•Practice good self-care. Getting plenty of rest, scheduling play time and
pursuing your own interests will help you feel more satisfied with your life
overall and less dissatisfied with those around you.
•Be honest and direct when you present a request or offer an opinion to
someone else. Be aware that you might try to control surface issues when there
is something deeper that should be dealt with.
•Encourage and praise your husband, children, friends and employees.
Encouragement will draw them toward you, whereas criticism will push them
away.
•Trust others with the successful outcome of the tasks for which they are
responsible. Hovering over them and checking their work is demotivating. Discern
between what is important and what is trivial before deciding whether or not to
get involved. Trust others to make good decisions, even when you aren't sure
they're on the right track.
•Share your frustrations and concerns with a trusted friend or pastor. If
your painful feelings persist, talk to a professional counselor.
•Most important, learn to trust God and give Him ultimate control over the
people and circumstances in your life. That trust will increase the more time
you spend with Him and study the Bible. When your relationship with God is in
place, the need to control others will lessen.
