COURSE
Letting Go Of The Need For Control
With Clint van Heerden
‘Letting Go Of The Need For Control’ invites you to explore what happens when you stop trying to manage every outcome and start trusting life’s natural rhythm. Over three short sessions, you’ll learn to recognize how control shows up in your thoughts, your emotions, and your daily actions — and how to soften its grip. With calm, practical guidance, you’ll move from tension to trust, and from striving to flow, one small step at a time. Music attribution: Harmony of the Earth by Alex Creative Commons CC BY 3.0

I love it when people can cut to the chase and be succinct. I also really enjoyed the homework at the end of each short session. Thank you.

WOW! Let things just FLOW! I don’t always have to know the outcome. PAUSE, BREATHE. AWARENESS. TRUST. FLOW.

Love the shift of perspective suggested by redefining trust. It makes me responsible for how I respond to people I love, but cannot and should not try to control their choices, actions, words. It’s a reminder to trust my ability to grow, flow and flourish by breaking the out worn habit of managing/planning and trying to “fix” others.

So needed this. Major remodel going on in my home. I am a retired contractor. I find myself micromanaging my hired contractor. I’m able to step back now. Thank you.

That course was short and sweet! It's so helpful and I have a family member that I wish I could share this with because they need it. But their level of control is so fear-based that I don't think it would resonate with them. But for people without deep-seated control issues this course is so very valuable! Thank you!

This was a very nice short overview of this subject of control. It has me pay more attention on where in my life controlling behavior is present. Any and all consciousness we add in our lives is a benefit!!
