Focusing your energy on controllable worries empowers you to feel in control over some aspects of life and direct your energy where it counts. This reduces feelings of helplessness or uncertainty, releasing you from trying to manipulate the uncontrollable. Furthermore, develop a habit of practicing gratitude for what is within your control.

You may want to learn how to stop worrying about what you can't control, but you may not be sure how to go about doing this. In this case, there are several methods of treatment or lifestyle changes that might benefit you, such as therapy, medication, or radical acceptance skills.

Engaging in activities that bring us into the present moment, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, allows us to detach from worrisome thoughts about uncontrollable situations. By cultivating an awareness of the here and now, we learn to let go of concerns that serve no purpose other than draining our mental energy.
