Reframing

Writer: Andrew J CalvertAndrew J Calvert

There's a different way to look at almost everything


Not bad or good, just different. The better you are at looking at a problem, situation or goal in more than one way, the more likely you are to find a way to improvise, adapt or overcome (to use a phrase) Some common reframes I've come across recently are below


Nervous --> Excited


Frustrated --> Intuitively I know there is a better way


Anxious --> This is important to me


Mental Health --> Mental Fitness


Soft Skills --> Human Skills


This is broken --> How can we make this stronger?



What would you add?

Instead of saying "have to", reframe it to "choose to".


For example, when we say "I have to follow up with these people / organizations", it can feel like a chore.


When we reframe it to "I choose to follow up so that I can add value and transform their lives", you find yourself wanting to do it, not because you have to, but because you choose to.
