This week Tracy & Gracie talk about why we feel out of control, and how to take back control of absolutely anything you want in your life.

Life's experiences are made up of just 5 things:

1. Circumstances

2. Thoughts

3. Feelings

4. Behaviors

5. Results

Our thoughts create our feelings, our feelings drive our behaviors, and our behaviors create our results. We cannot control circumstances, but we can control how we think, feel, and behave in those circumstances.
