Reframing Your Beliefs

Metaphors to Understand the Importance of Reframing Your Old Beliefs to Make New Ones

The Heavy Coat

Imagine you're wearing a heavy Winter coat that has a lining with pockets that are filled with negative beliefs.

You can feel the weight of the coat - so heavy.

This is what it's like to carry around a problem for such a long time.

REFRAME: Take the coat off, let it drop to the ground, walk away and never look back.

GARDEN WEEDS

Negative thoughts are weeds - plants that don't belong. They end up growing roots that choke the rest of the garden.

REFRAME: Remove all of the weeds so that new seeds and plants can be grown in the fresh soil. It's a fresh start.

REMOVING OLD PROGRAMMES

Old software on your phone or computer are like negative thoughts. These need to be uninstalled.

When you delete an old programme, it disappears into the ether. Actively going into the control panel of your computer and removing the old programmes by pressing 'delete' clears up more space for new programmes.

REFRAME: This allows your computer system to operate how you want it to run with the new programmes you choose to install.
