Instead of asking… Try Reframing
Why is this happening to me? … What can I learn from this situation?
Why do I feel this way? … What can I do to feel better or take care of myself?
Why am I such a failure? … How can I shift my mindset?
Why am I like this? … How did I develop these traits and coping skills?
Why don’t they like me? … What evidence do I have to support this thought?
Why are they doing this to me? … What is my part in this situation?
