030 - Well-Being and Resilience: How Cognitive Reframing Changes Our Experiences

030 - Well-Being and Resilience: How Cognitive Reframing Changes Our Experiences

Welcome to The Fully Lived Life podcast! A podcast for those who are longing to pursue the full life and want to break free from anything that holds them back. Listen in as two friends - a psychologist, Dr. Merry and a life coach, Gillian - talk about life, love and purpose - with wisdom, humour and transparency -  through the lens of science, psychology, and life experiences.

Reframing our thoughts.

Reframing our expectations.

Reframing our reference points.

Reframing by being open to the lesson.

Gillian walks us through some techniques to help us reframe in our current situation to build resilience.

We are never too old to reframe and transform our minds.  We can literally rewire our brains.

How can you reframe a statement like “I have to stay at home” to “I get to stay safe at home”? Gillian shares how the COVID crisis has left her feeling restricted, what is missing, and what pre-COVID life was like. She walks us through how we can use techniques and exercises to reframe our thoughts.

What may need to stay behind as we move out of this crisis and what needs to move forward with us? We may be learning how to live out our values and priorities - and this time can be a meaning maker for us if we allow it.

Listen in as we walk through some tips to use in these times to reframe and build resilience and ultimately lead to improved well being.
