Behaviour in relation to control

When you notice yourself trying to control something that you
can’t, ask yourself, What am I so afraid of? Do you worry someone
else is going to make a bad choice? Do you worry that something is
going to go terribly wrong? Are you terrified that you won’t be
successful? Acknowledging your fears, and developing an
understanding of them, will help you begin to recognize what is
within your control and what isn’t.

Once you’ve identified your fears, identify what you can control,
bearing in mind that sometimes the only thing you can control is
your behavior and attitude.
Even though you might not like the situation you’re in, you can
choose to accept it. You can accept that your boss is mean, that your
mother doesn’t approve of you, or that your kids aren’t striving to
be high achievers. That doesn’t mean you can’t work toward
influencing them by changing your behavior, but it does mean you
can stop trying to force them to be different.
