Control And Cleanse

Today I realized something very odd. Odd because it struck me as common sense and epiphany both.

I previously spoke about my uneasiness with uncertainty.

Today I have realised there are two categories of situations in life: One which I have some control over like exercising, eating healthy and two things I have no control over like ‘the economy’. And I can began making a mental check list of things that I can control, and things I can’t.

Somehow that gave me so much ease and energy. Most of my incessant thoughts have been about things I have absolutely no control over! And this has been taking up physical and mental space both.

But today I woke up looked around at the things I can fix, and I felt energised. Things I can’t control, I choose not to even think about them. Because of what use are they even for me?

I know it reads like total common sense. But what to do, sometimes in the madness of adulthood common sense goes missing, and returns to us like breakthroughs.
