The LENS Method: A New Way to Reframe Your Inner World

Episode 612

“You might not control what’s happening around you, but you can decide what still matters within you.”
— John R. Miles

There was a time in my life when everything looked fine on the outside—but inside, I was unraveling.

It wasn’t one big moment that broke me. It was the slow erosion of clarity. The spirals of self-doubt. The emotional reactivity I couldn’t seem to interrupt. I didn’t need someone to fix me—I needed a new way to see.

That’s why I created the L.E.N.S. Framework.

It’s a simple, science-backed tool I developed to help reframe what’s happening inside when the world outside feels like too much.
Because you can’t always change your circumstances.
But you can shift the story you're telling yourself—and what you choose to do next.

In this week’s solo episode, I break down exactly how to use L.E.N.S. in real life. No fluff. No perfection. Just four intentional steps to return to your agency when everything feels out of focus.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, off-track, or like your thoughts are running the show—this one’s for you.

Let’s build the mental fitness to see with intention.
Let’s get Passion Struck—together.

PASSION STRUCK CHALLENGE

Reframe One Thought

This week, notice one story you’re telling yourself—especially the one that loops when you're stressed, stuck, or spiraling.
Label it.
Question it.
Anchor into your truth.
Take one aligned step.

It doesn’t have to be loud.
It just has to be real.

This Week’s Spark: The Power of a Better Story

Your mind is always making meaning.

But not every thought deserves the final word.

Sometimes the most powerful shift starts with a question:
“What am I telling myself right now?”

The stories in your head can shrink you—or set you free.
And when you see them clearly, you get to choose differently.

So this week, don’t just react. Reframe.
Change your lens. Change your life.
Use your L.E.N.S.
See with intention.

Until next time,

Live boldly. Lead with purpose. And always—live Passion Struck.
