Human beings crave certainty. We seek safety in the illusion of control, convincing ourselves that if we manage the variables, the outcome will follow. But over-communication leads to miscommunication. Over planning leads to perfectionism. Over effort leads to resentment. In this reflection on the illusion of control, explore how the need for certainty can disconnect us from authenticity and integrity. Through three powerful self-inquiry questions, you’ll learn how to recognize when you’re acting from fear instead of love, and how to create space in your body, thoughts, and expectations for acceptance and trust. Letting go of control is not giving up. It is reclaiming your true power.
