About this resource
Circles of control offers a visual way to sort a wider set of worries. Placing concerns in different circles can help you choose where to put your time and energy. Having something outside your control does not mean it is unimportant or easy to accept.
How to use this resource
- List a few concerns that are taking up space in your mind.
- Place them in the circles for control, influence or outside your control.
- Choose one small action within your control to focus on today.
An everyday example
You can choose how you prepare for a meeting, influence its discussion by contributing, and still have limited control over another person’s reaction.
