Episode 5: Reframing Problems into Solutions: Change

Reframing Problems into Solutions: In this course you will learn mindfulness skills to become more aware of the perceptions you have of yourself, the important others in your life, and the world around you. You will learn to notice your attitude in each moment and how this may be contributing to the perceptions you have. You will begin to examine your underlying motivations for behaving the way that you do to find opportunity in solutions rather than reinforcing problems. You will engage in experiential activities of mindful intention combined with real world experience to challenge preconceived perceptions, attitudes, and motivations that do not serve your purpose well. You will then begin to create intentions of how you would like your life to improve. You will begin to create small, realistic goals to choose changing negative thinking patterns towards positive thought processes and more preferred outcomes. You will practice visualizing in great detail what your preferred future looks like and find awareness in noticing what you are already doing that works, to shift your focus more on what is working and less on what is not. The course will end with practicing empowerment in choice towards focusing on solutions by reframing negative perceptions, attitudes, and motivations into realistic solutions.
