Locus of Control Made Easy

This is truly a powerful and empowering concept. Let's dive into what Locus of Control means. In psychological terms, it is the way people perceive their influence over the world. There are two perceptions, external, and internal locus of control.
Inside Out
If you have an internal locus, you might be focused more on what you have control over, like what you say, what you think, and what you do. This mindset doesn’t always feel good, yet it is the path to empowerment.
How you feel about what’s happened or is happening to you is impacted by where you focus your locus of control.
It can be challenging to recognize our part in how we are responding to the things happening to us. And, most of us tend to have places in our lives that we live in an external locus of control, the “outside-in” approach.
I will explain the entire concept and how this can be an empowering tool in your life toolbox!

Thank you so much for this.

I am glad you liked it :)

Very timely message. When the world feels a little out of control, it's important to remind ourselves "What CAN we control?" Thank you, Lyssa deHart!

[@LyssadeHart]

I know it helps me daily to shift my attention from everything I don't have power over, towards what I do... :)

[@CoachMahdiHussein]

Thank you Lyssa, very useful and awakening content.

[@LyssadeHart]

I am glad you found it useful! I think it neatly sums up what most of us know. And, it does help explain how our thinking gets tangled when our focus is on things we cannot control. Thank you for your comment :)
