There are times in our life when it feels like everything is out of control. And when that happens, for most of us, the natural reaction is to kick into high gear by trying to exercise some control. 

The problem is, we frequently try to control or change the situation or a person. And the truth is, we can't control other people and we can't control everything that happens to us.

So on today's episode, we're talking about how to connect to the things that trigger us and most importantly, what to do about it. So we discuss what the optimal response is to feeling out of control. And that is to focus not on what's happening, but to focus on yourself. 

How you respond. What you think. What you do in those situations where you feel life is a little out of control.

This is the key to moving past overwhelm, uncertainty and anxiety no matter what is happening. So you can feel empowered and at your best.

It might sound impossible.  But I can promise that no matter what is going on around you, you always have a point of power. And that is about controlling your responses to what's going on and being very purposeful in what you choose to put out into the world around you.

Bottom line: Control yourself and you control your world.
