Reflect Reframe Release
Most of us express many different personas in a lifetime. Key among them are the identity formed within our family of origin, the outpicturing of who we become through our formative years, the face we present in our maturity and the travelers we become beyond.
Within each phase we often assume a variety of roles, shaping multiple facets of our personality in the process. Periodically (on the anniversary of our natal day or at the new year perhaps) it is a good thing to not only reflect on who we have been but also to make choices about who we want to be in the present.
To see the big picture we might need to reframe our stories. In the process it is important to make conscious choices about who we want to leave in the picture and which faces and roles don’t fit our framework anymore. When we take steps to release old hurts and dead weight we get a leg up on the next phase of our journey.
A variation of the process is a helpful tool for keeping current in the now –
Analyze Synthesize Neutralize
The next step is not the last step.
It is just the next step.
