When you're controlling other people, you're investing all your energy into something you have no control over. So, hmm, what a big waste when you could be taking that energy and controlling yourself, controlling how you might respond to something that might be challenging instead of trying to control somebody so that challenging thing doesn't happen. See, I can't control what another person does.
Ever thought you had control over others, only to realize it was just an illusion? In this episode of 'Giving Voice to Recovery', Elizabeth takes us on a personal journey through her song 'Surrender to Win'. She candidly shares how her belief in controlling others was a coping mechanism that ultimately held her back.
