By reframing our thoughts, we literally empower ourselves to handle situations that initially appear hopeless. She says taking control of the things we can handle in a situation is by far the best way to handle feelings of helplessness. For instance, we may worry about developing an illness.

She says the things we can control; that’s where our power lays.
