Control and Acceptance- Two Sides of the Same Coin?

When you think about control, what do you think about? How much you control? How little you control? How you wish you had more control? Well, if that's the case, welcome to the club! In this episode I take a look at what control is in theory and how chasing it when we should or shouldn't will determine how stressed you feel, how satisfied you feel or more appropriately, how crappy you might be feeling because you are choosing poorly, to quote the knight in that episode of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - more on that in the episode. Changing that is really at the heart of this and hopefully you'll be able to relate. 

Songs featured in this episode:

Control - Janet Jackson

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel

Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine

Dog Days are Over - Florence and the Machine

Listen wherever you get your podcasts - you can find Walking Alongside on Podcast Addict, Podchaser, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Player FM, Tune-In and of course Spotify, Google Player and Apple Podcasts - where if you can leave a comment or throw me some ideas of topics you'd like to hear about, that would be great. 

Walking Alongside is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
