🧐 2. Focus on what you can control

Despite using affirmations and visualizations daily, my crippling self-doubt returned in tsunami waves whenever I faced a setback.

This was because I was deriving my self-worth from things I couldn’t control.

In general, you cannot control:

• The past
• Other people
• Event outcomes
• Birth circumstances

You can control:

• Your plans
• Your efforts
• Your response
• Your consistency
• Your mind and body

Focus on the second list.
