Take Control of Your Life
ARE YOU RUNNING your life or is your life running you? Do you increasingly feel at the mercy of inner and outer conflicts that you believe are beyond your understanding or control? Whether you are aware of it or not, the various pressures imposed by your home and work environments take a daily toll on your physical and emotional well-being. When these are accompanied by low self-esteem, avoiding difficulties, or denial that there are any problems, the consequences can be very damaging to your relationships, to work, and, most importantly, to yourself. Your distress or discomfort may not just manifest itself in feelings of victimization and powerlessness - however-unwanted habits and addictions are also a strong signal to yourself and others that all is not well.
Taking control of your life means deciding that you are going to be the "driver" and not simply a "passenger," and taking full responsibility for the direction your life takes, reprogramming your attitudes positively.
