Reframing is a powerful language based NLP tool often taught in NLP Trainings - NLP Practitioner course / NLP Master Practitioner course.
Reframing allows us to recognize the behaviour's intention, which gives us a fresh perspective on the situation.
Its main purpose is to assist a person in gaining fresh perspectives and a better understanding of their situation.
The underlying assumption of this approach is that all actions are motivated by good intentions

There are different forms of reframes.
This technique's foundation is the ability to distinguish behaviour and its purpose as all meanings are context-dependent and may be altered by altering the context of a scenario. One of the basic principles of reframing is that meaning is context-dependent.
Words, actions, and experiences only take on meaning through our assignments of meaning to them, and by shifting the "frame" through which we are seeing them, we shift their meaning.
1- One word reframes:
It involves replacing a not so positive or limiting word in a statement that offers a more positive or empowering perspective.
It is especially powerful at the identity level.
For example, “I am an alcoholic" can be reframed to "I go overboard drinking at times"
2. Meaning reframes:
In this, the content or meaning of a situation or behaviour is changed.
It changes how an individual chooses to respond to the situation.
For example: “Iam a failure because I had to withdraw from my dream course.”
This can be reframed into, "I withdrew from my dream course, but I learned a lot from that experience."
This way, they will shift their view from being a failure to becoming someone who is rising stronger and wiser out of those experiences.
Another example that can be seen on a lighter note:
“I did not achieve my workout goals for this week, Ugh I’m so lazy and I will never get fit.” This can be changed to, “I couldn't achieve my workout goals for this week, as I am perfecting the art of mindful rest like a ninja.”
3. Context reframes:
It refers to looking at a situation from a different point of view while highlighting when a particular behaviour could be seen as useful and positive according to the situation or context.
For example, “I am slow and I overthink everything.”
This can be changed to, “I take my time and think about things and hence make informed decisions and pay attention to detail in my work.”
It helps a person think that these habits are productive uses in their life.
When engaging with individuals, reframing can be quite effective since it alters their way of feeling, thinking, and acting.
It has the power to unlock doors, generate fresh opportunities, and encourage actions that are closer to one's highest inner potential.
Reframing will help us take control of the story we are telling ourselves and give it a more empowering and positive spin, whether we are using it with others or to help ourselves develop better thought patterns.
