Mastering Control: Empower Your Mental Health and Resilience
Life's uncertainties can often leave us feeling anxious and overwhelmed. At The Mindset Objective, we understand the importance of gaining a sense of control over our worries. Our virtual sessions are designed to help you build resilience, boost confidence, and develop essential skills for empowerment. Let’s explore how understanding control can transform your mental health and daily life.
The Nature of Control
We all have varying degrees of tolerance for control in our lives. Some of us thrive on unpredictability, while others need a stable sense of control to feel secure. This desire is a fundamental human trait—we seek control over our environment to ensure our safety, stability, and well-being. Knowing where our next meal comes from, having a stable income, and ensuring our families are safe are all aspects where control plays a crucial role.
The Dangers of Over-Control
Striving for control in every area of our lives can lead to mental strain and anxiety. When we attempt to control the uncontrollable, we can become passive-aggressive, sarcastic, or even self-sabotaging. This behaviour stems from fear and can harm our relationships and mental health. Remember the chaos during the pandemic when people fought over basic necessities? This fear-induced behaviour was a response to the loss of control over our lives.
Recognising When Control Matters
To maintain our mental well-being, it's crucial to distinguish between what we can and cannot control. Our upcoming workshops focus on tools and strategies to help you analyse your worries and identify areas where you can exercise control. This awareness can alleviate the feeling of learned helplessness, where we convince ourselves that we have no influence over our situation.
Practical Steps to Regain Control
Take my personal worry about climate change, for example. Feeling helpless won't help; instead, I can make sustainable choices that align with my values. This proactive approach eases my worries and empowers me. Small actions, when accumulated, can lead to significant positive changes. By focusing on what you can influence, even in small ways, you align your actions with your values, leading to greater peace of mind.
Letting Go of What We Can't Control
Those sleepless nights spent worrying about the uncontrollable are draining. As the Disney ice queen sings, sometimes we just need to "let it go." Easier said than done, right? But by concentrating our energy on things we can control, we become more constructive and less burdened by the things we can't change.
