Feeling stuck? Try re-framing

Humans are quick to contextualize. It's easy for us to get trapped in the 'framing' presented before us.

The Art of Spotting Opportunities to Reframe 🖼️:

• Numbers: Relative 📊 vs. Absolute 🔢

  • Is a 10% increase in sales significant? Compare that to an absolute number: "We sold 100 more units this quarter."

• Words: Emotive 💔 vs. Dispassionate 📄

  • Consider "The tragic accident was heart-wrenching" against "The accident resulted in several injuries."

• Images: Vibrant 🌈 vs. Dull 🌚

  • Think of a bright, colorful advertisement vs. a muted, serious public service announcement.

Reframing allows us to shift and play with these frames, helping us see things from different angles and ultimately building a clearer, more accurate picture 🔄

Tips for Effective Reframing:

1. Diversify Your Sources 📚: Get information from various places.

2. Explore Different Causes 🧠: Look beyond the obvious reasons.

3. Think of Broader Outcomes 🌍: What are the long-term implications?

Always challenge yourself: Are the facts and figures presented relatively true, or are they absolute truths?

Questioning what's presented to us and seeking facts help us change our perspective.
