"Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't" - Steve Maraboli
Things you cannot control:
🌟What others think of you
🌟How others behave
🌟What other people do
🌟Other people's thoughts and feelings
🌟How others respond
Things you can control:
☀️The way you respond
☀️The way you react
☀️The way you behave
☀️Your attitude
☀️Your effort
☀️How you speak to yourself
☀️How you take care of yourself
☀️Whether you look for positives or negatives
💛 Today I will not stress over things I cannot control
💛 Today I will be kind and compassionate, I embrace love and reject anger and hatred
💛I consciously accept all that is good
Overthinking/worry:
Consider the facts and what you know, not thoughts and fears which are exaggerated in overthinking. Allowing fears and anxieties to take over is not helpful and only makes things worse.
Trust that nothing bad is happening or will happen.
We forget sometimes that the best things in life are free - relaxing with your pet, a walk in the sunshine or the first cup of tea in the morning. You need not live in a palace to appreciate these things. It truly is the little things in life that matter the most.

Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals, and it won't make us happier.
