Is The Need For Control Negatively Affecting Me?

Amy Baumann-Advanced ThetaHealing Practioner

The struggle to have stability in your life is an indicator that there was a time in your life where you felt like you had very little of it.  The experience inadvertently causes you to seek a sense of control in your day to day life. When feeling a lack of control, we tend to “over-correct” situations.

They show up in the form of:

  • Worry
  • Anxiety
  • Overthinking
  • Overanalyzing
  • Doubting

By focusing on the “what if” scenarios it tends to “help” you feel prepared, as well as gives yourself a sense of security, safety and control. What if by doing those things, it actually impacts you negatively?

For example:

  • Worrying exerts a lot of time and energy trying to control things that are out of your control. Causing stress as well as time and energy you cannot get back.
  • Thinking of potential problems potentially opens the door to draw these situations to you.
  • Overanalyzing causes you to look for all possible angles to help you anticipate your needs.  If you are looking for it to happen, you are essentially manifesting it in your life.
  • Doubt causes you to lower your expectations to protect yourself from disappointment, unconsciously signaling to your subconscious what your preferred outcome is.

Your subconscious will do everything it can to help protect you based upon your unconscious beliefs and experiences. Feeling a lack of control or experiencing instability is linked to beliefs of feeling powerless. 

Close your eyes and ask yourself these questions:

  • Can you remember the first time you ever felt powerless in your life?
  • How far back does it show in your childhood?
  • Who is involved?
  • How did it make you feel?
  • How does this feeling hinder you in your current day to day life?

Releasing these emotions, unhealed pain, and learned beliefs from this situation…it will allow you to experience a new perspective, give you control of your future thoughts, display healthier reactions, and identify more choices in life. Giving you a physical, mental, and emotional transformation allowing your best version of yourself to shine through!
