Hope you&#8217;re hanging in there. So in my last post on <a rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/?p=1245\" target=\"_blank\">worrying<\/a>, i mentioned that i would do a post on the <strong>&#8216;Circle Of Control.&#8217;<\/strong> So, here it is. It is pretty straightforward. But i think it is so very important to remember. I have found that focusing on my own circle of control saves me from anxiety, fear, unnecessary concern, wasting time, wasting effort &amp; energy to a good degree. So be sure to keep this for future reference. Why not make it your own by writing what YOU can control in the circle? You can print it out &amp; do that, then put it on the fridge or somewhere you are likely to see it, or just use the editing apps in your phone. I do that from my phone&#8217;s gallery all the time. <br><br>Now, to balance this out, along with the <strong>&#8216;Circle Of Control&#8217;<\/strong> i have added <strong>&#8216;The Comfort Zone&#8217;<\/strong> I think those 2 can often go well together to help us focus on what we CAN do, to move forward, to make progress, to heal, to rebuild, to move on. I hope it helps you. \ud83d\ude42<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find alot more information &amp; books on Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy &amp; more right <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/?page_id=1280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HERE<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-56369b9\" data-block-id=\"56369b9\"><figure class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-1266\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-16.51.01.jpg\" width=\"736\" height=\"953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-16.51.01.jpg 736w, https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-16.51.01-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-220b4b0\" data-block-id=\"220b4b0\"><figure class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-1265\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_ac64d061-4164-4f44-8598-6e22fe66737120200119_175327.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_ac64d061-4164-4f44-8598-6e22fe66737120200119_175327.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_ac64d061-4164-4f44-8598-6e22fe66737120200119_175327-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_ac64d061-4164-4f44-8598-6e22fe66737120200119_175327-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cleanfunandencouragement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_ac64d061-4164-4f44-8598-6e22fe66737120200119_175327-768x766.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi.
