Description
What It Is:
This is a worksheet titled 'My Circle of Control.' It features a large circle labeled 'I Can Control' and prompts above and below the circle labeled 'I Cannot Control', 'I Will Focus on These' and 'I Will Let Go of These.' The worksheet is designed for self-reflection and emotional regulation.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for late elementary (grades 4-5) through middle school (grades 6-8) and even high school. The concept is relatively simple, but the self-reflection aspect becomes more nuanced with age. It can be adapted for younger students with guidance.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students identify what aspects of their lives they can directly influence and what they cannot. It encourages them to focus their energy on things they can change and to let go of worrying about things outside of their control, promoting emotional well-being and stress management.
How to Use It:
Students should first brainstorm things they can control (e.g., their effort in school, their attitude, their choices) and write them inside the circle. Then, they should list things they cannot control (e.g., the weather, other people's actions) outside the circle. Finally, they can identify what they will focus on and what they will let go of.
Target Users:
This worksheet is beneficial for students struggling with anxiety, stress, or feelings of helplessness. It is also useful for general social-emotional learning activities in classrooms or counseling sessions. Counselors, teachers, and parents can use this worksheet to help children develop coping mechanisms and a sense of agency.
