Your body is a remarkable example of your zone of influence. While you can't control every external factor that affects your health, you have immense power over your daily habits. These controllable actions build physical resilience, which, in turn, strengthens your mental and emotional resilience.

Our minds often trick us into believing we have more control than we do. We replay conversations, trying to find a better way we could have responded. We worry about future outcomes that are completely out of our hands. This constant striving for control over uncontrollable things is a fast track to burnout and mental exhaustion.
