It’s Necessary to Reframe. Taking Something Good from a Situation Will Strengthen You and Open Your Eyes to Opportunities.
You have probably heard the word reframe, or reframing. Did you know that “everything depends on how you react to events”? . Well, according to my friend and mentor “Kau Mascarenhas, a great speaker and master of NLP”, the “most important thing is not what happens to you but how you react to what happens to you”.

It is from this point of view that I begin our conversation.
Have you ever stopped to think about how much time we waste complaining about life, the current situation in the country, this and that? Can you imagine how much time we waste lamenting and trying to place the blame always on others or on the situation?
Pay Close Attention!
You, and only you, are the sole responsible for the direction of your life.
Okay, things happen and many of them are beyond our control. But, it is absolutely certain that the energy we put into each thing that happens in our life depends solely on our point of view. It is up to us to choose whether we will remain prostrate and complaining, or whether we will take a different attitude to change, or at least minimize the negative impact of what happened to us.
Example 1:
You woke up in the morning and, upon getting up, you realized that the toothpaste is finished. You are late for work and cannot go out to buy a new one at that moment. You have two choices: Stay in a bad mood all day or brush your teeth anyway, just with water, and head to work.

Example 2:
Job Loss: This is undoubtedly one of the worst examples and experiences a person can have. Okay, it can happen to anyone and often, moments in the country’s economy can inevitably lead to your dismissal. Well, I sincerely believe that very few people are prepared to face such a challenge, but spending a long time lamenting is a big mistake. In this case, it makes total sense to be concerned, but don’t let this feeling immobilize you. One tip: use only 20% of the time to reflect, cry, feel sad, and the remaining 80% on actions to find a new job. Many people could look at this moment and think: Hey! Now I’ll have more time to put that project for my own business into action. I’ve always wanted to have my own business.
Example 3:
You were leaving your house and as you passed someone you knew, you greeted them with a good morning. However, the person did not respond and just moved on. At first, you might think: Wow, what a lack of manners, or even, did I do something wrong for this person to act like that towards me? In reframing, you could think differently: I think they didn’t hear me, or maybe it’s just not a good day for that person, and it certainly has nothing to do with me.
“In reframing, you choose what an event means to you. When things go wrong, you look for what’s good in the situation and give that the most attention. You look for ways to use the situation instead of being a victim of it! It’s that simple.
In very popular language, if life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!

At all times in our life, we have the gift of choosing how we will be affected by events. Definitely, it is not the event itself that has control or that affects us emotionally. What always affects us is how we react to the event.
Reframing is…
…the art of giving a new meaning to the event. It is about seeing the positive side of the event and then focusing on our reactions.
It is not easy. It takes a lot of practice to develop the habit of reframing. Pay attention to the alternatives! Set aside the common tendency to be a victim of circumstances.
So, what are you going to reframe today?
