[00:00:20] So join me on this adventure of self discovery and self love to another episode of Resilient Life The podcast where we explore the power of resilience. I'm your host Nikita Ross And today we're embarking on a journey to explore topic that is often overlooked
[00:00:47] But plays a significant role in our daily lives Most of us want to be happy and peaceful. We don't want to be angry or sad or hurt And then an effort to obtain and maintain happiness and peace with human beings
[00:01:02] Have a natural tendency to want to control things. We attempt to control our surroundings, our relationships, how other people behave and especially our futures So I ask you to think about who controls you Of course the first answer is I control me or I make control
[00:01:24] But have there been times when someone controlled you by controlling your emotions What I mean is as there ever been a time when someone made you feel like you wanted to Fuzz or cut a sub-screen or get angry. They made you feel hurt upset or embarrassed
[00:01:46] Who was it controlled in? I'm not judging you. I'm not blaming you. I'm not in second you. I have been there too The truth is that while we can't control what other people say and do we can control ourselves
[00:02:01] Our thoughts and our actions. I know this may sound obvious, but think back to a time when you are upset over what someone else said or did. Did you in that time remember that all you could control was how you felt Responded or thought? I often forget
[00:02:22] Stay with me because there are a few other things that we can control. So let's talk about them First and foremost we have control over our thoughts Our thoughts shape our perception of the world and influence our actions We can choose to have positive thoughts or negative ones
[00:02:46] We can choose to focus on the good in any situation or Do all on the bad When we have control over our thoughts, we have the power to create our reality Next we control over our actions. Our actions are reflection of our thoughts
[00:03:07] And we have the power to choose how we act in any given situation We can either react impulsively or respond thoughtfully We can choose to be kind and compassionate or we can choose to be selfish and hurtful
[00:03:26] Our actions have a ripple effect and by being mindful of them We can create a positive impact on ourselves and those around us Moreover, we have control over our attitude Life is unpredictable and we cannot control what happens to us
[00:03:46] But we can't control how we react and respond to it We have the power to choose our attitude towards any circumstance We can choose to be optimistic and see the silver lining or We can choose to be pessimistic and dwell on the negative
[00:04:05] Our attitude is crucial and determining how we navigate through life We also have control over our choices Every day we are faced with numerous choices and while we cannot control the options presented to us We have the power to choose the best one for ourselves
[00:04:29] We can choose how we spend our time Who we surround ourselves with and how we handle challenges Our choices shape our lives and well-being And by being aware of them we have the ability to create the life we want Lastly, we have control over our self-care
[00:04:51] Our physical, our mental and our emotional will-being It's all in our hands. We can choose to take care of ourselves by eating well By exercising and practicing self-care activities We can also choose to prioritize our mental health by seeking help when needed and practicing self-love and forgiveness
[00:05:17] When we take care of ourselves, we are better equipped to handle the things that are beyond our control And we have to remember that there are things that are beyond our control Things like the weather, other people's words and actions and unexpected events
[00:05:38] We cannot or at least try not to stress about these things and try not to let them consume us instead We must learn to Lego and focus on the things that we can control I still struggle with this on many, many days
[00:05:55] But here's some strategies to help us focus on what we can control Take a deep breath and remind ourselves that other people's actions don't define who we are I get used to see there words or actions as reflection of their behavior and not my worth
[00:06:16] If we find ourselves in a moment where emotions are running high or strong Sometimes it helps to take a step back and give ourselves some space This could mean walking away from the situation for a few minutes to gather our thoughts and to calm down
[00:06:38] Another one is pregnancy mindfulness and meditation It can be a powerful tool and regain control over our emotions and our reactions Additionally, it's important to communicate our feelings assertively but calmly Instead of reacting with anger we can express how the other person's words and actions
[00:07:02] Made us feel without Flaming or accusing them listen I struggle with that Another strategy is to focus on problem solving rather than dwelling on the negative emotions ask ourselves What can I do to feel better right now
[00:07:20] This can involve engaging in a hobby you love talking to a trusted friend or even writing down your feelings or thoughts Remember it's perfectly normal to fill a wide range of emotions
[00:07:36] But by practicing these strategies we can learn to manage them in a way that aligns with our true selves Taking control of how we feel thinking act is a journey But with each step we become more empowered to live a happier more peaceful life So resilience let's recap
[00:08:00] We have control over our thoughts our actions our attitudes our choices and our self care These are things that we can focus on and improve our lives with By doing so we can create a sense of control and consentment within ourselves
[00:08:18] I also want to point out that self control is the best most consistent control Let's use this knowledge to live our lives of the fullest and make the best of every situation If today's episode resonated with you remember to share with someone who could use a little boost
