Understanding the concept of the sphere of control can help you learn to identify which things are truly within your control and learn to accept which things you have no control over.

Control
I learned a good mental exercise for determine what I can and can’t control. Mental imagery of the spheres helps with classification and direction of effort.

Things I can’t control
Very helpful to learn most things are out of my control so why stress about them. I must learn to appreciate this and let the thoughts go especially other people’s thoughts as I have no control over them.

Control
I learned that I either have complete control, influence, or no control. Once I determine the sphere I’m in, act accordingly.

Put in perspective!
This refocus and realization was very helpful in reminding myself what is in my control and what isn’t in my control. This strategy/understanding will definitely help in reducing my anxiety and stress.

Who me m? Do i want to control
Worry and control - I hadn’t put the two together but now I can easily see where one drives the other like a two horse team. I’m giving them free rein in my outer world relationships. Saying the Serenity Prayer / doing a reality check by asking myself these questions is responsible and develops me and I can probably stop sone of the undercurrents of anxiousness.

The circles
Control or influence is where I can put in work Outside of that the ocean of frustration must be let go of.
