Stop setting yourself up for failure by trying to control the uncontrollable. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in a 'rabbit hole' of worry because someone isn't responding the way you want, it’s time to face the truth you’ve been pretending not to know: the only person you can actually control is yourself.

Summary
In this fourth installment of the Motivational Monday series, Coach Katie Hindahl, NBC-HWC, DISC, from R3 Revitalize breaks down the root cause of much of our modern anxiety: the desire to assert our will over others and our environment.

Key Takeaways:

The Control Fallacy: We often logically know we can't control others, yet we still allow their actions or opinions to dictate our internal peace [00:45].

The Biblical Perspective: Referencing the Bible’s instruction to "do not worry," Coach Katie explores why it is so difficult to release the need for a "perfect world" where everyone gets our point [02:11].

Harnessing Your Brain: By shifting focus to gratitude and positive intent, you can trigger the "reticular activating system" in your brain to seek out more positive experiences, creating a snowball effect of better mental health [03:25].

The Four Non-Negotiables: To stay grounded when life feels chaotic, Coach Katie emphasizes focusing on four specific self-care principles: Nutrition, Movement, Stress Management, and Sleep [05:16].

Call to Action: What are you "pretending not to know" about your current stress and how can you redirect that energy into empowering yourself rather than trying to change others [04:42].
