Reframing
"That is the best that could have happened."- difficult advice to accept
Not everything that happens to us is positive. No matter how positive we attempt to be, life will sometimes knock us down so bad that we will need to get up. The getting up part could take time.
The T in the BREATHE acronym for outsmarting stress stands for Turn Negative Events Around.
I believe when something negative occurs we need to consider what more negative events could have occurred. Do not just focus on how bad the even it. Really dive deep into what is the worst thing that could have happened.
Once armed with the most negative, we need to take a look at what happened from the side and reframe it as a much better starting point than the worst case. We need to reframe it as a much more positive result. And lastly, develop a plan on how to move to a better result- to turn negative events around.
Today's question is:
"Do you reframe bad results to look for the silver lining?"
