The Circle of Influence: Focus Only on What You Can Control

Mindset Articles

The Circle of Influence is a powerful psychological framework that empowers us to reclaim mental clarity and emotional energy. It’s about regaining control, taking the lead in your own life, and focusing on the things you can actually change. Rooted in proactive psychology and popularized by Stephen R. Covey, it distinguishes between what we care about (the Circle of Concern) and what we can directly influence. By shifting our mindset to focus on what we can control (our habits, thoughts, responses, and daily choices) we strengthen emotional intelligence and reclaim our personal power. When you fully implement this concept, your decisions become more intentional, your boundaries stronger and your stress levels will dramatically decrease. It will change your mindset from helplessness to one of capability. It’s about letting go of what you can’t change and stepping into personal leadership over what is within your control.

Mindset Explained - Wheel of Consent - Giving - Receiving

Wheel of Consent: Build Boundaries & Emotional Connection

Therapy Articles

We live in a hyper-connected but emotionally disconnected world and many of us are operating on autopilot. Saying “yes” when we mean “no,” giving out of guilt or receiving out of obligation. We’ve been taught to value productivity over presence, compliance over communication and politeness over personal truth. It’s no wonder so many of us struggle with boundaries, burn out in our relationships or feel unseen and unheard, even by those closest to us. I’ve seen it in therapy sessions. I’ve felt it in my own life. And chances are, you’ve felt it too. That’s where the Wheel of Consent comes in.

Symbiosis in Relationships: What It Is & How to Deal With It

Therapy Articles

Have you ever been in a relationship where you and your partner almost felt like one person? Where you started saying more “we” instead of “I”. Your partner’s moods dictated your emotions, his or her happiness became your responsibility and the thought of being apart made you feel uneasy or even panicked? This intense emotional bond might feel like love, but it could actually be symbiosis at play. Symbiosis in relationships happens when two people become so deeply intertwined that their sense of self starts to fade. They begin to function as one, making decisions, regulating emotions and even defining their identities through each other. While this may sound romantic, especially in the early stages of love, it can quickly become unhealthy and restrictive if it leads to emotional dependence and the loss of individuality.

Mindset Explained - How to Deal with Toxic People in Your Life

How to Deal with Toxic People in Your Life

Psychology Articles

Not everyone goes through life with the same intentions, values and standards as you. It is an inevitable truth of life that toxic people will occasionally show up on our paths. They can pop up any time, sometimes disguised as “friends”, family members, colleagues or strangers. You might think you attracted negativity and toxicity when you are in a lower vibration and state of mind, but in fact toxic people can show up in any of our lives. We can’t control the presence of toxic people in our lives, but we can control how we respond to them. We have to prepare ourselves, and the most important first step in that is to be able to recognize toxic behaviour. Setting boundaries is the essential next step. By prioritizing our well-being, we can minimize the impact of toxicity and protect ourselves from unnecessary harm. Remember, encountering toxic people is not a reflection of your worth or value, it’s simply a part of life’s journey that teaches us valuable lessons about resilience, self-care, and the importance of surrounding ourselves with positivity and support.
