Control has to be one the most powerful words in history, everyone wants control over their lives, everyone wants control over other people, and there are those that want to take back control from someone they fear is controlling them. The overweight lady wants to take control over her eating issues and shad a few pounds and look trim, the low earning guy wants to have financial control and be free. We all want control one way or the other.

In this post, we're going to look at some ways we can take control over our lives, our time, and our emotions. Because anything that control over these things in our life, has power over us and may wield this power in ways that may be to a disadvantage to us and be advantageous to the person.

Embarking on this mission of regaining control over our lives, maybe a little tough, as the other party will try to maintain that control they have over you, because it gives them power over you, and as we all know, giving up power can be really hard.

Agree That You Need Help

Admitting that there is a problem and that you need help, solves the problem half way, because it keeps our mind in an open state, a state is open to solutions and ideas, which is a wonderful state to be in. In this state, we should be open to all sorts of ideas, both the bad and the good ideas, and the ones we think will work and the one that we think may work, it is good we have all these ideas.

The reason we need these ideas in our head is because, no knowledge gained is lost. And in times when we need solutions, a once useless or not so bright idea or concept, might be what will save the day. So it is important you consider and much ideas as possible at the first stage. The more we know, the merrier we can be be in the day of trouble and confusion.

Now, having decided that you need help, it's time to go out their and find the right help you need. And don't hold back when considering the kind of help you need.

Be Assertive

This will need a lot of courage to do, as it is for everything that matters, in order to truly take back control of your time, freedom and happiness, you have to take command, and taking command means being very assertive. You need to articulate your demands, your requests and give conditions to following through, anything worth having, is worth fighting for.

Here is where you truly fight for what's yours, you take what belongs to you, and let your anger and frustration fuel your rage. That will serve as a lot of energy source to power your independence, and this can be from an abusive spouse, or boss, or from negative and sometimes difficult parents. At this stage, it is very okay to walk away if things don't work your way.

Never compromise because if you do, you'll end up where you started from which is not far from being overweight, unhappy, frustrated and dejected. Strive for your freedom even if everyone is sternly against it, do what makes you happy. People are only interested in what they can get from you, it is up to you to decide what you want from yourself.
