Adopt a Flexible Thinking Mindset

Our thoughts are tied to feelings, they’re tied to narratives and stories, and the way we think is going to affect our reality. When we have a rigid way of thinking, we are unable to see the perspective of others and by closing ourselves off from this, we close ourselves off from a different worldview. This rigid thinking will only hurt us in the end.    When we have flexible thinking, we also have more resiliency. We are able to see the world in a more open way, which helps us move forward because our brain is open to the different options it can use to problem solve. If you believe the world is one way, you’re never going to see out-of-the-box solutions.   Flexible thinking is the ability to shift perspective, see things differently, and adapt to changes. Resilience can be built, it’s not given to you, and these are one of the ways you can strengthen it. Through the act of keeping your brain open to learning new things, you’re building up your brain in a way where it can see things differently.   A way to practice flexible thinking on a day-by-day basis is to decide to switch up a regular routine you might have for one day. See how it goes. See what you’ve been taking for granted, and notice what sort of positive, or negative, aspects it might have. It might feel weird at first, but it gives your brain a new stimulus to process.  Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
