Affirmation: I Release Feelings of Trying to Control Everything

I can go with the flow.

I accept that the only one I have control of is me! I cannot control actions, opinions, or thoughts of anyone else. But, I manage my reactions to all that life throws at me.

I release my desire to control situations. I refuse to let frustration cloud my mind. I concentrate on what I can do in any condition.

Although I cannot control everything, I am powerful. I possess tools that help me point my life in the direction of accomplishing goals in spite of life's distractions.

Time management skills help me maintain focus and organization. I set aside time in my schedule for dealing with distractions without losing focus on my priorities.

Affirmations are tools that help guide my life to where I want to go. No matter what life throws at me, I replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

Even during chaotic times, I can use breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and meditating on God's word to bring back harmony and peace to my soul.

I use an optimistic outlook in life to discover the silver lining in everything.

With those tools at my disposal, I know I can go with the flow, whatever that flow might bring! I do not need control over anyone but myself to appreciate life with all the blessings and challenges.

Today, I focus on controlling myself and discover how joyful life can be without any desire to control others.
