Many research studies have suggested work pressure, health concerns, relationships and sleep
deprivation to be major causes of stress. More than 70% people have been regularly reporting
symptoms caused by stress including fatigue, headache, impaired digestion and lower energy
levels.
However, a simple change can help you find something good out of this situation too. This
wonder technique is called positive reframing. In simple terms, positive reframing is consciously
finding something positive even in a stressful situation. While going through a stressful situation,
if we find some good in what happened and try to see things in a positive light, we could cope
better with the situation. What would be the result of this positive reframing? Sheer satisfaction
at the end of the day.
Now many of us would be thinking, how is it even possible to think positively in a stressful
situation? As they say, practice makes a man perfect! Our bodies adapt to different ways with
practice. So, the way we respond to stress can definitely change (with the practice of course!).
Practicing the thought reframing technique helps us in developing the habit of finding good in
each situation. It could be as simple as reminding yourself that the problem could be much
worse than it actually is or there could be a flip side of the story.
Feeling less stressed means you’ll feel less anxious, depressed and frustrated. So, give the
positive reframing technique a try in your daily life and experience the change. You’ll surely feel
healthier, happier and obviously much less stressed!!
