Are you tired of feeling anxious and stressed about the future? Do you feel that the more you try

0:06.2

to control your life, the more out of control you actually feel? In this video, I'm going to show

0:12.4

you the negative side effects of trying to control your life. I'm going to show you the positive

0:17.8

benefits of letting go of control and how embracing uncertainty is the key to happiness,

0:25.4

presence, and actually feeling safe in this moment now. The first thing to understand about

0:33.2

letting go of control is why are we actually controlling anyways? Why do we want to control what's

1:52.8

energy like, you know, being in the body and releasing energy. There's something that came up for

1:58.4

me that made me realize why I have struggled in my life to let go of control. And this is going

2:04.9

to sound a little bit interesting, but it's going to wire in this understanding that we create

2:10.3

and we are addicted to the familiar. Now think of it like this, this is a box that is around our

ego. This is our ego, this is our body. We have this box around it. And we have within this box
