How can I recognize and control my controlling behaviors?

I've noticed that I often try to control situations and people around me. How can I recognize this behavior?

Recognizing controlling behaviors often starts with self-reflection. Do you find yourself feeling anxious when things don't go your way?

Yes, I do feel anxious. What are some specific signs I should look for?

Some signs include needing to make decisions for others, feeling frustrated when things are out of your control, or trying to micromanage tasks.

That makes sense. How can I start to change these behaviors?

Start by practicing mindfulness. Acknowledge your feelings without judgment and try to let go of the need to control every outcome.
