I was framed! So were you.
We all were.
Were you also looked at through the Frame of COMPARISON? Compared to siblings, other students, other players? Whether you compared favorably or poorly, comparison is... stressful. Seriously dis-ease provoking.
Was family life seen through the Frame of Struggle and Scarcity? Or the Frames of Gratitude and Abundance?
Our Inner Life Interpreter requires frames of reference. They help us make sense of the world. They act as filters... and they also act as limits.
If we evaluate our lives based on the Frame of Success and Failure, then we won't even see all the ways life can be Re-Framed as an Adventure, an Exploration, a Mystical Journey of Discovery of Our Gifts.
See what I mean?
Rather than having our life "framed" for us, Reframing frees us to choose the frames that serve us.
Oh, and that "It's Either Right or Wrong Frame" — yeah, that is one of those 79 cent black and white plastic ones from the Dollar Store. Not useful for Thriving.
Cathy and I will be exploring reframes that better serve our emotional well-being tomorrow (Tuesday). Reframing is a skill. We'll be looking at frames so many of us have and how when we perceive (and re-perceive) our life through more flattering (and useful!) frames, we GET energy rather than lose it.
Consider joining us. Everyone gets the recording who signs up.
