Simple Yet Powerful Reframes
Here are some simple yet powerful reframes on phrases most of us use on daily basis without too much thinking.
I should -> I could… but do I want to?
I have to -> I get to!
They made me feel -> My feelings are my responsibility
I don’t know how … -> How can I …?
Be mindful of the words you speak to define yourself and your situation. What you tell yourself is more often than not, not a fact. It’s simply a story. If it’s a painful one - change it or reframe it.
Reframing is not lying to yourself, it’s choosing to look at things from a different perspective!
