Ep 105: What Can You Actually Control?

Listen Later

We are generally conditioned by society to focus on outcomes, achievements, winning, etc. A major issue with this mindset is how we show up along the way to the finish line and, of course, when we “fail”. Hyper-focus on the outcome tends to create hyper-focus on controlling everyone and everything imaginable along the way. This can cause many problems including stress, misunderstanding, judgment, disappointment, and resentment. In this episode, we discuss the ego’s controlling tendency and the delicate balance between control and faith.




  • Trying to control an outcome
  • What do I realistically have control of?
  • Criticizing others as an avoidance strategy
  • Subconscious motives underlying control
  • Control and faith
  • Life is a faith game
  • Our controlling nature leads to stress and judgment
  • Short-term wins with the kids
  • Trying to control others affects your mood
  • Improving communication and understanding others
  • Being aware of what serves you and how you want to show up
