#317: What Is The Relationship Between Feeling In Control & Your Stress Levels? A BJJ Story

What is the connection between how in control you feel and how much stress & anxiety you experience? 

 

My hypothesis is that the less control we feel we’re in, our stress & anxiety can tend to increase.

 

One of my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training partners, Vince, challenged me to try different moves because I might be too much in a comfort zone based on the few moves I do. 

 

I felt the control slipping from my grasp, as I knew he was right. 

 

What areas of your life do you try to control more than others? Why those particular areas? 

 

How much do you need to feel in control? 

 

How do you respond when you feel yourself starting to lose control?
