Be less of a control freak

I feel like being in control of what’s going on in my life (and of those closest to me) will somehow give me a purpose in life. It will prepare me for “worst case scenarios”, and give people a reason to need me. However, i think it just annoys people and pushes them away. But I’ve been this way for so long. How do I learn to let go?

I know, I know…

I worry too much about things. It’s the ONE thing I take after my mother in, and I hate what it’s done to her over the years. It’s absolutely blindingly obvious when I have anything big planned (you shoulda seen me get married…Bridezilla with a capital B!), but I’m noticing it at other times and trying to keep a curb on it.

R-E-L-A-X.

DO NOT WORRY.

Life will unfold as it’s meant to.

(Most of the time my Zen side is not nearly strong enough. I think maybe I should take lessons from my cat.)
