In Control and Out Control List
The best way for us to reduce our stress is to write down what stresses us? We can split our stress into two categories.
Out Control:
The weather, politics, news, gossip, worrying, people’s opinions, our friends and relatives talk shit about us are OUT of our control. We cannot control those things. What should we do about it? Let it go. They are not YOUR problem.
In Control:
List stress that we CAN fix or improve. What did we think and talk about, it affects our mind! What kind of food and drink do we feed into our bodies? How we react to any situation, how we handle our kids’ misbehavior is what we CAN improve and change how we approach our stressors.
