How to use it
- Choose a concern and break it into smaller parts if that helps.
- Place each part in direct action, influence, outside my control, or unsure.
- Choose one realistic next step, or decide that no action is needed now.
Reflection prompts
- Which item was hardest to place?
- Could any item belong in more than one area?
- What support would make the next step more possible?
Facilitator guidance
Use three categories to avoid a false control/no-control binary. Acknowledge systemic limits, dependence on others, and situations where action is unsafe or unavailable.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Sort picture cards or objects instead of writing.
- Use a spoken discussion with three physical locations.
- Add an unsure or revisit-later area.
