Imagine you're playing a game, and you have two options: to focus on things you can control or worry about things you can't control. Which one do you think will make you feel stronger and more in charge? When you focus on what you can control, like your own actions, decisions, and efforts, it's like having a superpower. You can choose to do things that make a difference in your life. For example, if you have a test coming up, you can study hard and be prepared. By doing that, you increase your chances of doing well. On the other hand, there are things that you simply can't control. Like the weather, other people's actions, or what will happen in the future. It's like trying to control the wind or make someone else do what you want. It's frustrating and often impossible. So, when you let go of things you can't control, it's like putting down a heavy backpack that's dragging you down. Instead of wasting your energy and getting upset about things you can't change, you can use that energy to focus on things you can control and make a positive impact in your own life. Remember, focusing on what you can control gives you power and makes you feel strong. Letting go of what you can't control helps you feel lighter and more at peace. So, it's important to ask yourself: "Can I control this?" If the answer is no, it's better to let go and focus on what you can control. Exercise: Make a list of things in your life that are stressing you out and categorize them into ‘I can control’ and ‘I cannot control’. Reflect on whether you have been trying to change things that are out of your control and how that has affected you. - thank you for creating this powerful infographic Take care of your mind and body.
