The reframe mentorship
All too often though they’re (in the cold light of day) inconsequential things. Those irrational nibbling thoughts that sneak in when your subconscious is strongest and your rational mind is weakest.Īgain, sometimes this terror can be serious. For the purposes of this piece a fear is an unlikely and undesired outcome (that scares us) about something in the future that hasn’t happened yet. Let’s make a distinction between a genuine thing to be rightly concerned about, like a health scare, attempting something genuinely dangerous, and a fear. Some of those fears were tangible, real, justified – if you’re going to climb a mountain, then you need to prepare and things can go wrong, of course.īut so many fears we talked about were intangible. One common theme when we were looking at future goals was the role of fear.

#The reframe mentorship how to#
I’m a Life & Business Strategist who supports ambitious (yet exhausted) women like you who want to take their service-based business to the next level without working crazy hours.I teach my clients how to focus on the right things at the right time so they can make more money and still have guilt-free breathing room to enjoy life. Remember, we didn’t come this far to only get this far. Parts of our business will be hard but when we allow our mindset to work for us instead of against us it’s much less daunting. I acknowledged that it was hard but then threw some truth and perspective at it. In that pep talk I reframed my focus from a place of blame (that ‘damn you, FB’ conversation I was having) to a place of empowerment. “You can do hard things. Let your tenacity and intellect serve you. It won't always be hard. You will grow through it.” Instead of swimming in the negativity here what I said – out loud and more than once. I stepped away so I could gain perspective then I gave myself a pep-talk. ( I must acknowledge, could have made an appearance a little earlier but my stubbornness won out for longer than was necessary. This is where my reframing skill set came in and saved the day. Multiply the intensity by about a thousand, feel your head throbbing and your blood pressure rising and that gives you a pretty accurate glimpse of how I felt in that moment. Why did I even think this would be a good idea.” Why do they have to make things so complicated. Here a ‘G-rated’ snippet of what was swirling through my head: I grew increasingly frustrated, the negative thoughts started to swarm, and the cursing session began. There have been a ton of changes since the last time I was in the business manager platform and what was simple on paper was far from it in practice. Yesterday as I sat down to execute on my plan I found myself very challenged. I’ve studied and worked with coaches & mentors in the past to understand how to create effective campaigns along with all the back end tech to make it work but it’s not a skill I’ve mastered… by a long shot. My business is in a growth phase and one of the things on my current action plan is to use Facebook ads to be able to reach and serve more people. I had an opportunity to practice this myself, yesterday.
It’s not a skill that is exclusive to business but it’s definitely one that is beneficial to hone and apply in that part of our life. A powerful skill to have in our toolboxes is the ability to reframe our thoughts because when we latch on to a negative thought it’s incredibly easy for that to spiral into a whole narrative that pulls us down instead of lifting us up.
