You can Control

26 Things you can control
by Raquel Torres

As I am preparing to write my next article, I had this thought of a mini article of an image I found on an audiobook that got my attention. I did some changes, and put it in Spanish and English. I thought, no rush with my column, I really want to be inspiring and helpful.

1-Your beliefs
2-Your attitude
3-Your thoughts
4-Your perspective
5-How honest you are
6-Who your friends are
7-What books you read
8-How often you exercise
9-The type of food you eat
10-How many risks you take
11-How kind you are to others
12-How you interpret situations
13-How kind you are to yourself
14-How often you say “I Love You”
15-How often you say “Thank you”
16-How you express your feelings
17-Whether or not you ask for help
18-How often you practice gratitude
19-How many times you smile today
20-The amount of effort you put forth
21-How you spend and invest your money
22-How much time you spend worrying
23-How often you think about the past
24-Whether or not you judge other people
25-Whether or not you try again after the setback
26-How much you appreciate the things you have

So, I hope that after reading these 26 things you can control, I inspired you to get to your next level the way I help by Coaching & helping all levels, all goals, from their first 5k ever to their 5th Marathon or IRONMAN those I work with.
