This has served me well, so worth a share. It's actually quite empowering to get clarity on what you do and don't control. It's your life. Live it your way!
This image is text. Title: The Five Guarantees. 1. I cannot control what other people choose to think. 2. I cannot control what other people choose to feel. 3. I cannot control what other people choose to do or how they choose to do it. 4. If I attempt to do any of the first three or any combination of the first three, I will feel inadequate, anxious, depressed, angry and out of control. 5. What I do have control over is: a. What I choose to think. b. What I choose to feel. c. What I choose to do and how I do it. d. How I choose to respond/react to what others directly express and do.
