I'm bored so I'm going to type up something boring called the locus of control. I remember in Health class in year 7 or 8 or 9 we had a piece of paper and there were circles. And circles within circles. The first one was the innermost circle and we had to draw or cut & paste drawings in it. It was meant to represent the things that were held closest to us e.g. family, best friends, lovers, and the things we could control in our lives. The next circle was to include things that were still close, but not as close e.g. friends, pets? etc and things that we can't necessarily change or have any control over. This year I've tried to keep the concept in mind - why worry, stress and lose sleep over things that you don't have control over? e.g. about people's opinions of you, your abilities, how you present. It's just not worth the energy. Instead I've been trying to focus on what I CAN do and worry only about the things within my reach. It doesn't mean I'm not looking into the future or planning ahead, just that I'm probably more aware of things I should let go and not let concern me, especially when it's so ahead of time. So having a good night's sleep is a little easier knowing that tomorrow is a new day - and I'll deal with it when it comes.
