Reframe your experience?

Um innovativ tätig zu sein darf man nicht unter Druck stehen! Das schreibt sich aber viel leichter, als es umzusetzen ist. Arbeitsdruck, Umsatzvorgaben, „Rationalisierung“, Stage-Gate-Termine und 374 Mails pro Tag lassen nicht viel Freiheit. Da habe ich einen Trick für Sie…

Diesen Text habe ich aus einem Mailing von Alan Cohen. Ich denke er ist wichtig, vor allem wenn die Umstände rau und unfreundlich sind und immer mehr werde?

(Zitatanfang) When my Japanese client Yoshi was in elementary school, her teacher asked the students to draw pictures of their moms for Mother’s Day, and she posted them on a bulletin board. Yoshi told her mother about her drawing, which made mom quite happy. When the day came for the students to take their pictures home, Yoshi’s picture was missing from the bulletin board. Someone had taken it. Yoshi feared that she would be punished when

she failed to bring the drawing home, but she finally found the courage to do so. But instead of the reprimand she expected, her mother told her, „You must be a great artist if someone wanted your picture so much.“ Hearing that, Yoshi was relieved, as if she had been let out of jail. Her mother had achieved a monumental reframe that stayed with Yoshi for the rest of her life.
The trick to life is to spin all events and experiences in your favour. The art of reframing calls you to take the facts of a situation and interpret them in a way that empowers you rather than debilitates you. All events are essentially meaningless, or neutral. Nothing is intrinsically good or bad. It is how we look at them that determines our experience of them and subsequently sets us up for the next experience equal to our interpretation of the last one. So choose your interpretations wisely, for they are previews of coming attractions. (Zitatende)

Ja, das hat etwas! Versuchen Sie es einfach. Das wird nicht immer gelingen, das muss man (vor allem Mann) üben aber es ist ein wirklich hilfreiches Vorgehen.

Probieren geht über studieren

Viel Erfolg
