How to use "Under control" in context?
If you're anything like me, you're constantly trying to stay "under control." I'm not talking about keeping your emotions in check- that's obviously important. I'm talking about controlling the things that are out of your control. Whether it's a difficult conversation you're having, or a stressful day at work, I want you to know that you're not alone.
Most of us are always fighting off some sort of worry or fear. Whether it's the thought of a test, or speaking in public, we're constantly aiming to be in control. But is it really such a bad thing?
