Cognitive Reframing Techniques

Cognitive reframing involves shifting one's perspective or frame to change how events are interpreted and to influence subsequent thoughts and behaviors. Reframing can help with thoughts and actions. When facing failure, reframing involves viewing the results as situational rather than an inherent personal flaw, increasing the likelihood of trying again. Reframing one's actions focuses on learning from what doesn't work to find success. Changing thoughts through reframing can open a person up to more opportunities by influencing them to take risks.

Cognitive Reframing

John Perry
Amy Morin,
A Psychotherapist, states…

“The essential idea behind reframing


is that a person's point-of-view
depends on the frame it is viewed in.
When the frame is shifted, the
meaning changes and thinking and
behavior often change along with
it.”
Two Main Areas that
Reframing can help

Thoughts

Actions
Thoughts:
It’s a matter of perspective

 Negatively Internalize Failure


 I am defining my own self worth based around the failure

 I am not good enough…

 I am not Smart enough…

 I am not _____ enough…

 I give myself incentive to not try again.


Thoughts:
It’s a matter of perspective

 View Results as situational (Reframing)


 The Failure is a result of the situation,
not a flaw in character

 Increases incentive to retry.


Thoughts:
It’s a matter of perspective

Blaz Kos, a self-help advisor, states…

“You can’t always control what happens to you, but


you can certainly control how you react to different
situations – no matter how tough your position might
be.

And that’s the ultimate power you always possess.”


Actions:
It’s what you do

 By Reframing we set ourselves up for success

 If we choose to Negatively Internalize Failure the likelihood


that we will try again diminishes with each failed attempt.

 If we view it as situational, we will strive to find the way that


works.
Actions:
It’s what you do

Good thoughts lead to more chances being taken.

 You can’t expect to achieve anything if you never take


any risks.

 Nothing ventured, nothing gained.


Actions:
It’s what you do
In an interview, before the success of the lightbulb, when
asked about the lack of results Thomas Edison said…

“Results? Why, man, I’ve had plenty of results.


I know several thousand things that don’t
work!”
Conclusion

 Change your thoughts. Failures don’t define you.

 Open up to success, Never stop learning

Change your FRAME of mind by REFRAMING
