For me personally, this makes me more anxious. As it gives me an incentive to do more than I already do, while I’m already hanging by a thread trying to give what I can. If I’ve done even more of my best and still fail, I feel worse.
As at that point I know for sure that I’m not in control as I can’t change things even when I do everything I can.
For those like me, I try to lower my expectations. If things work out better than expected, that’s still with me on only 100% instead of 130%. If things go south, I just wasn’t giving it my all, I’m still in control.
