What is neuro linguistic programming (Nlp), Reframing

Reframing is the process of changing your perception of a situation in such a way that you see it positively rather than seeing it negatively.

It was called reframing because just like a frame of a picture helps you in seeing the picture the frame you put around the situation lets you see the situation in a different way. The following are examples of reframing which will make the concept more clear.

NLP reframing examples

• If you had some work to do on your computer and in the same time you wanted to read a part of a book you bought then while working on your computer an electrical outage happened, instead of cursing or instead of becoming stressed you can just view this situation as a good opportunity to read the book until the power is back
• Religious people who experience a bad life event can change the frame by believing that God wants to bring them the best even if they can't understand the reason behind their current problem
• If you have lots of work to do then you could consider this a chance to train on using time management skills
• A rainy day could be viewed as a good chance to spend some more time with your family

its not the situation that makes you feel bad,its the frame

As you can see its not the situation that makes you feel bad or irritated but its the frame that you put around it.

Using reframing does not involve being idealistic nor a perfectionist but instead reframing is a healthy way of looking at bad events so that you can take advantage of them.
