In today's episode, Gina continues her discussion of the circle of influence and how to use this concept to your advantage when learning to control and reduce your anxiety. Specific examples of how you can apply the concept of the circle of influence are focused on. For example, how to use the concept of the circle of influence for social anxiety, financial stress, health anxiety and relationship issues are specifically addressed. Listen in and start putting the concept of the circle of influence to work in your anxiety clearing journey today!
In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I dive deep into the second part of our discussion on harnessing your circle of influence to manage anxiety effectively. Building upon our previous conversation, I emphasize the importance of recognizing the distinction between our circle of influence-the aspects of life we can control-and our circle of concern, which encompasses the elements beyond our influence that often lead to unnecessary stress and anxiety.
I invite listeners to visualize a simple diagram where they are represented by a dot in the center of a piece of paper. The inner circle represents the things we have control over, such as how we prepare for social events, our interactions with others, and our overall mindset. In contrast, the outer circle contains aspects that lie beyond our reach, like others’ opinions and reactions. By reframing our thoughts around these circles, we can better allocate our energy to what we can influence, such as preparing for social gatherings rather than worrying about how we might be perceived.
Throughout this episode, I provide practical strategies for various anxiety-inducing situations. For instance, when facing social anxiety, I suggest focusing on specific, manageable goals like initiating conversation with just one new person instead of feeling overwhelmed by the entire event. In professional settings, I discuss how to channel anxiety about work presentations into productive preparation and open communication with colleagues, reinforcing the notion that while we can't control how others react, we can control the quality of our own work.
