Mindfulness practice often involves reframing.

You have a mind habit that is well-grooved but no longer helpful—in fact, it’s unkind and restrictive. Yet a slight reframe creates a supportive habit.

Consider the difference between “Can I …?” and “How can I …?”

The first question implies doubt. It limits your view.

The second question widens your perspective.

“Yes, I can do this. Now I just need to figure out how.”

This shift in mind-state opens you to creativity and possibility (including asking for help). It empowers you.

Rather than being mired in indecision, you see a pathway forward.

This week, if you notice yourself asking “Can I do this project?” try to reframe with “How can I do this project?”

There’s empowerment in that small tweak of words. And eventually these 1-degree shifts create large, meaningful change.
