A Personal Perspective: From puppy havoc to harmony in just a few short days. How can reframing transform your mindset, and what steps can you use for any adverse situation?
Reframing, defined by the American Psychological Association, is a process of reconceptualizing a problem.Reframing empowers individuals to tackle challenges with a newfound perspective, shifting overall well-being.My husband and I recently adopted a sweet and timid 5-month-old puppy from the local animal shelter, who we named Bambi. When we first brought him home, he was terrified of everything and relied on our older dog, Derby, for guidance for weeks.
As of this writing, Bambi has destroyed two expensive duvet covers, several plants , a set of flannel sheets, numerous winter gloves, a mattress cover, and a rug, and has knocked over multiple cups of steaming coffee. I also have a constant array of bruises, each at a different stage of healing, from him jumping at me during playtime.At first, I was annoyed with his tornado-like behaviors. And then I started to get angry. I’d complain about him being out of control.
