Reframing Techniques in Shifting One’s Mindset
Every one has his or her own mindset. This is shaped by many factors, like, culture, education, life experiences, and so forth.... practically every stimulus received by one. That’s one fact of life; the other is the need to shift one’s mindset when relating to ideas, people and events. An inability to allow space for one’s mindset to be generative causes dysfunctions, uneasy relations and un-happiness. To help us learn techniques in creating windows in our mindsets, SAIDI GSOD offered a workshop entitled “Reframing Techniques in Shifting One’s Mindset”. The 2-day workshop was facilitated by Dr. Rosalina O. Fuentes.
