Have compassion. Even though Type A’s can be controlling, know they are as tough or tougher with themselves.

Accepting the power to change your life means admitting we cannot always change circumstances or the past, but we can change ourselves. It is within our control to change our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, actions, and reactions. We create our experiences by choosing how we perceive circumstances and events around us.

Focusing on what we have, instead of what we don’t, keeps us in the present moment.

Awareness, Acceptance, Alternatives, and Actions are the four habits necessary to become Type Me.

Without self-awareness, no changes can be made.

Life is about choosing, experiencing, learning, and choosing again.

Living is a verb, not a noun. Joy is found in living our life not just having a life.

At times, you may find you are revisiting the same issue, lesson, or opportunity you experienced before. However, each time we come to the same crossroads, it is different. Life is not linear. I see it as an ascending spiral. Issues or challenges we face run vertically alongside the spiral. We move along the path of the spiral, and we will see reoccurring challenges and issues, but they really are different each time because we are different.

Life is about daily moment-by-moment experiences. Many of us don’t focus on these moments.

The most important aspect of a Type A is they are really scared, although they appear to be confident and in control. Type A’s use tasks, projects, and lists to feel secure.
