You have control over your thought and behavior.

I like to think of myself as a Gameboy. Food, water. Yes, no. Meditate, sleep. All things that affect my mind and body. 

Sometimes life seems way out of your control. Sometimes your mind feels like a mental trap. Slow down, breathe, and remember what you can control. You can control your thoughts. I'm not saying it doesn't require effort, but you are in charge. Let them pass like a train going by, and remember that they are not facts. Once you've slowed everything down, remember while you can't control the world, you can control what you do in it. 

It may only be a little in the grand scheme of things, but it is what we have control over.
