Welcome to the first step in the CALM Process: Control. This module is all about understanding what you can and cannot control in your life. So often, stress comes from focusing on things that are simply out of our hands. By identifying where your influence lies, you can shift your energy toward what truly matters and let go of unnecessary frustration.
In this module, we’ll dive into how to recognize the areas where you have control and learn strategies to take effective action. This is a powerful first step toward managing stress and reclaiming your peace of mind.
