@Thomas Kropf What’s stopping you from using these tools whenever you like?

@Kilian Urban Perhaps practising it more often would help? It could help to establish a routine or evening ritual to develop new ways of responding to external circumstances.

I’m currently working with a class at school that is proving very challenging. The pupils have made it very clear how helpless they feel in the face of their teachers, and they believe that there is absolutely no point in trying to change things. They feel that their teachers have given up on them and aren’t willing to address their needs. In response, I used the 'glasses metaphor' to explain that, although they can't change other people or the current situation, they can change their perspective on it. By reframing things in this way, they in fact have an influence on what happens.

@Katrin Neumann wherr do you feel the most preasure (work, private etc)?

@Carlos javier González Chamorro could ut be that the feeling you mean can be described as being in a state of flow? From Wikipedia: Flow in positive psychology, also known colloquially as being in the zone or focused, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one's sense of time. Flow is the melting together of action and consciousness; the state of finding a balance between a skill and how challenging that task is.
