đź’› Fractal Persona of the Solar Plexus Chakra: The Control Freak
Theme: Fear Disguised as Force, Gripping Instead of Guiding
🪢 A Day in the Life of The Control Freak
I wake already alert, scanning my mental list, checking what must be done and who might get in the way. I keep a tight grip on my schedule, my space, my people. Anything unknown feels like a threat. I don’t trust what I can’t manage. I don’t relax—it feels like losing control.
I micromanage the world because deep down, I fear it might collapse without me. I over-plan, over-think, over-function. I want things to be perfect, precise, predictable. I say it’s because I care—but truly, I’m afraid of chaos. Of surrender. Of being seen without my armor.
People say I’m intense. Rigid. Demanding. But they don’t understand the pressure I put on myself. I can’t let go. Because if I do—who will keep it all together? Who will protect me?
At the end of the day, I may feel exhausted… frustrated… alone. But the thought of surrender makes my stomach tighten. So I grip again. And start planning tomorrow.
