The rule of reframing is an emotionally intelligent technique based on cognitive psychology.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), to reframe means to reconceptualize a problem by seeing it from a different perspective.
A lot of people believe meaningful work is only for people in helping professions, nonprofits, or social impact work. While it’s true that some jobs are engineered for meaning, any job can be meaningful—even (especially) those that our culture might deem “mundane.”
To solve for this, Yale psychology professor Laurie Santos recommends a set of practices, dubbed “re-wirements.” These practices include prioritizing social connection, being other-oriented, focusing on gratitude and blessings, and incorporating exercise into our daily routine.
