Reframing
Whatever you choose to focus on is your “frame”.
Out of everything that you COULD see, your frame is what you CHOOSE to see.
Reframe problems as opportunities. How can you learn and grow from challenges?
Reframe “negative” qualities as “superpowers”. Just flip the script (perfectionism is attention to detail, being picky is knowing what you like, daydreaming is creativity, etc).
Reframe “I have to…” as “I get to…” (“I have to go to the gym” -> “I get to go to the gym and burn off some stress.”)
Refocusing
Post-it notes with motivations written on them.
Reminders on your phone to help you get stuff done.
A daily or weekly routine to help you re-focus on your goals.
A plan or schedule to follow to help you achieve those goals.
An accountability partner to check in on you and make sure that you’re still on track.
A back-up plan for when things don’t go according to plan.
A way to get quickly back on track and moving forwards again if you slip up.
What do you need to help yourself stay focused?
Resilience
No matter what happens to you, trust that you have the innate ability to survive it and eventually thrive once more.
Be open to the idea that you can learn and change and adapt.
Be open to the idea that you can handle discomfort and even pain.
Be open to the idea that life will never be perfect and you need to keep moving forwards anyways.
Be open to the idea that you’re resilient and stronger than you’ll ever know.
How can you be a bit more resilient and “badass” when facing your challenges?
How can I use the 3 R's?
Reframe - I can't stick to healthy eating.
I get to practise asking for help by finding an accountability partner, and I get to take back control by setting reminders on my phone. I'm not a perfect being, I need to keep moving forward anyway, because I know I can do it.
