Take Back Your Life: Regain Control and Achieve Happiness
![Jese Leos](https://bookishfables.com/author/yukio-mishima.jpg)
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life? Do you find yourself constantly trying to keep up with work, family, and personal commitments, only to feel burned out and unfulfilled? It's time to take back your life and regain control of your happiness.
Life can often become a chaotic juggling act, leaving us with little time or energy for the things that truly matter. But by making a conscious effort to prioritize and implement positive changes, we can reclaim our lives and find true fulfillment. In this article, we will explore some effective strategies to help you take back your life and create a more balanced, joyful existence.
1. Set Meaningful Goals
One of the first steps towards taking back your life is to establish meaningful goals that align with your values and passions. Think about what truly matters to you and what you want to achieve in different areas of your life, such as career, relationships, health, and personal growth. Set specific, realistic goals that will give you a sense of purpose and direction.

For example, if you aspire to advance in your career, set clear milestones and develop a plan of action to reach them. This will help you focus your time and energy on activities that will bring you closer to your goals, rather than getting caught up in unproductive tasks or distractions.
2. Learn to Say No
One of the biggest obstacles in taking back your life is the difficulty in setting boundaries and saying no to unnecessary commitments. Many of us have a tendency to overextend ourselves by taking on too many responsibilities or saying yes to every request that comes our way. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, resentment, and a lack of control over our own time.
It's important to remember that saying no is not a sign of weakness or selfishness. It's an act of self-preservation and an affirmation of our own needs and priorities. Learn to prioritize your own well-being and say no to activities, people, or obligations that do not align with your goals or values.
3. Practice Self-Care
Self-care is essential for regaining control of your life and achieving happiness. Taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being should be a top priority. Incorporate activities into your routine that bring you joy, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
Engaging in regular exercise, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and practicing mindfulness or meditation can greatly improve your overall well-being. Make time for activities that recharge your batteries, whether it's reading a book, taking a long bath, spending time in nature, or pursuing a hobby you love.
4. Streamline Your Environment
A cluttered and disorganized living or working space can contribute to feelings of stress and overwhelm. Take the time to declutter and organize your environment to create a sense of calm and order. Knowing where things are and having a tidy space can help improve your productivity and promote a greater sense of control over your surroundings.
Consider implementing systems or routines that streamline daily tasks and minimize decision-making. For example, create a meal plan and grocery list to simplify cooking and grocery shopping, or establish a daily schedule to help you stay on track with your goals and priorities.
5. Cultivate Supportive Relationships
Building and nurturing supportive relationships is crucial for taking back your life and achieving happiness. Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you, who support your goals, and who bring positivity into your life. Cut ties with toxic individuals who drain your energy, create negativity, or hold you back.
Invest time and effort into maintaining strong connections with family and friends who share similar values and interests. Seek out communities or groups that align with your passions or goals, as these can provide a sense of belonging and support as you journey towards reclaiming your life.
It's time to take back your life and regain control over your happiness. By setting meaningful goals, learning to say no, practicing self-care, streamlining your environment, and cultivating supportive relationships, you can create a more balanced and fulfilling existence.
Remember, taking back your life is a continuous process, and it requires commitment and determination. Be patient with yourself and celebrate each small step towards regaining control and finding true happiness. Don't let life pass you by - it's time to seize the reins and live life on your terms.

**SECOND EDITION: UPDATED 2018**
Are You Being Gaslighted?
You’re at a party and you notice your husband getting a bit too close to another woman. After the party, you confront him. He tells you to stop being so insecure and controlling; that he’s his own man and if you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have acted like that in the first place. After arguing all night, you end up begging for forgiveness and apologize for the trouble.
Maybe it’s your mom - she’s picking on you like it’s a sport. She’s worried about what you’re wearing, what you’re eating - who you’re hanging out with - but it’s unhealthy. Instead of fighting back, you just suck it up and take it - maybe you’re too sensitive, or perhaps you really are crazy after all. Who can’t take a bit of criticism, anyway?
Or it’s your boss, who told you that you had her support on your latest project, only to backpedal when it’s time to present it to the team. Suddenly, she criticizes you for your poor choices and she’s jumped ship - but when you talk to her later, she tells you it was wrong from the beginning and you need to be more careful in the future. You find yourself wondering if your judgment might really be flawed, after all.
Maybe this stuff doesn’t happen in your life, but for many people, it’s an everyday reality. If you think it could never be you, think again! Some of the most intelligent and capable people are living in painfully toxic relationships with narcissists, and they’re plagued by regular bouts of gaslighting, an insidious form of emotional abuse and manipulation that can be crueler than more obvious forms of abuse because it sort of sneaks up on you.
Because of its insidious nature, gaslighting is one form of emotional abuse that is hard to recognize and even more challenging to break free from. Part of that is because the narcissist exploits one of our greatest fears - the fear of being alone.
This book offers a comprehensive plan for dealing with gaslighting and other forms of narcissistic abuse.
