As a disclaimer, I’m not a mental health professional. I’m approaching this subject with my observations and experiences. In trying to unlearn not taking enough control, I’ve had to navigate not ending up on the other side of the spectrum. For me, striking that middle ground is a work in progress. Something that has helped me stay on track is a key lesson from thethat I come from, which is that we don’t have control over everything, but we do have control over how we behave.
Look within yourself to uncover what could be behind your need for control. As with the previous step, you could also speak with trusted friends and family members, sit down with a mentor or discuss things with a therapist. You might realize that you might want to be in control because you’re worried about your reputation or you’re afraid of failure.
