What I can and cannot control

This activity can be usual in helping individuals understand what they can and cannot control in their life and help them understand this is okay.

This resource is to help individuals put into perspective what they can and can’t control and learning that it is okay to not be in control over certain things. The activity consists of the individual choosing their cut-out superhero and colouring them in. They will then use the circle of what I can control and what I can’t control, they will put their superhero in the middle of what they can control and write out examples of what they control. Then on the outside of the circle they will write out examples of what they can’t control and discuss why this may be. The superhero can be removed from the activity depending on the age of the individual , instead the superhero could be the individuals mascot. This resource provides a template of the activity, an example of what the I can and can’t control circle would look like once completed and an example of a plain circle of control.
