Loosening The Grip - A 3 Principles Path Beyond Control

Are you tired of trying to control everything like your work, your relationships, even your own feelings, only to end up exhausted? This course offers a new perspective. From a 3 Principles understanding, control is never the path to safety or peace. It is a misunderstanding of where your experience comes from.

During this course, you will explore why control feels so compelling, why it never really works, and how peace emerges naturally when the grip begins to loosen. You will also hear the confessions of a “recovering control freak,” so you can feel like you are not alone and be offered real stories, gentle insights, and practical reflections to help you see that calm, resilience, and clarity are already within you.

This course is especially supportive if you are a high-achieving professional or business owner who often feels stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. You’ll discover how much lighter life feels when you no longer need to manage every detail and how trust, freedom, and creativity naturally arise in the absence of control.

By the end of the course, you will not only understand why control never delivers the peace you seek but also rest more deeply in the truth that life has always carried you, even when you thought you were holding everything together.

Lección 1: Confessions Of A Control Freak

Control often looks like the answer to stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. Yet from a 3 Principles understanding, control is a misunderstanding of where experience comes from. In this opening lesson, Clare shares her own confessions and invites you to see how the need to control arises innocently but never brings the peace you long for.

Lección 2: Why Control Never Really Works

No matter how much you plan, fix, or manage, peace seems out of reach. This lesson explores why control is futile: life is unpredictable, and feelings don’t come from circumstances anyway. Discover why trying to flatten the ocean of life only leaves you tired and tense.

Lección 3: The Inner Critic And Control

Behind every attempt to control is the inner critic whispering that you are not enough. This lesson shows how control becomes an attempt to silence self-doubt. From a 3 Principles perspective, those harsh voices are only thoughts and never truth about you.

Lección 4: The Illusion Of Safety

Control looks like the path to safety. Yet often it creates more danger: burnout, exhaustion, and ignoring our bodies. This lesson reveals how chasing safety “out there” blinds us to the calm already within.

Lección 5: Letting Thought Pass Like Trains

Control comes from believing every thought that shouts for attention. In this lesson, you will be introduced to the metaphor of trains of thought and see that you don’t have to board every one. Learn how stepping back from thought creates natural space.

Lección 6: Control And Other People

Much of our control energy is spent on others: wanting them to behave differently so we can feel okay. This lesson explores why that never works, and how relationships soften when we see feelings are inside-out.

Lección 7: Loosening The Grip

Insight, not effort, loosens the grip of control. This lesson shows how space opens when we see that our feelings are never coming from outcomes. Peace is not achieved through control. It is revealed when control softens.

Lección 8: Living With Uncertainty

Control is a reaction to uncertainty. This lesson explores how embracing the unknown allows freedom, resilience, and creativity. From a 3 Principles perspective, wisdom always shows up in the moment, not through pre-planning every outcome.

Lección 9: Freedom Beyond Control

When we no longer need to control everything, life opens up. This lesson reveals the freedom of being guided by inner wisdom rather than fear. See how clarity and calm arise naturally when control drops away.

Lección 10: Trusting Life As It Is

The journey ends with a gentle reminder: you are not broken, and life is not against you. Trusting the intelligence behind life brings peace beyond control. This closing lesson helps you rest in the awareness that wisdom, resilience, and clarity are already within you.

Reviews

Such wonderful insight. I am always trying to control how people see me which is utterly ridiculous: Let alone exhausting. I am really starting to learn that the only opinion of me that matters is mine. I cannot control how other people behave by being what they want me to be.
