Wayne Dyer: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." That’s the ultimate power of reframing. The same exact event can crush us or refine us. The difference isn’t in what happens - it’s in the thoughts we choose about what happens. Instead of “Why me?” I’m experimenting with “What can this teach me? Where is the growth hiding in this experience?” Pain is still real. Life is still challenging. That’s part of being human. Reframing doesn’t erase difficulty. Reframing helps you look from a different angle than the one that makes you a victim of your circumstances. This past year has been incredibly challenging on multiple levels (and exciting and growth-producing, too). Many times my brain ran the narrative: “I can’t do this. This will not work. I’m wasting my time.” Those thoughts created feelings of hopelessness and defeat. Which led to shutting down. Which led to delaying the process. So, practicing what I preach: I paused, took some cleansing breaths, and reframed... “Okay, Plan A didn’t work. What did I learn? What wants to emerge instead?” That single shift moved me into curiosity, which opened the door to problem-solving and creativity—and from there, new possibilities I never would have seen. Nothing changed externally. Internally though—my thoughts, my feelings, my focus—all shifted. That’s the magic of reframing. What’s a challenge in your life that might hold a different story than the one your brain is automatically running? How could you reframe it into an opportunity for growth or learning? You can’t always control what happens. But you can choose what it means.

Great photo reminder to embrace it all. Everything holds value in the grand balance of the universe.

Look at the shimmer on this labradorite wolf! Crystals bring me joy, I feel their energy meld with mine, and they remind me to connect to the elements. 💞 What is something on this planet that sparks joy in you?
