Adding flexibility to your life and thought

adding flexibility to your life

As your body is made flexible through exercising, your mind and thoughts can also be made flexible by following certain life practices. If people around you feel that you mostly think about yourself and do not value their thoughts and matters, then it is time to make yourself flexible. You can only win the hearts of others when you understand their feelings and adjust with them. Rigidity in life can only bring selfishness on the surface and suppress your emotions toward others. Thus, be more open and flexible in your thoughts and actions if you want a happier life.

Adapt well to changing environments

Throughout your life, you will keep being in newer environments that demand you to be flexible and adjusting. While your personality may not support this, it is important to develop tolerance and patience to survive happily in the end. Real power is not in being rigid, but in being flexible in various situations. While many people set complex goals, it becomes even tougher to achieve them if they do not have the ability to be flexible with a change. Forcing yourself against the change will become exhausting at some point. In newer situations, it is better to widen your vision and find options for yourself.

Adjust with little things in life

Even if you are rigid about your principles and values, it is not wise to stay rock solid when it comes to small issues. If you will not even adjust to little things in life, then you may receive the same treatment from others. To make your thoughts and actions more flexible, it is best to start with smaller issues. Once you graduate, you start gaining more maturity and flexibility.

Learn to keep a check on priorities

When you realize to be flexible, you should also be ready to evaluate priorities in varied situations. Take an action if it would lead to the best possible result. Else, learn to adapt and alter your choice to suit the priority in a given situation. For example, you may have the routine to visit a religious place every morning. However, someone in your family may be unwell on a certain day.

In this situation, it is important to evaluate the priority and act accordingly. If that person needs your attention, then think whether it is okay for you to leave the house and do your morning ritual. If you do not evaluate your priority here, then would you not be counted as inflexible and selfish? Will others help you when you would be in need? Think and choose your top priority on all occasions.

Postpone your own desires for your family

A flexible individual always keeps his/her family’s desires before his/her own. Your family should always be your most loved possession. There can be nothing more rigid and selfish than keeping your desires on priority against your family. To gain real happiness, it is important to start sacrificing for the people you love the most. When it is about the needs of your family members, you should always be ready to sacrifice or postpone your own desires and fulfill theirs.

Understand thoughts and manners of other people

what others think

On the way to becoming more flexible, you should also spend some time in understanding how others think and behave. Learn their ways and manners so you may adjust accordingly. Assess their thought patterns so you may synchronize your thoughts with theirs. This is real flexibility when you can alter yourself according to the behavior of others around you. If you are ready to be flexible with people, they will also be ready to adjust better with you.

Summary

Being flexible in varied environments can lead you to happiness. Rigidity only takes people away from us. We receive whatever we are ready to offer to this world around us.
