Many of us find ourselves in this delusional thinking that the outside world could give us satisfaction, if only things went our way. The truth? There is no external solution to internal pain, and it only brings you deeper into a victim mentality. This week’s episode 317 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about why controlling everything still doesn’t make you feel better!


In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing my insights about the dangerous illusion of external control and its impact on recovery and how, through internal healing and self-acceptance, we can find serenity. 


Identify one area where you're trying to control external circumstances. Instead, turn your focus inward and ask yourself, "What can I change about myself?" Remember, you can't control the world, but you can always control your response to it. 


Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
