Rephrase within...

My dad yelled at me for keeping my room untidy.
My manager screwed me with tight deadlines.

Now rephrase the above sentences

My dad emphasized the importance of tidiness
My manger was so patient to explain me the tight timelines of the project.

Sounds, much assuring right?

Rephrase what ever hard happens to you and find the lighter side of it. Rephrasing also increases your optimism towards life. What ever happens in life has a purpose. If anything bitter happens to you, rephrase the whole context in your mind and explore the other meaning of the incident.

People deprived of sight are natural rephrasers. Their intelligence quotient out smarts average people is an accepted fact. They have this striking capability of rephrasing their weakness to strengths by diverting all their focus in one channel.

To rephrase events is one effective technique of pulling yourself when the chips are down and when the odds are against you. So, jus do it…and feel the difference
