Men are notorious for controlling behavior and get a bad rap, especially in these times. The truth is, women can be just as controlling as men. In some circumstances, even more so.
We’re successful, driven women. We’ve been brought up in a culture where we’re valued on how we look and perform. Many of us tend to be perfectionists and expect things to be a certain way. We also are the ones keeping it all together, both at work and at home. So we tend to overdo for our kids, our husbands, partners and employees. We control our eating, our exercise, our future and the people closest to us. Perhaps it’s because we have a deep seated fear that we’ll implode if life doesn’t turn out exactly as planned.
I’m a recovering perfectionist so believe me, I get it.
Loosen your grip on the reins of your life and let your guard down. Why?
To bring more joy and spontaneity to your life. To not fear life will fall apart if you stop running on overdrive. To not fret over things that are out of your control – which btw, is most everything.
You are loved for who you are, not what you do. Trust you’ll get results without controlling everything and everyone. The people in your life will be grateful and you’ll have much more fun.
If I can do it, so can you. You got this.
