Lesson Plan

Master Your Control Zone Lesson Plan

Students will learn to distinguish between what they can and cannot control using the Circle of Control, categorize personal concerns into three zones, and develop one actionable step for an item they can influence.

By focusing on areas within their control, students build resilience, reduce anxiety, and learn to channel energy into constructive actions rather than dwelling on uncontrollable events.
