Rugged Flexibility: Thriving in an Ever-Evolving World

In a constantly changing world, the key to thriving lies in cultivating rugged flexibility. This means being tough, determined, and durable, while also consciously responding to altered circumstances and adapting without breaking. By marrying stability and adaptability, individuals can develop a gritty endurance that not only withstands change, but thrives in its midst. Cultivating an open mind and updating expectations to match reality are essential. Responding rather than reacting to change allows for reflection and strategizing, enabling better decision-making. Behavioral activation, focusing on taking action rather than trying to think positive thoughts, can help overcome inertia and create momentum.
