Reframing
Taking the essence of what another person says and "translating it" into concepts that are more helpful
When the other person starts to head down a destructive path in the conversation re-framing gets you back on track.
Context vs Content Reframing
Context: What you think about the situation
Content: What is being said
They go hand in hand because the content or meaning of a situation is determined by what you choose to focus on (context).
Reframe how you think about conflict
Reframe how you think of conflict
Take a moment to think about a conflict you are currently in.
Connect with your attitude towards it.
- Do you think you could grow from it?
- Learn from it?
Are you avoiding it?
- Why?
Word Activity
Think of someone you don’t get along with and write down the adjectives you associate with that person.
Write down a neutral version of that adjective. “Stubborn” can become “strong-willed”. “Lazy” can become “works at sustainable pace”.
Take the neutral words and make them positive. “Strong-willed” can become “confident”. “Works at sustainable pace” can become “energy saving”
Now do the same activity but for yourself.
Part two
Think of negative self-talk about yourself and write down the negative adjectives you associate with yourself.
Write down a neutral version of that adjective. “Stubborn” can become “strong-willed”. “Lazy” can become “works at sustainable pace”.
Take the neutral words and make them positive. “Strong-willed” can become “confident”. “Works at sustainable pace” can become “energy saving”
Sentence Activity
