Post 60: I've Lost Control of My Life!

November 22, 20221 min read

I can’t stop my feelings. I can’t stop my thoughts. No matter what I do, both will continue for as long as I am alive.

What I can do though is notice if my thoughts and feelings are based on reality.

I keep feeling terrible because I believe my boss is out to get me. I can talk to my boss about what actions she is or is not taking that are making me feel this way. Maybe her interpretation of the situation is entirely different than mine. We come to a better understanding of how to communicate. Bad feelings go away.

I am concerned that my child will hate me if I enforce a rule I think will make her life better. I can sit down and have a conversation with her about what I am thinking and why. We can work on it together. I can treat her like a person I respect, and she is likely to return the favor.

Or I can change nothing, not have real conversations with anyone (including myself), and feel like I have no control over my life for the rest of it.
