Cognitive turn
A cognitive turn is a change in the way you interpret a situation, yourself or a problem, which opens up new possibilities for action.
Definition
A cognitive turn may occur after an insight, question, new experience, data, or conversation. It means that the old frame is no longer the only one available. In practice, it is similar to reinterpretation: it does not change the facts, but changes the meaning, priorities or possible answers.

Practice and life
Write the problem in the old frame, then rewrite it as a question about a process, a need, or a next step.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to confuse the cognitive turn with forced positive thinking. It is also a mistake to change interpretations without contact with the facts.
