The Zorro Circle: How to Regain Control When You Feel Overwhelmed
In the movie Zorro, the young hero is drowning in chaos—until his mentor draws a small circle in the sand and says:
“Master this space. Only then will you be ready for more.”
Psychologists call this the Zorro Circle technique:
When life feels overwhelming, shrink your focus.
- Organize one drawer.
- Send one email.
- Make one client call.
Each small win builds momentum and self-trust—until you’re ready to expand.
The truth? Overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re weak. It’s a sign you’re trying to control too much, too soon. Shrink the game, regain control, then grow again.
Progress is a spiral, not a straight line.
Good Morning, Money. Start small. Win big.
