Description
What It Is:
This is a 'Circle of Control' worksheet designed to help individuals identify and categorize stressors in their lives. The worksheet begins with a section to list things causing stress. It then presents a table with three columns: 'Things I can control,' 'Things I might be able to change but not right now,' and 'Things I can't change.' The user is intended to sort their stressors into these three categories.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for late middle school (grades 7-8) through high school (grades 9-12) and even for adults. The concepts of stress management and self-awareness are increasingly relevant as students navigate more complex social and academic environments. The language is straightforward, but the activity requires abstract thinking.
Why Use It:
This worksheet promotes self-awareness and stress management skills. It helps users to identify stressors, differentiate between what they can and cannot control, and focus their energy on areas where they can make a difference. This can reduce feelings of overwhelm and helplessness and promote a more proactive approach to problem-solving.
How to Use It:
First, list all the things causing you stress in the provided lines. Then, consider each stressor individually and determine whether it falls into the category of 'Things I can control,' 'Things I might be able to change but not right now,' or 'Things I can't change.' Write each stressor in the appropriate column in the table.
Target Users:
This worksheet is ideal for students, teens, and adults experiencing stress or anxiety. It can be used in individual counseling, group therapy, classroom settings, or as a self-help tool. Anyone seeking to improve their stress management skills and gain a better understanding of their personal control can benefit from this activity.
