This is the affirmation for day three of the Meditate and Elevate: A 30-day Mental Health Boost.

Focusing on what you can control is an essential aspect of personal development, mental health, and overall well-being. It involves shifting your attention away from things that are outside of your control and placing your energy and efforts towards those things you can influence.

When you focus on what you can control, you are more likely to experience a sense of empowerment and fulfilment. You can take steps towards achieving your goals, managing your emotions, and making positive changes in your life.

Here are some strategies you can use to focus on what you can control:

1. Identify what you can and can’t control: Start by identifying the things that are within your control and those that are not. For example, you can control your attitude, your behavior, and how you respond to situations. However, you cannot control other people’s actions, the weather, or the economy.
2. Set realistic goals: Setting realistic goals that are within your control can help you to achieve a sense of accomplishment and move towards a more fulfilling life. Focus on what you can do in the present moment to move towards your goals.
3. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations. It can help you to stay focused on what you can control in the present moment.
4. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally can help you to feel more in control of your life. This might include getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in activities that bring you joy.
5. Surround yourself with positive people: Surrounding yourself with people who support and encourage you can help you to maintain a positive mindset and focus on what you can control.

Remember, focusing on what you can control takes practice, and it won’t happen overnight. But with time and effort, you can develop the skills and habits necessary to take charge of your life and achieve your goals.
