Mental flexibility is a way to open to anything that comes your way. A major disruption in life doesn’t mean you need to get angry and shut down or viewed as a “negative occurrence.”
The root cause of frustration, anger and sadness is inflexibility. Holding onto old ways of thinking causes anxiety and stress. Stubbornness and rigidity keep you stuck in outdated thinking and belief patterns. Live with peace and flexibility.
Six Steps to Flexibility
- Come out of autopilot and slow down
- Become self-aware and pay closer attention to life
- View life from a different perspective
- Instead of getting angry open your heart to love
- Be spontaneous and go with the flow
- Allow life to unfold rather than control everything
Learn to be a better person and adapt mental flexibility to become a better listener, a keener observer, a more skilled thinker and a more effective problem solver. Stop before you respond and think about how your want to respond.
