Time and space are inextricably linked and matter and energy occupy the fabric of space-time. #*The Planet Earth rotates once each day (i.e., once every twenty-four hours), and the inhabitants spend approximately twelve hours in substantial darkness when half of the planet is hidden from the Sun, and twelve hours in substantial light when half of the planet is exposed to the Sun.[[Image:Celebrate Wholesome Bliss Step 1Bullet1.jpg|center]] #*The excessively hot core of the Planet Earth is enveloped by a viscous layer known as the mantle which is in turn enveloped by the hard crust. #*Also, the Planet Earth is orbited by the Moon, and it (along with the Moon and other uninhabited planets) orbits the Sun (i.e. one of many stars) in one of many galaxies.[[Image:Celebrate Wholesome Bliss Step 1Bullet3.jpg|center]] #* The Moon encircles...

Become Less of a Control Freak

Image
Control can be very tempting, especially if your life is chaotic and stressful. However, trying to control every aspect of a situation often does more harm than good. If you find yourself becoming a control freak, work on altering your worldview. Communicate more directly with others and learn when to let things go. Look at things from another person's perspective, as this will help you remember you're not right about everything. With a little dedication, you can overcome control freak tendencies.  [[Category:Creating Life Balance]] == Steps == === Altering Your Worldview === #Admit you have issues with control. If you're controlling, you may have a tendency to assume you're right. Recognize when you feel your way is the only way to complete a task.

#You become what you think about most, but you also attract what you think about most.[[Image:Apply the Law of Attraction Successfully Step 1 Version 2.jpg|center]] #* Do not think about what you don't want, or dwell on past occurrences, because if you only think about all the bad things that have happened to you, or the bad things that you think are going to happen to you, then you'll only get more of the bad things you don't want to happen. #* Thinking things such as, "I don't want this to happen..." or, "This will ''not'' happen..." or, "This is happening now, but it wont happen again..." is not acceptable.
