The document discusses the process of reframing negative experiences in a positive light. It suggests that almost any negative situation, such as a mistake at work, paying more taxes, or sabotaging one's success, can be reframed by focusing on the learning experience or silver lining. Reframing is a powerful way to change one's perspective and take control over how experiences are interpreted and their emotional impact. The goal of reframing is to see life as filled with opportunities rather than just problems.

1. THE PROCESS OF
REFRAMING

2. Think about a major
mistake you made in the
last year. You might feel
an instant rush of dread
and regret.

3. But chances are, the
mistake was part of an
experience with more
successes than
failures. And if you
thought about it, might
have been one of the
greatest learning
experiences in the year.

4. Deliberately looking
for the benefits in any
situation is an
important strategy in
reframing.

5. Remember, you are in
control. You’re in
control of how you
view an
experience, the
meaning you assign to
it, the emotion it
creates, and your
reaction to it.

6. Reframing is one of the most powerful ways
to take charge of your life.

7. Here are negative situations and
some possible reframes:
1. “My boss yells at me all the time.”
POSSIBLE REFRAME:
“It’s great to have a boss that cares
enough to tell me how he/she really feels.
I should have been fired.”

8. Here are negative situations and
some possible reframes:
POSSIBLE REFRAME:
“That’s outstanding! I made more money
this year than last year.”
2. “I had to pay $4,000 more in income tax
this year.”

9. Here are negative situations and
some possible reframes:
POSSIBLE REFRAME:
“It’s wonderful that now I’m aware of my
pattern of behavior in the past, I can
figure out how to change it forever!”
3. “Every time I start to get ahead, I
sabotage my success.”

10. Almost every seemingly
negative experience can
be reframed into a
positive. How often have
you said to yourself,
“Someday I’ll look back
on this and laugh.” Why
wait for “someday?” Why
not look back and laugh
at it now? It’s all a matter
of perspective.

11. Have you ever gone
somewhere expecting to
have a bad time and
instead met someone
special or made an
incredible business
connection?

12. Making unexpected
discoveries is one of
life’s greatest treasures.

13. When you start seeing things
differently, you’ll start to see life as filled with
gems to unearth and respond differently.
Then you’ll find that it’s not your situation
that improves… it’s yourself!
