The third tool to help you change your thinking is the ‘Reframe Principle: Reframe your mind, restore your perspective….You cannot control what happens to you, however you can control how you frame it.’ (C.Groeschel) This tool is sort of like the mantra of “you can’t control what happens to you, however you can control how you respond.” When you catch yourself thinking wrongly about yourself, try looking at the issue from another angle – see what positive you can find in the situation. Whenever I’ve had a negative experience happen, I’ve tried to discover the potential positive action I could take from that, and that positive action or word is what I speak to myself.
