When I first started at the place I work, wee had a conversation in our little training group with our trainer about stress and coping with corporate bullshit and targets and all that - he had been for some kind of stress counselling at one point after a minor breakdown a few years earlier and the counselor employed the metaphor of the hula hoop of control.
I still find myself occasionally thinking - hang on, this is not within my hula hoop of control, i really need to stop fretting about it :P What can \I tackle that is within my control?
