Have you ever had a season in your life where you felt powerless?
(00:06):
Maybe at work when decisions were being made above your head and you had no say.
Maybe in your family when someone you love is making choices you can't stop.
Or maybe in your personal life when circumstances are so overwhelming health issues, finances,
relationships, that you're left thinking, "I have no control at all."
(00:29):
That powerless feeling can be suffocating because here's the truth.
As humans we crave control.
We crave the ability to shape our lives, to know what's coming, to have influence.
But when that slips through our fingers it's easy to spiral into fear, frustration, even
hopelessness.
(00:49):
Here's what I want us to explore today.
When you need something to control, control your mindset.
You may not be able to change your circumstances but you always have the ability to choose
how you think, how you see the situation and how you respond and that changes everything.
(01:10):
Want to know more?
Let's dive in to today's episode.
Hey friend, are you a people pleasing conflict avoiding leader?
Is your secret relationship with fear affecting your leadership decisions?
Do you want to learn how to build credibility and confidence or to navigate difficult conversations?
(01:32):
Do you long to manage your time without sacrificing your family or self-care?
Welcome to leadership becomes her.
I'm Becky Burroughs, your host and a minister and life and leadership coach with over 50 years
experience in leadership.
I firmly believe God has given you everything you need to lead well.
(01:53):
You have the toolbox.
You just need to learn how to use the tools.
So get comfy or start a mindless task.
You know how to pause or rewind if you need to.
Let's get started.
So here's why I think as humans we crave control.
(02:14):
Control is tied to our sense of safety.
When life feels predictable we feel calm.
When life feels unpredictable we can get a little anxious.
The problem is that we often put our energy into controlling things that aren't ours
to control.
Like people, outcomes, timing, even the way others see us.
(02:36):
And when those things don't bend to our will we end up exhausted and discouraged.
One of the very subtle ways we can crave control is when we say or when we think, you know
like you'll say something or you'll do something and you'll go, well now I don't want you
to think that and you'll finish that sentence.
(02:59):
And so you will alter what you plan on saying or doing because of fear of what someone
else will think.
When in reality you absolutely have zero control on what anybody else thinks of them
yourself.
I mean think about it.
Think about how many times you did not let on by your words or your facial expression what
(03:26):
you were thinking in the moment.
Everybody does that.
There is absolutely zero chance that you can 100% guarantee or predict how someone else
is going to think.
If they don't give you any clues, it is a complete waste of time.
(03:48):
So think about a time that you have altered what you were going to say or what you were
going to do or you over explained what you just said or what you just did in an effort to
control what somebody else thinks.
How did that leave you feeling?
Because at the end of the day you still didn't know how they thought, oh you can hear them,
(04:10):
oh you're fine.
I didn't think that at all but you don't really know and you can never know.
The truth is chasing things, chasing control of things outside of our reach always leads
to disappointment.
But what if we shifted?
What if we focused on what is within our power?
(04:32):
And the one thing that is completely within your power to change is your mindset.
So here's what it means to control your mindset.
Controlling your mindset is not about pretending everything is fine.
It is not toxic positivity or putting on a fake smile.
It is choosing the lens through which you're going to see life.
(04:57):
So think of it like a pair of glasses.
If you put on a lens of defeat, everything looks impossible.
If you put on a lens of hope, that same situation looks challenging but survivable.
Your mindset doesn't erase the struggle.
It changes the way you walk through it.
(05:19):
Think about a time that you've had a stressful work project and you're dreading it and you
know it's going to be hard and you're not sure you're going to do it.
You can work yourself up into a state of anxiety and frustration before you even start.
And or you can approach it with curiosity instead of fear for example.
(05:41):
You can say you know what?
We're going to do the best we can.
If we can't figure it out, we're going to get help.
Taking the pressure off of yourself to do it perfectly.
Or maybe you had some kind of personal trial where you refused to let bitterness in.
I remember when I was going through my divorce after 41 years of marriage.
(06:03):
Well I had a lot of fear and out of all the things I was afraid of, my number one fear was
turning into a bitter old woman whose life ended the day her husband walked out the door.
And I'm seeing that happen.
I'm seeing women do that when their husband left them or when their husband died even.
(06:27):
I remember in particular right around the time my divorce happened, I knew a woman at
my church who had had a similar thing happen where her husband left after 40 years of marriage.
And she experienced a lot of loss as a result of that divorce.
She had to move out of her town.
(06:47):
She had never held a job outside of the home and she had to go to work for the first time
at the age of 60, taking a job where she was on her feet all day.
She had to leave all her friends.
And while she did move to be near family, all she could think about was everything she lost,
everything she gave up.
And she was angry and she was bitter and it permeated everything.
(07:13):
And I thought that would be so easy to sink into that, but I'm not doing it.
And that's when I began mindset work.
It's actually very shortly after that that I went and got coaching certification where
I learned about how mindset works and how you can reframe your mindset.
(07:33):
And I'm telling you, it makes all the difference when bad things happen to you and you can figure
out how to reframe it, not to turn it necessarily into something good, although that can happen.
But at the very least, you can turn it into something that you're learning from, something
that's causing you to grow or to think differently.
(07:55):
So think about the last time you felt powerless.
What lens were you looking through and did your mindset at the time make it heavier or did
it lighten the load?
So I'm going to share with you some practical ways to shift your mindset.
One is to name whatever it is you cannot control.
Write it down, say it out loud.
(08:16):
There is power in acknowledging this is out of my hands or this is not mine to do.
But I have no control over how someone else chooses to think.
Once you name it, it has this tremendous power that allows you to release it.
And then refocus on what you can control.
(08:38):
You can control your thoughts.
You can control your choices.
You can control your routines and even the smallest action creates momentum.
Again, when I was going through that very dark time in my life, I put myself my day on a
very strict schedule because I felt like the less I had to think about, the less the fewer
(09:03):
decisions I had to make, the better.
So I got up every morning.
I made my bed whether I felt like it or not.
I got dressed whether I felt like it or not.
I began my day with a cup of coffee and Bible study.
And after that I worked out and then I went to work and every, there were so many things
in my day that were regimented.
(09:24):
It freed up my mind to think about those things that were going to require creativity, which
I wasn't feeling very creative at that time.
But I didn't want anything sucking the life out of my ability to think.
And there's something powerful about ordering your day to where you don't have to think,
(09:48):
expend brain power thinking about, what am I going to do next?
And releasing those things that are outside of your control that really frees you up.
And then I think it is vitally important to reframe your self-talk because our words shape
our reality.
Think about when something happens and you say to yourself, even out loud, you are so stupid.
(10:12):
Why did you do that?
That is the dumbest thing.
I'm so I'm embarrassed to be you.
Or you're so fat or you're such a failure or whatever that negative self-talk is, our
brains have a tendency to believe it and to act on it.
It becomes our reality and by the same token, if you can reframe your self-talk and be
(10:33):
the kindest friend to yourself.
There's an expression, if you talked to others the way you talked to yourself, would you
even have any friends?
And we tend to be so kind to others and so hard on ourselves.
So refraining that self-talk is so important.
Practicing gratitude.
(10:54):
Gratitude does not erase pain, but it does shift perspective.
When I was going through that very difficult time, I made my drive to work.
It takes me about 30 minutes to get to work and I used that time to pray prayers of gratitude,
thanking God for everything I could think of.
And when I felt like I had run out of things, I tried this experiment one day that just was
(11:18):
really hard.
I began to thank him for all the difficult things I was going through and it felt at first
a little disingenuine because it was I really thankful for those things, but here's the
deal.
I was thankful for what I learned from it or how I was growing as a result of it.
So I would say, "God, thank you for this really awful thing that happened to me because
(11:40):
I've learned."
And sometimes what I learned was about myself.
I learned I can do it.
I learned I'm stronger than I think.
I learned that I'm becoming resilient.
Sometimes what I learned was about God.
I learned or I was reminded that you are faithful.
I learned that you're always going to be with me or whatever you can do to reframe and
(12:03):
to practice gratitude.
And then pause before reacting.
Sometimes five seconds of pause can change everything.
That's really hard to do, especially for people like me, unfortunately, who are very quick
with a comeback.
I have to I have to work at pausing.
(12:26):
It's actually getting easier as I'm getting older, but it was extremely difficult when I was
younger.
If I had the thought, boom, it came out of my mouth and sometimes I would try to yank it
back in.
It was too late.
And now when someone says something that's hurtful or I'll stick with hurtful, I just stop.
(12:47):
And I process it because I want to be so careful that what I'm about to say is not something
I'm going to have to come around and apologize for.
And so the pause will always help you respond better than if you were to react.
So this week, try this.
Every time you feel powerless, pause, breathe and ask, what can I control here?
(13:17):
And what mindset do I want to choose right now?
Because when you control your mindset, you gain freedom.
You stop wasting energy trying to control what's not yours.
I want you to think about your day, your life, your energy as an oxygen tank.
(13:37):
Like if you're going to go deep sea diving, you've got an oxygen tank.
You have an exact amount of oxygen in your tank.
You cannot borrow from yesterday's tank.
You cannot save for tomorrow that tank holds what it holds and you have the maximum
amount.
Your energy is like that.
You have a certain amount, a finite amount of energy that you're given in a given day.
(14:00):
You cannot borrow from yesterday's energy.
You cannot save for tomorrow.
You have today what you can use today.
Think about all the things we waste energy on.
And one of them, for example, is worrying about what other people think.
It is complete and total waste of energy because you cannot do anything about it.
(14:23):
When you control your mindset, you gain freedom.
And as I just said, you stop wasting energy trying to control what's not yours.
You show up calmer in relationships.
You think clearer.
You build resilience.
This was absolutely life-changing for me when I learned how to control my mindset, how
(14:48):
to control how I choose to think about a situation.
For example, I can watch, let's say, well, I'll give you a real life example.
I was doing a workshop with a group of preschool directors on mindset, assumptions we make,
(15:10):
and our assumptions tend to feed into our secret fears.
So I painted this scenario.
Let's say you come out in the hallway out of your office and you see two teachers, it's
before school, two teachers outside in the hallway between their classrooms whispering
to each other.
What do you think they're talking about?
And I went around the room of all these preschool teachers and I heard everything from their
(15:31):
gossiping about parents.
They're talking about kids. They are gossiping about another teacher.
They're talking about me because they stopped as soon as they saw me.
And finally, the last preschool director said, "They're planning my surprise birthday
party.
That is reframing.
(15:54):
That is controlling your mindset.
Every single one of those directors before her came up with something that fed into their
secret fears, something that was going to make them feel bad."
Gossiping about this one and that one are talking about me.
But the last one decided, "You know what?
I don't have a clue what they're talking about.
So I'm going to come up with something positive."
(16:15):
That is a beautiful example of how you can control your mindset rather than making an
assumption and we only make assumptions when we don't have complete information.
And our assumptions tend to feed into our secret fears.
So if you're going to make an assumption, why not make one that entertains you?
(16:35):
If I'm driving down the road and a guy cuts me off in traffic, I mean like changes lanes
right in front of me where I have to slam on the brakes and then he immediately exits.
I could get very angry and yell inside my car or no one can hear me but me.
I can think all kinds of bad things about him or I can come up with an assumption that
amuses me.
Aw poor thing.
(16:56):
I bet his wife's laying in the back seat about to give birth.
He wants to get to that hospital so he doesn't have to deliver that baby.
I will never know why he did that.
Maybe he's just like the worst driver in the world.
Maybe he was late to work and he was going to miss his exit.
I don't know.
But if I'm going to have to make an assumption, why not make an assumption that amuses me?
(17:19):
So the next time you feel powerless and desperate to grab on to something, remember this.
You do have something you can control.
What's your mindset?
And that doesn't mean everything suddenly gets easier.
It does mean that you can walk through hard seasons with peace instead of panic, with
(17:39):
strength instead of fear.
So my challenge for you this week is the moment you feel powerless, stop yourself and ask,
what mindset do I want to choose right now?
That one decision may change your whole day.

I was doing a workshop with a group of preschool directors on mindset, assumptions we make,
(15:10):
and our assumptions tend to feed into our secret fears.
So I painted this scenario.
Let's say you come out in the hallway out of your office and you see two teachers, it's
before school, two teachers outside in the hallway between their classrooms whispering
to each other.
What do you think they're talking about?
And I went around the room of all these preschool teachers and I heard everything from their
(15:31):
gossiping about parents.
They're talking about kids. They are gossiping about another teacher.
They're talking about me because they stopped as soon as they saw me.
And finally, the last preschool director said, "They're planning my surprise birthday
party.
That is reframing.
(15:54):
That is controlling your mindset.
Every single one of those directors before her came up with something that fed into their
secret fears, something that was going to make them feel bad."
Gossiping about this one and that one are talking about me.
But the last one decided, "You know what?
I don't have a clue what they're talking about.
So I'm going to come up with something positive."
(16:15):
That is a beautiful example of how you can control your mindset rather than making an
assumption and we only make assumptions when we don't have complete information.
And our assumptions tend to feed into our secret fears.
So if you're going to make an assumption, why not make one that entertains you?
(16:35):
If I'm driving down the road and a guy cuts me off in traffic, I mean like changes lanes
right in front of me where I have to slam on the brakes and then he immediately exits.
I could get very angry and yell inside my car or no one can hear me but me.
I can think all kinds of bad things about him or I can come up with an assumption that
amuses me.
Aw poor thing.
(16:56):
I bet his wife's laying in the back seat about to give birth.
He wants to get to that hospital so he doesn't have to deliver that baby.
I will never know why he did that.
Maybe he's just like the worst driver in the world.
Maybe he was late to work and he was going to miss his exit.
I don't know.
But if I'm going to have to make an assumption, why not make an assumption that amuses me?
(17:19):
So the next time you feel powerless and desperate to grab on to something, remember this.
You do have something you can control.
What's your mindset?
And that doesn't mean everything suddenly gets easier.
It does mean that you can walk through hard seasons with peace instead of panic, with
(17:39):
strength instead of fear.
So my challenge for you this week is the moment you feel powerless, stop yourself and ask,
what mindset do I want to choose right now?
That one decision may change your whole day.
Hey, have this episode encouraged you?
(18:05):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
