Great examples, Magic. As with so much, I do far more effectively than I say. This is a wonderfully organized example of reframing.

When I work the *just don't* angles, I end up repressing and the repressed thoughts and emotions re-emerge later, typically at the least convenient moment available, in ever more psychotic forms.

Re-framing helps me take the bull by the proverbial horns and train it to something more beneficial. It works when I work it and is worth the extra effort.

Hi tired I just started yesterday and I’m loving it now I keep looking at everything I do there’s 50% chance will be bad and 50% it will be good it’s kind of cool so anytime a bad thought comes now I just say no no no wait a minute hang on brain why are you only giving me the negative give me the positive also because it’s 50-50 bro so that’s what I’ve been doing honestly just like that and it seems to help me up this morning I started tripping again about if my car broke down on the way to work and then I told my brain there’s only a 50% chance of that happening the other 50 Percent chance says I’m going to make it there with no problem and there you go I hushed my brain from sending negative thoughts to a more positive normal one try something like that

    Sometimes, I think I have ODD.  I can be oppositional.  It seems that the only times that I feel like cleaning are when I should be doing something else or I have to go somewhere.  Well, not everytime but most of the time.  Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table.  Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...

I rarely get to this side of the state since my father was murdered on the east side about 41 years ago. My mom and I rarely went to this side, but I recall she visited the Sommset (www.thesomersetcollection.com/) mall with one of her friends a few years ago. She talked about the...
