How long can you be a control freak?

So you may be a control freak, huh.

Come on, you know you might have a little of that in you at times. You want to be in control in your relationship and you want control of your life.

You want to control your body and weight.

You want to make all the decisions and to be right. Many times we would much rather be right than be happy.

So let me get to the point quickly for you.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude around what happens to you, your opinions, your beliefs and the habits you keep.

I can absolutely help you with this and I’m going to take you on a journey for the next 6-8 weeks… Hell, let’s be honest. I want to take you on a journey for years to help you (but that might be a bit controlling to assume you’ll be ready to commit to me that long right now)

One blog at a time. We’ll take this relationship together at the pace you need.

So…

You’ll be hearing from me as I unveil some life-changing stuff to you and you know what…?

The reason you need to listen to my words is because I used to be a major control freak.

Yeah, I was pretty bad.

And since then, I’ve looked into the eye of fear so many times. Over and over again.

It was almost as if life kept serving up more stuff on a platter for me to look at just so Icould learn this huge lesson and then be the person to teach it to you.

There were a lot of moments where I was like, “really…? this lesson again. are you kidding?”

Eventually I learned to look deeply at the source of the fear and I allowed myself to fall in the proverbial black hole of it.

When we control our symptoms include: interfering with other’s lives, mindless eating, sugar addiction and other addictions, gossiping about others, regular weight gain issues, social issues, stress, health issues and disease, unhealthy relationships, etc.

We so badly want to do everything right, don’t we.

We want it to go perfect and to have the exact plan and the formula for success.

Yes!

We want to have everything under control.

Damn it, I am going to make this happen the way I want it… watch me!

I have learned a few secrets that I will be sharing on the next two blogs about this… they have changed my life and my health forever.

I have learned to let go and surrender my control and I’m confident I can guide you on a path to do the same, provided you follow the steps.

The benefits can span from healed relationships to healed disease and sickness to weight loss.

Life is pretty funny (you have to laugh and breathe through the insane moments) when you “feel” like you have everything under control and that you are doing everything right and how it needs to be done.

Then…

Something crazy or chaotic happens in your life and you find yourself eating the entire freak’n chocolate bar and the entire back of chips…

You are trying so hard to regain that control back.

Instead what you learn is to master change versus allowing it to master you.

Instead you allow yourself to get pissed off for a moment when you see that you have absolutely zero control over any situation and that the damn chocolate bar and bag of salty chips didn’t really help anything at all.

(I know you think that the chocolate really does help… I’ll let you have that one for now)

Instead of trying to control, falling deeper into cravings, binging and living with despair when you lose your shit… there is another way.

I want you to know there are some really enormous things happening over here. Big things that I want to share with you. I promised a video this week and it’s not done yet and I would rather give you amazingness versus keep my deadline with the timing of it.

Yep, I had to let go of control (again).

Know this.

I’m a leader, not only through my example but because I sincerely care about You, humanity and transformation into what I like to call healthy consciousness.

Today, I leave this message and practice letting go of control.

ACTION #2: Make a mental note and put on your task list to read the blog for next week. I know you get lots of email so this way you’ll remember when you see mine come through.  It’s a really important one.

Let go!
