Step #1
Recognize that you have given your power of agency to others. That is, you have give to others, through expectations, the responsibility to solve my problems.
Step #2
Ask Heavenly Father to help you change your inner world tapes so you can take back control of your temple.
Step #3 Practice Praying throughout the day to change the old tapes to match the Saviors thought patterns.
Sample Prayer;
And finally, I am thrilled that I can choose to have a great day, or a sad day, or a worthwhile day , or a stressful day. I am in charge of what I will focus my mind and hear upon throughout the day. I am in charge (or can be) of seeing all things spiritually or just temporally.
I can decide to see the purpose of this day and the purpose of this earth life through my spiritual eyes, and therefore, become empowered to use the day for spiritual growth. I can decide to use the day to play the old tapes (natural man's though patterns) or to replace them with Christ's though patterns. I am in charge of whether I will do all things out of the love I have for Heavenly Father or whether I will let the temporal world tell me what to do and how to feel.
The Savior's atonement has made me free to choose what I will see, think, feel and do this day, this hour and this moment. I have the power to change the old tapes which are resulting in my counseling myself with untruths and bringing about much of my own misery. I want to be happy, so I have to decide to change the tapes to match the Savior's thought patterns and experience the results. As I seek solutions through the spiritual world, the heavens now become available to helping me today and I never will be left alone.
