The real story.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
633: The psychology of uncertainty, growth & hope | Maya Shankar, Ph.D.

It's torture.

If I think about torture, that would be it.

Such a powerful story.

And I think something that comes to mind for me, you know, I'm a type A personality.

I assume you are too.

And there's so much, you know, you try to control as much as you can.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
633: The psychology of uncertainty, growth & hope | Maya Shankar, Ph.D.

And as I've gotten older, I also think about the illusion of control.

The mindbodygreen Podcast

where there is a lot I can control.

The mindbodygreen Podcast

Like the reality is there's so much we don't control.

So on that note, I still want to control what I can control.
