Circle of Control Worksheets

Five worksheets, and the last two pull in opposite directions. One is for the weeks you try to control everything, other people's decisions included. The other is for the weeks you've given up on things that are genuinely yours to change. Plenty of capable people have both kinds of week, which is why I rate this set.

The five

1. Control, influence and everything else: sorting a situation into three circles
2. Pulling your attention back from the things outside you
3. Acceptance, including a short visualisation where you let go of a balloon
4. When you overestimate how much you control
5. When you underestimate it

The middle circle is the interesting one. Influence covers persuading a colleague or putting your view in a meeting: not yours to decide, not out of your hands either.

There's some mindfulness practice woven through. If that isn't for you, the sorting exercises stand up on their own.
