The Secrets to Taming your Inner Control Freak
How to Embrace the State of Infinite Trust and Unmask the Delusions of Control
On some level, we all have an inner control freak. We all have some deeper need to control, manage, or manipulate our outer world to attain/obtain some desired result. Your control freak may only show up in certain stressful situations and circumstances. While in others, it steers the entire ship every moment of their lives creating a toxic environment for everyone nearby.
The behavior of our inner control freak stems from underlying insecurities, fear of failure, or a desire for power and validation. It struggles with relinquishing control, even in situations where it is appropriate or necessary, which can lead to difficulty in forming healthy relationships. Whenever it exhibits a compulsive or obsessive need to have excessive influence over situations, events, or people, it ends up micromanaging the outer world and cutting off the life force circulation to your inner world. The connection with spirit is minimized and replaced by the need to dictate how things should be done, and resisting any form of deviation from their preferred methods.
What I find crazy interesting about this control-based mindset is that its foundation is a fear-based program which ironically does not feel very liberating. The controller offers a intense uncomfortable clenching energy in the body that we must tolerate. And there’s an opposing force behind the fear that is always allowing the control freak to remain there, making us continue to feel contracted and create more unpleasant sensations throughout the body each day. We give it permission to make us feel more tension than relaxation inside.
What your inner control freak doesn’t know, however, is how to fully trust life. It doesn’t understand the means to let go of fear, surrender to destiny, and trust in the unknown. The controlling mind has the tightest grip on its reality, thinking this is the best possible version of life it can create. Meanwhile, it is obsessed with the future, has a desperate need to make sure it gets exactly what it wants when it wants it, and believes that the more control it has, the better the chance is that it will get what it desires. It’s deeply delusional and can be quite righteous about its plan.
Often what ends up happening inside this controlling mechanism is the deeper need to always feel in control, so that it never reaches the edge of feeling the unknown where it feels out of control. Whenever we exist in such a tight fearful box of control, we forget how to be open and receptive to new ideas, ways of thinking, and possible outcomes. This block is the main deterrent for you to naturally know how to manifest your heart’s desires from a place of joy and effortless ease.
"The more you try to control, the less control you have. Surrender to the flow of life." - Lao Tzu
