ReDefining utilizes a journaling format to explore words and the concepts they represent from a personal perspective. It is a system for rethinking the meanings we assign to those words that influence our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. Following a four-step process, ReDefining helps us restructure the way we think so that we can act in new, more productive ways.

Words contain your history, your possibilities, and your future. ReDefining brings to the surface the self-conscious use of word concepts to explore personal experience. Whether you are conversing with a companion, formally addressing an audience, or silently speaking to yourself, the words you use are a symbol for an idea or concept. Words are nothing more than detailed designs upon a printed page, or distinguished, directed utterances of sound. But, what is contained in their meaning can be compared to the messages within your DNA. As you speak or write ideas, you are defining experience. ReDefining brings you into direct connection with words to explore personal meaning and opens the door for you to expand personal definition - a blueprint for experience.
