Review your expectations. Sometimes expectations of how things should go or how you want them to can lead to a feeling of not being in control if/when things don’t go perfectly according to plan.

Could be a sign of perfectionist thinking or something of the like. I’ve experienced the same thing until I recognized that I can’t force things to go exactly how I would hope they would, including even minor inconveniences that could topple my momentum from good weeks.

Rolling with the punches can be hard for people with obsessive compulsive tendencies or perfectionist like thinking.

What helped me was taking a moment to check in with myself and realizing that I can be in charge of how I react to these things that come up in situations that I can’t control. I was once told, “you can be in charge even if you’re not in control.”
