By Sandeep Kulshrestha

In one of many workshops on Constructive reframing, I requested members to reply the query, “Why me?” and once I noticed perplexed appears to be like on their faces, I stated, “No, I’m not speaking about why me as a query that must be answered in a sufferer mode, however why me as a winner or somebody who used the ability of resilience so as to add worth to individuals, conditions or choices”. In different phrases, I requested the members to reframe the reply to one thing constructive like what labored for them. 

One participant raised his hand and stated, “As a result of I imply what I say and I act upon it on a regular basis” and the opposite spoke, “As a result of I’m compassionate and empathetic” and all of the 15 members spoke many times and the room was crammed with an intense vitality. Mainly, this query asks you to have a look at your self and converse what represents the core of you, your strengths and the way you rejoice life.

Why me? “As a result of I’m distinctive, Nobody else like me ever existed or will exist once more”, stated the participant who spoke final.
