186 Want to Feel More in Control in Your Life? Here’s the Surprising Truth

Join me over in the brand new, totally FREE Patreon group - especially for podcast listeners - www.patreon.com/busywomansguide

We’d all love to feel more in control right - to be able to deal with all the day to day stuff that life throws at us, to be totally organised and to have the time to look after ourselves as well. And in that mythical land where we are the ones in control, everything suddenly feels easy, we can finally be exactly who we want to be, and we can have the life that we crave.

Except what if all of this effort we’re putting into having control is actually having the opposite effect - making us feel more anxious and keeping us awake at 3 in the morning as we try to figure out how to keep it all together and manage life to the very best of our ability. 

Well today we’re going in. We’re talking about what we think we’re going to achieve and feel in our lives by having more control - and we’re maybe going to busy a myth or two around that which will have you thinking very differently by the end of this episode.

Takeaways include:

-What really happens when we try and exert more control in our lives

-The dangers of super high personal expectations and all of those “should” 

-What happens when you finally let go of people pleasing
