Why Trying to Control Everything Is Making You Miserable

Mar 12, 2025

Do you often catch yourself trying to micromanage everything? Do you feel the urge to control everything just to feel safe? Does it stress you out when things don’t go the way you want? And now, let’s be honest: How does it make you feel when you reach the point where you realize that things didn’t go as expected? Or when you realize that you can’t control every step or reaction in life? Exactly, it sucks! So why do we do that? Why do we keep trying to control things, even when we know they’re out of our control? Where does this need come from? What are the benefits of being in control? And, most importantly, how can we learn to let go? How can we get back into our flow and find more peace and ease in our lives again? That’s exactly what I’ll be talking about in today’s episode! I’m opening up and sharing my experiences and struggles to show you how I’m dealing with it—and to remind you that it’s completely normal.
