Into The Wild

338. The Illusion of Control and Letting Go of Predictability


Listen Later

When was the last time you felt completely in control in your life or business?

We often find ourselves chasing control, but here’s the thing: it’s a mirage. The minute we become okay with letting go and not knowing what’s next is the minute you reach your next level.

Our brains are wired to seek what’s familiar. Being in your comfort zone keeps your brain from working overtime on decision making. But it might be time for you to reflect on whether or not the predictable aspects of your life are actually serving you. This episode is loaded with tips to break free from patterns of predictability and how it can skyrocket your growth.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • How a loss of control can feel frustrating and lead to anxiety.
  • Where the need for control comes from and why it’s an illusion.
  • What happens when we hold on to trying to make life predictable.
  • How the prediction versus control trap makes you unhelpfully rigid.
  • How your comfort zone reinforces itself, and what it takes to break free.
  • What happens when you ditch the predictable patterns that don’t serve you.
  • How the scary moments in life can end up being the most rewarding.
  • When it’s time to shake things up and allow your transformation to come.
  • Signs that your decisions are being made from fear of the unknown.
