Welcome to another week of embracing your extraordinary self. Today, we're diving into a topic crucial for enhancing our ability to truly default to excellence: mastering our approach to conflict, stress, and managing our energy. Stress, anxiety, and conflict are inevitable parts of life. How we engage with them greatly influences our overall well-being. When overwhelmed by external pressures or difficult situations, or distracted by media and cultural events, it can deplete our energy, leading us to react emotionally. But with the right approach, we can regain control.

Stephen Covey’s circles of concern, influence, and control, provide a framework for managing stress and sharing natural solutions effectively.

Understanding Covey's Circles

Stephen Covey introduced the Circles of Concern, Influence, and Control to help us focus on what truly matters. Let's explore each circle:

1. Circle of Concern
2. Circle of Influence
3. Circle of Control

Implementing the Framework

To apply this framework, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Sort Concerns
• Step 2: Take Action
• Step 3: Regulate Stress

Reflect and Empower

Here are some coaching reflections to guide you:

• Where am I focusing too much energy on concern, influence, or control?
• What’s one action I can take that’s fully within my control?
• How can I shift from worrying about a problem to influencing or acting on it?

Conclusion

In mastering these circles, you can regain control of your energy, emotions, and decisions. Navigate challenges with wisdom and grace, being open to solutions and learning. As you go about your day, consider what you choose to focus on, and how you can step into your extraordinary self.
