It’s difficult to be out of control.   Not that we have all that much control anyway, but when we are faced with the unknown, especially during world and life-changing events, we want to believe we can control something.

And that’s the good news,  we can —  our thoughts, our attitudes, our actions.  All within our control and under our power to orchestrate.   There’s beauty and satisfaction in taking charge of what is within our sphere to handle.  I’ve started reminding myself to take a deep breath when I get caught up in ‘what if’ thinking and then say aloud — I let go and trust I’m in good Hands.  I then try to go about my daily life and do my best to let it flow — and some days seem a little easier than others, and that’s okay.

There’s comfort and assurance in knowing the world is spinning perfectly on its axis in timing orchestrated outside our ordinary mathematical ability to calculate.  And that’s the calming wave that will wash over you when you realize that you’re only required to do your part, and that you don’t have to carry the world on your shoulders!

Get out your journal and a pen and jot down 3 things you are grateful for, 3 things you know you can control and 3 things you’re choosing to let go and give up worrying about.

Any active part we take in choosing our day will bring great rewards.  Peace of mind will come.  Maybe in just little snippets at first, but then it will grow steadily into a protective covering over our mind.
