Podcast Episode Notes: Focus on What You Can Control

Episode Title: Focus on What You Can Control
Podcast: Outside the Treatment Room
Host: Connie Holm

Feeling overwhelmed by things outside your control? Whether it’s client cancellations, social media algorithms, or personal challenges, it’s easy to get stuck in frustration. In this episode, we’re shifting our focus to what we can control—and letting go of what we can’t. Tune in to learn how to redirect your energy and regain control over your business and mindset.

The Power of Letting Go

Worrying about things outside your control drains your energy and keeps you stuck.

The most successful people focus on what they can influence, not external factors.

What You Can Control in Your Business

Your Actions – Instead of stressing over slow business, take proactive steps like running promotions or learning a new skill.

Your Mindset – Shift negative thoughts into opportunities (e.g., unexpected free time can be used productively).

Your Boundaries – Set limits on your availability and energy; you don’t have to be available 24/7.

Your Effort – Success isn’t about working longer hours but about consistent, focused effort.

Practical Strategies for Staying Focused

Create a ‘Control List’ – Divide a page into “Things I Can’t Control” vs. “Things I Can Control” and focus only on the latter.

Use the ‘Pause and Redirect’ Method – When you catch yourself worrying, ask: “What’s one action I can take right now?”

Set Boundaries with Negativity – Avoid doom-scrolling, gossip, and energy-draining distractions.

Create a Vision Board – Visualize your goals with simple notes or images to stay motivated.

With all the uncertainty in the world, it’s easy to feel out of control. I’ve personally struggled with long to-do lists, frustration over others’ actions, and the mental weight of uncertainty. But by focusing on what I can control, I’ve found clarity and peace—and I want to help you do the same.
