Imagine, at those times when your day—or your entire life—becomes completely unglued, that you have a friend—compassionate, completely real (no B.S.), and deeply wise—who helps you find the inner strength to assert and reclaim your own peace of mind and clarity of action. That friend is Virginia Ritterbusch’s Reframe Your Viewpoints: Harness Stress & Anxiety—Transform It Into Peace & Confidence.
Ritterbusch’s professional expertise as a counselor/life coach is impressive; she clearly explains how and why self-doubt, anxiety, and helplessness can be so hard to overcome. Essentially, however, as she describes it, her book is a “toolkit … that you can put into practice when you sense anxiety, stress, or tension trying to take over … to achieve a sense of calm and peace.”
And these are high-performance power tools. The core of her approach is re-framing—choosing to take charge of difficult, stressful situations to create better outcomes. She develops this approach—explored through seven different applications—in chapters that work as stand-alone discussions but also align powerfully with each other into a coherent whole. The examples from her own life challenges, the many mini case studies, and the frequent practice exercises and tool applications make the content easy to grasp and apply to one’s own life.
For me, the most powerful parts of her book were the eight positive strategies for creating a more joyful, balanced, and stress-free life. It’s good to have a crutch when just the effort of walking is painful; it’s better not to need the crutch at all.
This is a book I’ll gratefully keep close to hand—like having a close friend on speed dial.
I gained a lot of perspective and solid advice from this little gem. "Reframe Your Viewpoints" is a book for people that struggle with anxiety and negative thought. Packed with valuable tips and action strategies that actually work, this isn’t just another self-help book that gets you pumped up and then forgets about you when the last page is finished. The material is written with genuine “heart” and the author’s voice and personality really shine through to take readers on a journey to discovering the best of what is within.
By following a process known as reframing by psychologists, the author Virginia Ritterbusch introduces readers to a concept that really works: A system to reframe your thoughts and look at the world through a different set of lenses.
The content of this book is well-written and informative. The transition from one chapter to the next has a very natural and flows from one chapter into the next. I do have a list of favorite chapters in this book and they are:
+Our beautiful minds +Let’s explore mindfulness +Connecting to your heart +Reframing: how do you get some?
Bottom line on “Reframe Your Viewpoints” This is a well-researched, well-written book that gets you to take action against anxiety and negativity. Instead of feeling helpless you learn to develop hope. Instead of feeling lost and without answers, it provide you with direction and gets you to discover the solution to your own happiness.
