Shifting your mindset to the possibilities of a situation helps you not only while you’re in the midst of a trying time, but it also enables you to reframe future scenarios so you can thrive. Here’s how: Add “yet” When you add the word “yet” after a negative statement, it transforms it into a more positive one, implies that there will be a future solution and that the current situation is only temporary. Swap “have to” with “get to” When you swap out an “I have to” with “I get to,” everything changes. Having to do something feels like a chore; getting to do something feels like a reward. Turn “Yes, but...” into “Yes, and...” When you’re stressed, your reaction to a suggestion might be, “Yes, but...” which shuts things down. Instead, try saying, “Yes, and…” which invites collaboration and builds on ideas. Find the good When you find yourself dwelling on a tough situation, try responding by saying to yourself, “This is good because...” and then list all the ways why there might be a positive angle to the current scenario. Shift from “I’m going through this” to “I’m growing through this” Going through something is deflating and passive, whereas growing through something is action-oriented, positive, and empowering. #career #progress #reframing
