The power of flexible thinking

The strength of flexible thinking lies in allowing us to reinvent ourselves and flow with life's events without hurting or being hurt. In contrast, psychological rigidity sickens, generates suffering (stress, depression, anxiety, hostility), and promotes significant individual and social violence. If you choose to irrationally cling to your dogmas, you will have an impoverished and painful life. A flexible mind strengthens the "self," acts as a protective factor against psychological illnesses, generates well-being and better interpersonal relationships, and brings us closer to a calmer and happier life. If you decide to be flexible, you will take a huge weight off your shoulders by realizing that nothing is predetermined and that you can be the ultimate judge of your own behavior.
