In this episode of Journey into the Present, host Bryan Burrs delves into the concept of control and how it impacts our lives. Often, we find ourselves trying to control outcomes, emotions, and even other people's reactions, in an effort to manage our fears. But this gripping need for control distances us from the present moment and ultimately creates suffering.
Bryan shares personal insights and invites listeners to explore the power of surrender. Surrendering is not about giving up, but about being honest and open to life as it unfolds. Through this shift from control to presence, we can experience life as it truly is, gaining peace and connection.
Join Bryan as he encourages us to notice where we are gripping and offers an exercise to help us release tension and embrace the now. Tune in for a thoughtful journey towards living fully in the present.
