I GET TO REFRAME
“replace 'I have to' with 'I get to.' instant attitude shift.”
The Lesson
Simple reframe with instant effect: change 'I have to' to 'I get to.' Exercise becomes privilege, not obligation. Enhancement: imagine you've been dead for a thousand years and got one day back. Suddenly feeding your dog, doing chores, even mundane tasks feel precious. 'I have to feed my dog again' becomes 'I get to feed my dog one more time after a thousand years.' This reframe works instantly because it shifts the frame from burden to privilege. Try it on any obligation you're dreading. The task doesn't change; your experience of it transforms.
Real-World Example
A founder dreads Monday meetings. 'I have to sit through status updates again.' They try the reframe: 'I get to lead a team building something. After a thousand years dead, I'd give anything for one more boring Monday meeting.' The meeting doesn't change. Their experience does. They walk in present and grateful instead of resentful. The team notices the energy shift.
