Listen "The Illusion of Control "
Episode Synopsis
All humans crave control in their lives, especially in volatile times. This week, Lisa and Brad explore just how little control we really have and discuss strategies for dealing with this uncertainty. Ever wondered why we constantly crave control, even when life continually proves how unpredictable it can be? Buckle up for a profound exploration into the 'illusion of control' that we're all subconsciously wired to believe. We dissect our deep-seated need for control, tracing it back to our ancestors who sought to control their environment, leading to the birth of various superstitions and religions. We dig deep into the paradox of control, discussing how our brains are designed to keep us safe but also how this can lead us to harbor false beliefs and create unnecessary stress in our lives.But hold on, it's not all doom and gloom! We're diving into the liberating idea of 'letting go of control', highlighting the importance of acknowledging what's within our control and what's not. We share how this simple yet profound realization can invite peace and calm into our lives. From the power of mindfulness and meditation to the value of owning our reactions to life's unpredictable twists and turns, we're dropping truth bombs galore. So, tune in, open your mind, and prepare for a journey towards personal growth, acceptance, and a new perspective on control. Your life might just depend on it!Support the show
