Most of your stress does not come from the situation itself. It comes from your refusal to accept what you cannot control.

 

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix sharpens the distinction between inputs and outcomes. You can prepare, act with integrity, and make thoughtful decisions. You cannot dictate how the market responds, how other people choose, or how circumstances unfold. Stress escalates when we pour energy into results that were never ours to command. A simple filter brings clarity: Is this within my control, within someone else’s control, or outside of anyone’s control? If it is not fully yours, the work becomes managing your response instead of chasing certainty.

 

Another thread runs through the conversation. Many of the things that spike our stress are inconveniences rather than true crises. Discomfort feels urgent. Uncertainty feels personal. Yet most of it is temporary and survivable. When you tolerate inconvenience and redirect your focus toward what you can control, resilience strengthens. Control the inputs. Release the outcome.

 

Quotes

  • “We don’t control outcomes. We control inputs.” (04:03 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “What’s really hard is to remove yourself from that outcome and be what we call agnostic to it.” (04:46 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “What’s the best case scenario? What’s the worst case scenario? And is that worst case scenario actually that bad or is it just an inconvenience?” (05:23 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “If it’s not something that is completely and utterly within your control, then we have to figure out a way to let the stress level drop on that particular thing because you can’t control the outcome.” (13:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “You can only control how you treat the other person, how you show up and how you set yourself up for success every day.” (13:47 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
