REFRAMING
helps provide a larger picture of your world, enabling you to perceive your situation differently and positively. Practice Reframing with the following examples:

Example One
Statement: "I wish to have a long term relationship with a lady but all I manage is lots of short relationships, one after the other. I can't seem to hold on to my lady friends. They criticize me saying that I'm restless and unable to relax."

Example One Reframe
Response: "You must be very attractive to women to manage so many new relationships. You sound as if you have so much energy; I wonder whether these women would have satisfied you for long."

Example Two
Statement: "I have too much to do in a very short time and I'm angry at myself because I make so many mistakes. Sure I get a lot done but I forget things and mix my appointments, I'm useless."

Example Two Reframe
Response: "You get a lot done as you said yourself, if you did nothing you wouldn't make any mistakes, you should feel proud of yourself."

Finding Neverland
Click on the title above to visit the movie's site.

Starring: Johnny Depp and Kate Winslett.

A great film in terms of what everyone can learn to achieve through imagination and faith. In his role Johnny Depp uses imagination to help children to recapture joy; while he himself comes to terms with a lost childhood.

A lot of hurt and pain is being processed through play and the use of imagination. And a seemingly hopeless situation where death is the inevitable outcome, imagination and play are used again to ease the process and bring it to completion.

While working to produce the play and living the play at the same time, everyone in the cast undergoes transformation, with ultimately the writer accepting responsibility for himself as well as for others who need him..
