Part 1- Reprogramming your Brain through Reframing!
Reprogramming your Brain through Reframing
Cognitive reframing is a psychological technique that consists of identifying and then disputing irrational or maladaptive thoughts. Reframing is a way of viewing and experiencing events, ideas, concepts and emotions to find more positive alternatives. In the context of cognitive therapy, cognitive reframing is referred to as cognitive restructuring. Cognitive re-framing, on the other hand, refers to the process as it occurs either voluntarily or automatically in all settings.Wikipedia
The problem is not that we as human beings are inherently bad as such; we are inherently good. The problem occurs when there is a lack of truthful information and knowledge that has been intentionally withheld and restricted from us to keep us dumbed down to who we really are.
Because we build a picture in our heads of how we fit into the world based on lies that we think is the truth, we create our poor choices and actions in life based on our incorrect perceptions of who we really are and that we are inherently bad.
Our poor choices and actions in life come down to our lack of self-worth and self-belief and self-love, and we blame everything outside of us for our unhappiness that .the problem is more that, we have trusted, hoped and believed in the lies, miss-information and deception of the most evil people on this planet, who have through mind control and bullying on many levels, physically, mentally and spiritually, kept us dumbed down with a slave like mentality, unaware of our 12 star family heritage and 12 strands of DNA.
Our perception of our reality is very different to our actual reality. The more unconscious mind control and brain washing you have going on, the bigger the difference between the two. That’s why reframing for me bridges the gap between your perceived and actual reality and lets you connect to who you really are
Reframing for me, is changing the way I look at something. Changing how I think and feel about it. You can actually change the way you behave and react to stuff that used to trap you! introducing new concepts in how we observe and experience the reality around us
Here is a an attempt by me to show the process of reprogramming your brain visually through reframing
Below is a snippet from www.changingyourminds.org website
Thus, for example, you can reframe:
A problem as an opportunity
An impossibility as a distant possibility
A distant possibility as a near possibility
Oppression (‘against me’) as neutral (‘doesn’t care about me’)
Unkindness as lack of understanding
You can often change a person’s frame simply by changing their emotional state, making them happier, more aggressive, etc. When they are happier, for example, they will be more positive and optimistic (and vice versa).
You say it can’t be done in time. But what if we staged delivery or got in extra help? I’m sure we can produce an acceptable product in the timeframe.
It does seem stupid, but it’s also stupid not to look again and see what else can be done.
It’s not so much doing away with old ways as building a new and exciting future.
We have shown we can argue well. Maybe this means we can also agree well.
We make meaning from the world around us by taking a limited number of facts and inferring or assuming other detail to be able to make sense of things. Reframing leaves the facts alone but may well challenge the assumptions.
With care, you can change the other person’s reality without causing conflict.Reframing may also challenge superficial desires, appeal to more fundamental needs and interests. For example a request for a pay rise may be reframed as an imperative to keep talented people.
Reframing may even be done physically and symbolically, for example where a social leader goes for dinner with someone who has hereto been ignored, reframing the person as a friend.Reframing is used in many disciplines to create understanding and motivation.Reframing is a particularly useful method when two or more people are stuck in opposing and seemingly-intractable positions.

A Practical Guide To Reframing Your Thoughts And Making Yourself Happier
October 18, 2012 by Mikey D 48 Comments
“My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes, most of which have never happened.”
What a great quote by Mark Twain. It humorously summarizes something that is so true, so important, and so often ignored.
Our minds are constantly bombarded with negative thoughts, visions of horrible things that may happen to us, and terrifying reasons not to do the things we want to do.
And yet in the end, these horrible things rarely happen. The thoughts cause pain by twisting yourself into thinking that things are not “kol beseder” (everything is ok, or s’all good, in Hebrew).
The worst part is that these thoughts disturb us for so long and we never do anything about them!
Well, that’s about to change.
Luckily, we have a very powerful technique available to us called “reframing”. Reframing involves identifying our unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with more positive or adaptive ones.
When Is Reframing Useful?
You are free to reframe literally any thought you ever have into something more positive.
Of course, if you tried to do that, you’d never have a chance to relax and enjoy life! It’s much better to focus primarily on reframing your negative thoughts.
But if you listen to your thoughts for long enough, you’ll probably notice that there are so many negative ones that it’s still a challenge to reframe them all.
To simplify, I’ve found that there are three main types of negative thoughts that it is most helpful to reframe.
Limiting beliefs. A limiting belief is a thought that prevents you from accepting your full potential. These are the “I’m not good enough” thoughts. The consequences of accepting your limiting beliefs rather than challenging them are severe; you end up notachieving what you want. When youcounter a limiting belief by reframing thoughts based on them, you weaken the belief and reduce the chance of it getting in the way of your goals.
When you wish that something acceptable were better. Have you ever had a really fun night staying in your apartment, butfelt like you missed out the next day when you heard about something cool your friends had done? We tend to beat ourselves up in these kinds of situations, even though we had a good time! Rather than let your mind be filled with negative thoughts, take advantage of this easy reframing situation and enjoy the moment even more.
Specific problem areas. This can often be related to limiting beliefs, but doesn’t have to be. Perhaps you are working on a specific area of your life, such as wanting to lose weight. You want to go to the gym, but it’s raining out and you don’t want to get wet. In this situation, you can use reframing as a way to motivate yourself to go.
When you get down to it, reframing is more a piece of “software” that should be installed in your mind. While you might not reframe everything, you should at least be able to whenever a good situation for it arises.
Principles Of Reframing And How To Do It
There are a few principles to keep in mind when considering the reframing technique.
It is critical that you know and accept these principles before you start actively trying to add reframing to your personal development toolkit. A reframe is far more effective when you understand what’s going on behind the thought.
The first basic principle is that events or situations do not have inherent meaning; rather, you assign them a meaning based on how you interpret the event.
This can be difficult to accept, but you must. Even when something seemingly horrible happens to you, it is only horrible because of the way you look at it.
This is not to make light of tragedy. It’s perfectly ok to be sad when something seemingly bad occurs. That being said, even a “bad” event can be given a “good” meaning.
The second principle is that every thought has a hidden “frame” behind it. The frame is your underlying beliefs and assumptions that are implied by your thought.
For example, when you think “I’ll never get that promotion I want because I’m not a brown-nosed ass-kisser at work”, part of the frame is that only suck-ups get promoted.
The final principle is that there is a positive intention behind every negative thought.
That inner voice of yours that expresses negativity is only doing so because it wants to help you in some way. That doesn’t make the thoughts right or acceptable of course, but it does mean that your inner voice is not an enemy to be resisted.
By finding the positive intentions behind your thoughts, you can work with your mind to find a positive reframe. That is far more effective than chastising yourself for having negative thoughts in the first place!
So, without further ado, let’s get into the actual technique of reframing. At it’s simplest, reframing involves just two steps: observing a negative thought, and then replacing it with a positive one.
