4. Replace your thoughts with more positive thoughts
When you're looking at something negative, see if you can change your self talk to use less strong negative emotions .
When you're looking at a potentially stressful situation, see if you can view it as a challenge versus a threat.
Look for the 'gift' in each situation, and see if you can see your stressors on the more positive edge of reality: see them in a way that still fits the facts of your situation, but that is less negative and more optimistic and positive.
That's the gist of reframing, and you can do it as often as you'd like.
