As a child, you had little control of your environment, situation, and circumstance.
So to try and exert control, you took on frameworks, beliefs, habits, tendencies.
In this context, I don’t say “control” to mean swift command or relaxed confidence.
In this context, I mean force, squeezing tight, pushing, demanding, the willing.
So, now as an adult, it’s okay to release those now. Let go of those mechanisms.
Now, you can operate with empowerment.
