Outcomes

At Emotion Station we help people with things they can control and the things they cannot control in their life.   One of the things people may not be able to control in their life is outcomes. We like to investigate if we can accept outcomes or if we’re always trying to control them.

Controlling outcomes would be putting pressure on the situation , even forcing a particular direction for self-purposes only. When we think we can control outcomes we think we can control people, which can get very dangerous and cause us to abuse our self and others.  We put a lot of anxiety on our self when we try to control outcomes when that can be very unhealthy for the way we take care of our self and the way we relationship with others. Sometimes we get so fixated on the outcome we forget care of our self, for example, we will only put work into our self if we only get the outcome that we want if we don’t get the outcome that we want we’re not willing to put the work in for our self

Accepting outcomes would look like one facing the reality of what life has dealt them find a way to process the emotions that come with it, and then resolutions to find a better quality of life. We don’t always want what we get in life but sometimes we learn to accept it and find a way to put it into our life just like a puzzle piece. Learning to understand that we have control of our reaction to that outcome and not the outcome is the healthiest way to acceptance.  Acceptance doesn’t always mean happiness.  If you or someone you know needs help accepting outcomes in their life contact Emotion Station today 239-317-3115.
