Description
What It Is:
A worksheet featuring a circle divided into two sections: 'things that are in my control' and 'things that are out of my control'. The 'in my control' section includes items like 'my actions,' 'how I treat others,' 'my decisions,' 'the amount of effort I put in,' 'how I take care of myself,' 'my words,' and 'how I handle my feelings'. The 'out of my control' section includes 'what other people do,' 'what other people say,' 'the weather,' 'things from the past,' and 'other people's choice' and 'what other people feel'.
Grade Level Suitability:
Suitable for grades 3-8, particularly for social-emotional learning (SEL). The concepts are relatively simple to grasp, but the application requires some level of self-awareness and emotional maturity, making it appropriate for upper elementary and middle school students.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop self-awareness and emotional regulation skills. It encourages them to identify what aspects of their lives they can influence and what they cannot, promoting a sense of agency and reducing anxiety by focusing on controllable factors.
How to Use It:
Students can use this as a brainstorming activity. Discuss each item and its placement within the circle. Encourage students to add their own items to each section. It can be used individually, in small groups, or as a class discussion prompt.
Target Users:
This worksheet is ideal for elementary and middle school students, counselors, teachers, and parents looking to foster emotional intelligence and self-regulation skills. It's also useful for individuals working on anxiety management and stress reduction.
