Cognitive Reframing — Negative to Positive
A discussion and practice on shifting attention from what is wrong to what is wanted, framed as a choice available in any moment rather than a personality trait. Concrete techniques are taught: milder wording in place of harsh self-description, and looking for the solution rather than dwelling on the size of the problem. Pairs with the handbook's work on positive mental habits.
- Reframing is not for circumstances that need changing rather than rereading; used on real hardship it becomes a way of telling people their problems are their outlook
