Freedom and Control

Less Stress, More Fun

When you put the words “freedom” and “control” together in your mind’s eye, what thoughts come up? Some of my clients have shared a desire for “freedom” which, upon excavation, is a word that describes a desire for control, or at least self-control and autonomy. Let’s explore these concepts in this week’s episode!

In this episode you’ll learn:

• My perspective on control and freedom, and why I think humans crave it
• Why revealing your thoughts about what “control” and “freedom” mean to you can reduce stress and be a path to genuine playfulness
• How you can use decisive decision making to boost your sense of freedom and control

Resources mentioned:

• “Why Losing Control Can Make You Happier” (Greater Good magazine by UC-Berkeley, Sept 2016)
• “People Want Power Because They Want Autonomy” (The Atlantic, March 2016)
• Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies website
• “I’m Free” by the Soup Dragons (YouTube)
