Reframing is a very simple yet powerful tool to turn negative concepts into something positive

Through reframing you can defuse a lot of negative thoughts and concepts by just looking at them differently.

Challenges instead of problems

I often reframe problems into challenges. By doing this, the problem, which has an inherent negative connotation, gains something of a competitive aspect — where a problem drags you down, a challenge is something you want to solve. Even though people might have an easier time to talk about problems, you can still reframe them easily using How Might We Statements.

Learning opportunities instead of mistakes

Mistakes are most of the time seen in a negative light, but when you. Reframe your mistakes as learning opportunities. You suddenly see the positive aspect of mistakes: a possibility to learn and change.
