The Circle of Concern, Influence, and Control is a model that helps people identify and focus on what they can change in their lives. Being able to recognise the difference between the things you can change and those you can’t will help you build your resilience. At times we all focus on things that impact on us but over which we have no influence and control. This reduces our resilience because we expend energy on things we cannot change, instead of investing it in the things over which we do have control.
