Circle of Control

Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by things outside your control? Maybe it’s your child’s mood, a client’s delayed response, or the never-ending demands of daily life. It’s easy to spiral into frustration, anxiety, or even guilt—wondering if you should have done something differently.

But here’s the truth: peace doesn’t come from controlling everything—it comes from knowing what’s actually within your power and releasing the rest.

That’s where the Circle of Control comes in. This simple but powerful concept helps you shift your focus away from things that drain your energy (other people’s actions, unexpected events, or the past) and toward the things that you can influence—your mindset, your choices, and how you respond.

In this lesson, you’ll learn:

✅ The difference between what’s inside and outside your Circle of Control.

✅ How shifting your focus can reduce anxiety and increase emotional resilience.

✅ A practical exercise to reframe stressors and reclaim your inner peace.
