We allow it to consume us and wrap up all of our thinking and energy. When you realize that you are dealing with a life uncertainty, realize that you are going to be at war with it within your own mind. Typically, the mind becomes consumed with playing out all of the possible negative scenarios regarding the situation. This only makes you feel worse and more paralyzed and fearful of the future. Rather, realize that you do need to take control of your own thinking.
Most people don t realize that they actually can choose what to think about.
Making conscious choices on what to think about can greatly impact how we feel and what it is that we can do. Focus on What is In Your Control. Well, it can be very helpful to draw a circle on a piece of paper. Then within the circle, write all of the things that are within your control. Take some time to consider where your mind tends to roam.
