Do you want to change how you live your life? 🙋🏼♀️
There’s one tool that can shift how you feel, think, and experience life—and it’s simpler than you think.
𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴
I LOVE re-framing, and it’s not just a buzzword!
It’s the technique that turns challenges into lessons, stress into clarity, and frustration into opportunity.
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀—everything shifts when you see things through a new lens.
What Is Re-framing?
Re-framing is about shifting perspective. Instead of staying stuck in cycles of blame, anger, or frustration, you actively look for the lessons, the learning, the growth in every situation.
It’s about how you change the words you use and how you view your experiences:
Instead of thinking “This isn’t going my way”, you might ask “What opportunities are here I can’t yet see?”
Instead of focusing on stress, you choose to focus on solutions.
It covers your thoughts, words, actions, and ultimately your life experience.
A Real-Life Example
I have a bungalow in South Wales that’s been rented for 10 years. My original plan was to give the tenants their 6-month notice later this year and then tackle some updates myself.
But life had other plans. Five weeks ago, they handed in just one month’s notice. Boom.
Everything changed in an instant.
The check-out? A disaster. FILTHY. How people live like that is beyond me.
It’s going to cost a lot just to make it presentable. 🤬
Timing?
Not great. I’ve got a lot on until mid-November and can’t travel there myself. Stressful… or maybe perfect timing.
The re-frame? The bungalow is now vacant, ready to sell, and I’ve got an amazing local contact helping me manage it. Suddenly, this curve ball becomes an opportunity.
Re-framing works—really. Instead of getting stressed about something outside of my control, I can see how everything is falling into place instead.
A Spark That Inspired This Post
I received this review yesterday on my Insight Timer track, Re-frame Your Reality: Unlocking Life’s Magic:
"Re-framing key words brings shifts of lightness to both my perspectives and emotions… My whole Wednesday turned around… I am eager to bloom like a blossom as I’ve now been initiated as an IT Follower of Sarah’s sunshine." ☀️💖🌻
It reminded me just how powerful this simple technique can be.
How Re-framing Can Help You
Re-framing isn’t just for mindset—it works for life challenges, career decisions, and yes… even property opportunities! It shifts stress into clarity, problems into lessons, and setbacks into possibilities.
