I am in control of my thoughts, emotions, and actions
It's easy to feel like life is happening to you, rather than feeling like you have control over your own thoughts, emotions, and actions. But the truth is, you are in control. You have the power to choose how you react to situations, how you feel about them, and what actions you take as a result.
When you affirm to yourself "I am in control of my thoughts, emotions, and actions" you are reminding yourself of your own agency. You are reminding yourself that you have the ability to make choices, and that those choices can shape your life.
It's important to remember that being in control doesn't mean that you won't experience difficult emotions or challenging situations. Life is full of ups and downs, and it's natural to feel a range of emotions in response to different events. But when you affirm to yourself that you are in control, you are giving yourself permission to feel those emotions without letting them control you.
For example, if you receive criticism at work, you might feel hurt or defensive. But if you remind yourself that you are in control of your emotions, you can choose to take a step back and evaluate the criticism objectively. You can choose to respond in a way that is productive and constructive, rather than reacting impulsively out of hurt feelings.
Similarly, when you affirm that you are in control of your actions, you are reminding yourself that you have the power to make choices that align with your values and goals. You can choose to take actions that move you closer to your desired outcomes, rather than feeling like you are at the mercy of external circumstances.
