Taking control of your own energy and ground are the first steps to realizing you do have control over your reactions and your choices in the situation. You may not have control over changes or additional responsibilities in your work assignment or the scheduling of your kids’ ball games, yet you can control your choice of how to act, think or feel in the midst of pressures and changes.
