Losing Control, Finding Serenity Quotes

“try:       •   “Today I will not resist or persist.”       •   “Today I will accept others for who they are.”       •   “Patience is a virtue.”       •   “Today I will just observe and listen.”       •   “Today I will trust that everything will work out well.”       •   “Today I will accept things as they are.”       •   “Today I will be aware of the beauty all around me.” I recommend affirmations that personally speak to you. These will allow you to start your day more serenely. If you encounter difficult moments during the day, repeat your affirmations to get you back on track. VERBAL DECONTROL CUES Short verbal cues are another effective way of relinquishing control. When you are faced with an issue and feel as if you are at an impasse, try saying “Release it,” “Let it go,” or “Just surrender to it.” Use cues that personally speak to you. These simple reminders quickly cut through the control urge by changing your focus and intensity. Later, when you revisit the issue, you may find that circumstances have changed.”
