Let’s talk about *reframing*.
Reframing is one of those practices that sounds simple, but don’t let the simplicity fool you. It’s a mental power move. It's what happens when you decide you're no longer available for suffering *just because* your first thought was fear, frustration, or doubt.
Reframing is when you pause, zoom out, and *choose* a different lens; one that serves you. Not one that shrinks you, keeps you spinning, or drags your energy down. But one that restores your power, sharpens your perspective, and opens up possibility.
What It Looks Like in Real Life
You ever have one of those days where everything feels like it’s working *against* you?
You’re late. People playing in your face. Something unexpected hits your money, your mood, or your momentum. The old version of you might say, “Here we go again...” or “Why does this always happen to me?”
But when you’re in the practice of reframing, you catch that thought, and you ask:
**What else could this mean?
How else can I see this?
What energy do I want to bring into this moment instead?**
Maybe being late meant you missed an accident.
Maybe the delay was divine.
Maybe the setback is a setup for your realignment.
Maybe this is your initiation — not your punishment.
Reframing is choosing to see with wisdom, not just emotion. And that choice changes *everything*.
Why Reframing Matters
Because your nervous system is listening.
Because your body responds to the thoughts you believe.
Because the story you tell yourself becomes the energy you live in.
When you reframe, you interrupt the autopilot pattern. You shift from victim to author. You stop rehearsing the worst and start relating to your life as something sacred, strategic, and evolving.
Reframing doesn’t mean ignoring your feelings or spiritually bypassing what’s real. It means honoring your human moments *without* letting them define your whole narrative.
You’re not meant to be stuck in survival mode. You’re here to thrive, and every thought you choose is either helping or hindering that process.
So next time you feel that spiral start, take a breath. Reclaim your story. Reframe the moment. And remember: the way you *see* things has the power to shift the way you *live* through them.
