The Resource Circle

This time it's about an exercise where a good state can be anchored and maintained. This can then be used to experience a less pleasant situation differently. Take some time the first time and follow the instructions step by step somewhere in a quiet place. In the coming days, you can visualize your Resource Circle in front of you while on the go, e.g., on the street, on the way to the toilet, etc., and let it build you up.

1. Visualize a circle on the ground in front of you. Choose a nice color for the circle and think of a positive word that will serve as your anchor (e.g., super, great, awesome, etc.).
2. Now choose a positive and powerful state.
3. Experience this state internally. Ask yourself: What did I see? What did I hear? What did I feel? And immerse yourself completely in this state.
4. Anchor this state with a touch or movement, e.g., clenching a fist.
5. Maintain the state internally, see the colored Resource Circle in front of you, take a deep breath, say your secret word, and step into the circle.
6. Enjoy the state and then step out again.
7. Repeat these steps with other states as often as you like.
8. Then find a difficult situation and step into the circle with the idea of the difficult situation, say your magic word, and take a deep breath.
9. Consider how your perception of the situation has changed.

Metaphor of the Week
The Magician

The Mullah's favorite dish was "Fesenjan" - a dish made with nuts. His wife had promised him the dish, and now the Mullah wanted to get the nuts from the nut jar.

He reached deep into the jar and grabbed as many nuts as he could. But when he tried to pull his arm out, he couldn't. No matter how hard he pulled and tugged, the jar wouldn't let go of his arm.

He lamented and cursed in a way a Mullah shouldn't, but nothing helped. Even his wife pulled with all her might on the jar, but she couldn't achieve anything either.

So the neighbors were called for help, but they only watched the spectacle with curiosity. However, one of them stepped forward and examined the situation closely.

He asked the Mullah how it had happened, and the Mullah tearfully recounted the incident.

Then the neighbor said:
“I can help you. But you must do exactly what I say.”

The Mullah replied:
“I'll do anything if only I can be helped.”

The neighbor first asked the Mullah to push his arm back into the jar. The Mullah found this very strange, as he wanted to get his hand out of the jar, not further in. But he did as he was told.

Then the neighbor told the Mullah to let go of the nuts. The Mullah was annoyed because he wanted the nuts for his favorite dish. Reluctantly, he did as the neighbor asked.

“And now make your hand very narrow and pull it out.”

The Mullah did so and was free. But he was not satisfied.

“I am now free from the jar, but I have no nuts!”

Then the neighbor took the jar, tipped it over, and let out as many nuts as the Mullah needed. The Mullah stood there with wide-open eyes and said:

“Tell me, are you a magician?”
