The Circle of Excellence

The Circle of Excellence is a technique in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that can help individuals access a state of excellence or resourcefulness. It involves creating a circle on the floor or visualizing a circle in the mind, and then stepping into the circle while anchoring a state of excellence or resourcefulness.

Here are the steps to creating a Circle of Excellence in NLP:

1. Choose a specific state of excellence or resourcefulness that you would like to anchor. This could be a state of confidence, motivation, creativity, or any other positive state that you want to access.

2. Find a physical location to create the circle, or visualize a circle in your mind. The circle can be any size, but it should be big enough for you to stand comfortably inside.

3. Step into the circle while fully experiencing the chosen state of excellence or resourcefulness. This might involve recalling a specific memory or visualizing a future scenario where you are experiencing the desired state.

4. While standing inside the circle, reinforce the positive state by using positive self-talk or other techniques to enhance the experience.

5. Step out of the circle, and then step back into the circle again while fully experiencing the positive state. Repeat this process several times to anchor the state to the circle.

6. Finally, test the anchor by stepping into the circle again and noticing if the positive state is automatically triggered.

The Circle of Excellence can be a powerful tool for accessing positive states of mind and achieving peak performance in various areas of life.
