In this episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam Quiney discusses the ontology of reframing. He will briefly explain what is the ontological thing happening when we reframe.
Reframing is about choosing how we want to relate to the circumstances of our lives. Most people frame the way they approach, feel about, and relate to life as it shows up.
What a lot of us want to do is figure out how to manage life perfectly, so that we only have to be with the people we find enjoyable or the job that we like doing. In short, we are basically trying to manage the circumstances of our lives to feel the way we want to feel.
It will never work because life is infinite and will continue to find ways in. We can never fully control our circumstances, so trying to manage them puts us on the back foot.
Listen as Adam talks about the good side of reframing or when it is empowering and supportive, as well as the risk of making this like a duality of things. Enjoy the show!
