Things You Can Control

by tianiangelahibbert

Remember when I posted about the Things You Can’t Control and the added stresses of life? Today I wanted to brighten it up and talk about some of the things you actually can control. I found that raising my self awareness and being more kind to myself has brought out an optimistic and resilient woman.

Your attitude – You’re in charge of what type of vibe/energy you put out into the world. Only you have control of your attitude. It’s up to you whether you’ll bring positivity or negativity to the table. I used to let little things affect my mood which would cause me to have a nasty attitude. Let’s be real having an attitude all the time just isn’t cute anymore.

Who you have in your life – You don’t need anyone in your life that doesn’t bring you joy. Don’t be afraid to protect your well-being. That doesn’t mean going through your contact list and texting a few people the middle finger emoji.  Just be mindful of who you’re spending a majority of your time with. You are allowed to say no.

How you treat your body – Being kind to your body is essential. What you put into it matters. Fill your body with lots of love, nutrients, and exercise. I should exercise more but I’d like to think that running after my soon to be toddler is all the exercise I need for now. Not only is this good for the mind but also just good health in general.

How you think – Being in control of this is definitely better than you think. The best part about being in control of how you think is the ability to stop and reevaluate. What I mean by that is you can choose (for the most part) to dwell on a situation or find ways to get passed it. I will literally ask myself if the situation is worth getting upset over. A while ago I dropped an egg by accident and it splat all over the kitchen floor. Before I could react in an angry why I stopped and thought to myself, “girl it’s literally just an egg…there are worst things happening.” I make myself proud in those situations. Ha!

How you treat others – Be the change you want to see in this world. You can make all the difference in just 1 person’s day just by throwing a smile their way or just waving hi. I like to think that I am raising my son in a world were kindness still exists.

Are you in control of these things? What are some other things you can control? Has doing so made a change in your life? Make sure to let me know in the comments below.

  3. It is so important to remember the things that we can control and I totally agree with all the points you mentioned on this post! I think your attitude and how you think are really important because they can really change your life. Like you said no one wants to be around someone who has a bad attitude all the time and when you have a bad attitude you attract similar people. It’s also important to stay positive and not let small things get you down otherwise you’re just going to feel awful all the time.

  11. The fact that you can control your attitude may not seem like much, but recently I changed my perspective on life, and it’s completely turned everything upside down. By simply taking better care of my body, working hard, and having faith, I managed to vastly improve and to lift myself out of the dark pit of despair that I was in. I’d never realised just how much control that I could have over my own life.

  13. I love that you mentioned you’d never realized how much control. Isn’t it so crazy once you realize? Such a huge difference. I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Thanks so much for reading and sharing!
