Reframing our Intent from Negative to Positive: Committing ourselves to view the world through a different set of lenses doesn't mean we will automatically be successful. We will need to consciously choose to reframe situations over and over again until this new perspective becomes our pattern. Whenever we are upset, we are focused on what we don't want and have attributed negative intent. The easiest way to know if we need to reframe a situation is to ask ourselves if we're upset. If the answer is "Yes", then it's to to reframe it: 1) If upset, calm yourself 2) Focus on what you want to happen 3) Change your beliefs from negative to positive
