Welcome to REFRAME NOTES, a compelling collection of short stories that explore the power of perspective. Each story delves into everyday situations in which characters face challenges, conflicts, or moments of self-discovery, and through a subtle shift in perspective, they find new meanings and solutions. Following the fast pace of our lives and forms of smiley-message communication, the chosen format of the short stories – «RECORDS» immediately reflects the basis of the problem and solutions to the situations. So, what? Let’s get right down to business

Consider the major themes and concepts of this book:

Change of perspective: each story illustrates how a simple change of perspective can transform a character’s understanding of their circumstances.

Resilience and growth: characters often become stronger and more self-aware after reframing their situations, emphasizing the theme of personal growth through adversity.

Relatable situations: the stories are based on everyday life, making them relatable to a wide audience. Readers can see reflections of their own experiences in the narratives.

«REFREME NOTES is not just a book of short stories; it is an invitation to readers to rethink their own lives and the stories they tell themselves. Through engaging storytelling, it encourages a shift in thinking that can lead to personal transformation. Whether you are looking for inspiration or just a good read, this book offers both in abundance.

Reframing is a psychological tool that allows you to change your perception of a situation, which can lead to positive changes in thinking and behavior.

In the book REFRAME NOTES, reframing fulfills several key purposes:

1. Transforming negative experiences. The main purpose of reframing is to help readers transform negative reactions and traumas into positive lessons and stories. This allows them to realize that even a difficult moment can lead to development and emotional growth.

2. Strengthening emotional resilience. Reframing helps to establish emotional resilience by encouraging readers to find alternative perspectives on their problems. This supports coping and self-confidence measures.

3. Stimulating self-reflection. Each story in the book provides an opportunity for self-reflection. Reframing considers reading about natural settings and how they can change their attitudes, leading to a deeper understanding of themselves.

4. Empathy building. Reframing is empathy building activities, so readers can better understand and take action to support others. This is important for forming healthy relationships and support among peers or in normal interactions.

5. Finding Meanings and Purpose. As a result of rethinking, readers can find meaning and purpose in their relationships. This can help move toward a more positive outlook and strengthen relationships and acceptance of new things.

The purpose of reframing in REFRAME RECORDS is to help readers not only deal with psychological traumas, but also to reach new perspectives that enrich their life experiences. Reframing becomes personal growth and emotional healing, which is especially important not only in adolescence but also in everyday life for all of us.
