Experts — like behavioral scientists, researchers and psychologists — recommend vocabulary changes that will make you feel more positive and change your outlook on things, by reframing them in a new light.
Key Details:
⦁ Replace “I have to” with “I get to,” and reframe your approach to things with a “can try to” attitude and not a “can’t do” one.
⦁ Omit “should” in a phrase, it puts on unnecessary pressure.
⦁ Turn difficult moments (“why me,” “shouldn’t have,” “I failed”) into “What am I learning from this” moments.
⦁ If things are “complicated,” feel free to say you “don’t understand this right now,” and come back to it later.
⦁ When life serves you “unfair” moments, keep positive with a “I can deal with it” frame of mind.
