Ep #152 - The way you frame and reframe your "old" self and your "new" self will have dramatic effects on the energy you have toward your addiction recovery. Who you used to be versus who you are now - the two people are not the same even though it is still your face looking back at you in the mirror.
Frames are shortcuts that people use to help make sense of our complex world, they provide meaning through "selective simplification," and help us organize our world into explainable and understandable categories. Many of the generalizations we use: religion, gender, race, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, nationalism, etc. are frames that help us place complex ideas into common, simplified categories and we as a species use these every day.
Frames help us to understand and interpret the world around us and explain that world to others. Morals, ethics, values, and beliefs are some of the frames we use to explain ourselves to others and even ourselves.
The issue that can arise is that when we explain, or label, our world we give meaning to what we can consciously pay attention too and eliminate other aspects of the world around us because it doesn't fit our cognitive bias, or because of the way our mind is programmed to delete, distort, and generalize.
Reframing is how we can take circumstances and events, whether past, present, or future, and choose an alternate perspective so that we can experience a more favorable position that leads us toward effective actions and more desirable outcomes/results.
Sound heady? Nah...after 151 episodes you are so ready for a deep dive into frames - because you are on this journey with us and have been preparing for this shifting of perspectives for quite some time. Now how is that for a positive reframe?
Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.
Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, I will call on you.
