Page 20 - Needs Model Series: I feel a sense of control
P. 20
We can keep focused on what we can
control
People often think about what they cannot control. This can cause them to
feel trapped and unhappy.
Focusing on what we can control
helps us to feel a greater sense of
control over situations.
For example, during lockdown, people
could focus on what they could control:
they could decide a daily routine, learn a
new hobby and keep in touch with friends through online video. They
could focus on the positives, for example, being able to spend all day
with their pet dog or cat!
