What's in My Control?

You are not the manager of the entire universe.

The tiny version

Pause and name what you need right now.

When to try it

Worried, Anxious, Out of control.

What you need

A few minutes. No special equipment or purchases required.

What you need to hear

There is no perfect way to do this. Choose what feels manageable.

Try this

List what you can influence and what you cannot. Take one manageable action from the first list.

Afterwards

Notice what changed, if anything. Choose one small next step or rest.

Journal prompt

What can I do today, and what must I allow to be uncertain?

Keep it comfortable

Adapt or stop if this increases distress. This is a reflective activity, not a replacement for professional support.
