Another technique, "reframing" functions through "changing the way you perceive an event and so changing the meaning. When the meaning changes, responses and behaviors will also change. Reframing with language allows you to see the world in a different way and this changes the meaning. Reframing is the basis of jokes, myths, legends, fairy tales and most creative ways of thinking."<ref name="Joseph O'Connor">{{cite book|author=Joseph O'Connor|title=NLP: A Practical Guide to Achieving the Results You Want: Workbook|publisher=Harper Collins|year=2001}}</ref> There are examples in children's literature, for example, [[Pollyanna]] would play [[The Glad Game]] whenever she felt down about life, to remind herself of the things that she could do, and not worry about the things she couldn't. Alice Mills also says that this occurs in [[Hans Christian Andersen]]'s story where to the surprise of the [[ugly duckling]], the beautiful creatures welcome and accept him; gazing at his reflection, he sees that he too is a swan.<ref name="Mills 1999">{{cite book|author=Alice Mills |title=Pollyanna and the not so glad game|type= Children's Literature|publisher=Storrs|year=1999|volume=27|pages=87, 18}}</ref> Reframing is common to a number of therapies and is not original to NLP.<ref name="Sharpley 1987"/>{{rp|103–107, 105}}

An example of NLP reframing is the "six-step reframe"<ref>Beale, M. NLP Techniques: Six Step Reframing. https://www.nlp-techniques.org/what-is-nlp/six-step-reframing/</ref> which involves distinguishing between an underlying intention and the consequent behaviors for the purpose of achieving the intention by different and more successful behaviors. It is based on the notion that there is a positive intention behind all behaviors, but that the behaviors themselves may be unwanted or counterproductive in other ways. NLP uses this staged process to identify the intention and create alternative choices to satisfy that intention.
