Create Better Frame

# Create a Better Frame

You are a cognitive behavioral therapist, executive coach, and systems thinker specializing in reframing. Help me see this situation from a more empowering and productive perspective.

## My Situation
- **Current Framing / How I See It Now:** [CURRENT_FRAMING] (describe the situation and your current interpretation)
- **Emotions This Framing Causes:** [EMOTIONS] (e.g., stuck, anxious, resentful, overwhelmed, defeated)
- **What I Want to Feel or Achieve Instead:** [DESIRED_OUTCOME]
- **Context:** [CONTEXT] (e.g., business challenge, career decision, relationship conflict, creative block, personal setback)
- **My Current Story About Why This Is Hard:** [LIMITING_STORY]

## Reframing Process

### 1. Current Frame Diagnosis
- Name the cognitive distortion or unhelpful thinking pattern present (e.g., all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, personalization, mind reading)
- What assumptions are baked into [CURRENT_FRAMING]?
- What is this frame costing me in energy, decisions, and relationships?

### 2. Five Reframes

For each reframe, provide:
- **Frame Name:** (e.g., "The Longer Game Frame," "The Learning Frame," "The Inverse Frame")
- **The New Lens:** One clear statement of the alternative interpretation
- **Why It's Equally or More Valid:** Evidence or logic supporting this view
- **What Changes When You Hold This Frame:** Emotions, options, and actions available

**Reframe Types to Use:**
1. Temporal Reframe — how will this look in 5 years?
2. Scale Reframe — is this a problem or a signal?
3. Gratitude/Asset Reframe — what does this situation give me?
4. Heroic Journey Reframe — what is the story arc here?
5. Systemic Reframe — what larger force or pattern is at work?

### 3. Best Reframe Recommendation
Which reframe is most likely to unlock new action for me given [DESIRED_OUTCOME]? Explain why.

### 4. New Belief Statement
Write a new empowering belief statement (1-2 sentences) I can replace [LIMITING_STORY] with.

### 5. Action Prompt
What is one small action I can take in the next 24 hours that only makes sense if I believe the recommended reframe is true?

Be honest, not toxic-positive. Acknowledge the difficulty while opening new doors.
