It’s All About Control

I saw a neat meme the other day on FB and thought it had some very good points to focus on for your life. It was about what you CAN and CANNOT control. We are so bombarded by things in this world. It’s a good idea to set boundaries.

 

Things I CAN control:

My – attitude    

          actions

          thoughts

          words

          boundaries

          efforts

          choices

 

How I –   spend my time

                treat myself

                treat others

 

Who I choose to spend my time with

 

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

 

Things I CANNOT control:

The past

The future

Other people’s mistakes

What other people do/say

How others react

What other people think/feel

Other people’s happiness

World problems

 

I’m sure there are other things that can go on both these list. This is just a starting point.

Here are some of my PERSONAL control efforts, along with the ones above.

 

I have a strong faith base that I cling to daily.

Spending time in nature. Just sitting and enjoying God’s creation.

Trying to put more positives in my brain than negatives. It’s SO easy to fall into the negative abyss on social media and the news. Take breaks from that. I have tons of positive/funny Instagram pages and sites on the Internet that I love looking at.

Crafting.

I wish I could say “eating healthy” is on the list, but let’s face it…I’m a junk food junkie…

And that being said…STAY OFF THE BATHROOM SCALE!!!
