Your circle of influence
Continuing with reflections on the what we control and influence in our lives. Just inside the circle of concern is another circle. This is our circle of influence. The Circle of Influence encompasses those concerns that we have some impact or influence over.
So go ahead, draw a smaller circle inside your circle of concern.
The actions we take, the things we say and how we interact with out world directly or indirectly impacts things in this circle.
What is in your Circle of Influence?
In mine I might put things like my relationships, the emotional climate of my home, whether or not my children feel supported, just to name a few. I also put my health and mental and emotional wellbeing.
It is powerful and potentially life changing to actually do this exercise for yourself.
Are you unclear about where to put certain things? Do they belong in the Circle of Concern, the Circle of Influence or somewhere else? It is ok to be confused or unclear about where things go. You can move things around later and things can only become clearer once you put your thoughts down on paper.
