Episode 23 - The shadow side of planning

For most of my life I was a complete control freak...

I planned everything to the most minute detail as a way to control the outcome.

I lived in fear that things wouldn't go to plan, and so I invested so much of my time and energy into trying to make sure it did. It wasn't just about the plan, but it was planning for all of the possible outcomes and if this happened then do this or if this happens then do that.

I became paralysed by all the planning without taking much action... And it was freaking exhausting!

And this is the shadow side of planning. When we use it as a means of control.

So in today's episode I shared some of my journey of learning to let go of my addiction to control.
