Using affirmations

With everything that's happening right now, I often find that I feel like things are happening to me without my consent. I've begun using positive affirmations that remind me that all these outside forces creating change are not what I can control, but I can control what I think about it and how I let it into my life! My mantra right now is "Do what you need to do, while the world does what it needs to do." There's no reason to get pent up about what we can't do...but there's so much we can do within ourselves, our homes, our direct communities and friendships. Change happens at the granular level.
