know what this looks like!
- Withdraw and victim hood – ever use this to pull people your way?
No matter what tactic you use it all boils down to you having to be in the driver seat. Hyper-vigilant to every possible hazard on your path. And griping the steering wheel to control every nuance of direction.
But with this tight hold we cut out many of life’s unexpected pleasures – the off road-ing that can lead to a greater than planned destination and support along the journey.
Tune in to this week's episode to discover:
- Surprising a-ha’s on how control can show up in your life
- Awareness exercise to see how it may be hindering your life
- Perspective flip on how to give up your control tactics (my fav trick!)
- How to dynamically increase your receiving and “not in it alone” sense of support
