Control The Only Thing You Can (transcript)
Breathe in and release your vibration.
Breathe out and release your resistance.

Breathe in and release your vibration.
Breathe out and release your resistance.

Welcome back to the present moment where all of your power lies.

Breathe in and say yes to what is.
Breathe out and say thank you for what is.

Yes, I have a lot of thoughts swirling around. Yes, I want to deal with them chemically. Yes, I am craving and seeking. Yes, I’m trying to correct my course. Yes, I’m concerned about what’s going to happen. Yes, I want to control everything.

Breathe in and notice where you want to control everything.
Breathe out and let go of control.

Say, I don’t give a fuck. I don’t care what happens. That’s your power. Letting go of caring what happens. Letting go of control. Control is letting go. Life knows what’s best. You do not.

Breathe in and gather your attention.
Breathe out and let go of trying to control everything.

I want to control so much. I want to control what happens tomorrow. I want to control what happens to other people. I want to control what information I have. I want to control what time things happen. I want to control when people ask me things. I want to control so much. But today, I’m surrendering control by asking, am I aware?

Breathe in and ask, am I aware?
Breathe out and light the flame of your awareness by asking, am I aware?

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, yes, I am.

After you’ve decided to let go of control and you’ve said half-heartedly, I don’t care what happens, commit to letting life live you. Commit to letting go of control. And today, I’m doing that by asking, am I aware? every time the thoughts start creeping in. Every time I start thinking, “I hope this doesn’t happen. Should I do this? Should I do this? Should I act out of anxiety? Should I act out of fear? Should I spend money out of anxiety? What should I do? Should I do this? Should I do this?”

Breathe in and ask, am I aware?
Breathe out and notice, yes, I am.

When I’m aware, I have no problems because my mind isn’t agitated. When I’m aware, I have no problems because I’m not noticing lack. And when I’m aware, I have no problems because I’m not separate from anyone I love. I’m love itself.

Breathe in and ask, am I aware?
Breathe out and let this practice calm you down, help you stop acting out of anxiety.

If you’re asking, should I do this? Should I do this? What if this happens? Should I do this? It’s a good sign you’re trying to control everything. You’re trying to control the uncontrollable and everything is uncontrollable other than your perspective.

Breathe in and control the only thing you can, your perspective.
Breathe out and surrender control of everything else.

Even if you control the things you want to control, like what time things happen and what other people are doing, you don’t know what’s best. And you could make a big mess by controlling the way you want.

Breathe in and acknowledge you don’t know what’s best.
Breathe out and let life take care of life because life knows what’s best.

You can get out of the way. You can surrender control and you can feel good and enjoy your life because you don’t have to control everything. You don’t have to be responsible for everything. You can rest in your awareness and let the miracles come to you. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

Breathe in and ask, am I aware?
Breathe out and stay with that answer.

Yes, I am. Every time those anxious thoughts come back: am I aware? Am I aware? And that’s how you can let go of trying to control the uncontrollable and have the best day of your life.

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, yes, I am aware.

I am burning the candle of awareness and I am now in the flow.
