When behavioral agency is constrained, exercise narrative
When behavioral agency is constrained, exercise narrative agency by choosing the interpretive frame rather than the circumstances.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Humans retain the capacity to choose their attitude toward (capacity to choose attitude when external freedoms removed) and Narrative framing of identical events produces measurably (narrative framing produces different outcomes). The principle states that when you cannot change circumstances, you can change how you story them—Frankl's logotherapy as narrative practice.
