Exercises for developing mental flexibility🧠

Order in the house - order in the mind 🏡
By tidying up your home, you symbolically make space for mental clarity. At the same time, you see (literally and metaphorically) how much useless or unused clutter has accumulated (beliefs, biases). By clearing out the old, we make room for the new.

Imagine yourself as Socrates and start doubting 🤔
Socrates became famous for his habit of asking questions and his motto "I know that I know nothing." Choose a situation and try not to answer questions immediately, pause for a few moments each time to consider the question. Approach each question from a position of sincere ignorance. Treat it like a piece of food - don't swallow it, chew on it.

Make the familiar unfamiliar 😲
We are all slaves to habits. We perform a significant portion of our daily routine almost unconsciously. Brushing our teeth, commuting to work, while our attention is completely scattered. This experiment will make you perform familiar actions in an unfamiliar way.

🤝 A Tale of Friendship 🤝

Two friends had a falling out, and one of them began speaking ill of the other to everyone they knew. 😡

But then, they calmed down and realized they were wrong. They went to their friend and started asking for forgiveness. 😌

That's when the second friend said: 🗣️

"Alright! I'll forgive you. But under one condition." 🤔

"What condition?" 🤷

"Take a pillow and release all the feathers into the wind." 🕊️

The first friend did just that. They tore the pillow apart, and the wind scattered the feathers all over the village. 🌬️

The contented friend returned to the other and said: 😅

"I've completed your task. Am I forgiven now?" 😄

"Yes, if you can gather all the feathers back into the pillow." 🙄

But as you can imagine, it's impossible to collect all the feathers back, just like you can't retrieve the hurtful words that have already spread throughout the village. 🙅‍♂️🗣️

🍀Qualities that will turn you into a failure🍀

Inconsistency 😉
Successful people move towards their goals step by step. They do not deviate from their ideals, they have higher values, and their words match their actions. They do not change their course due to minor difficulties but rather seek ways to overcome them. The life of a failure resembles a weathervane. They easily succumb to the influence of others, abandoning their beliefs.

Love for gossip 🙊
Only outsiders enjoy listening to and spreading gossip. Essentially, it's a defense mechanism that allows them to overlook the lack of something interesting in their own lives. If you gain a reputation as a gossip, you won't be trusted, and without trust and friendships, success cannot be achieved.

Chronic pessimism 😞
From time to time, many people see life in dark colors, but if for you, the glass is always half-empty, if there is no happiness and joy in life, sooner or later, people will turn away from you. Such pessimism suffocates and paralyzes. If you don't see the beauty of the world, fail to notice goodness, and don't appreciate each day, it means you are limiting yourself.

Lack of ambition 💪
Not aspiring to anything, not doing more than required, not exerting additional effort — the motto of failures. This is a harmful "toxic" quality. Therefore, most people avoid interacting with those who don't want anything and just go with the flow; they remain isolated.

👙 Stained Laundry 👚

The homeowner glanced out of the window and saw her new neighbor doing her laundry and hanging it out to dry. However, it seemed she didn't wash it well - dirty stains were clearly visible on the white clothes. 😬👀

She shouted to her husband: 🗣️

"Go take a look! Our neighbor is so sloppy. She doesn't know how to do laundry!" 😤

In the meantime, she shared with her friends, saying, "I have a new neighbor, but she can't even do laundry properly." 🙄

Time passed, and once again, the homeowner saw her neighbor hanging laundry with stains on it. 🧺

Once again, she went to gossip with her friends, and they also wanted to see for themselves. 👭👀

They came into the yard, looked at the laundry, but it was pure white without any stains. 🤔

Then one woman said, 🤨

"Before you criticize someone else's laundry, maybe you should clean your own windows. Look at how dirty they are." 😅

Recognize internal obstacles 💪
Don't blame others, downplay their life difficulties, or exaggerate your own. Focus on what you can change, on yourself. Each of us is responsible for our behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Take responsibility for your life and figure out what internal obstacles prevent you from becoming who you want to be.

Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses 📝
Try to understand how positive traits are connected to negative ones. Significant life changes are built on the basis of your existing strengths of character. Analyzing personality traits may take a lot of time, but it will be beneficial.

Remember that changes will encounter resistance 💥
For example, a person who decides to stop drinking alcohol will encounter resistance from those with whom they used to drink. People may try to sabotage your changes simply because your changes remind them of their own shortcomings.

Don't expect others to praise you immediately 🌟
Those who constantly seek approval from others are not changing their lives for themselves but for others. Trying to please other people is a bottomless pit because expectations will constantly change depending on the environment. It could also be a sign of codependency or narcissism.

🌟 The Simple Choice 🌟

There was a person who was happy their entire life. They always smiled, laughed, and nobody ever saw them sad. Sometimes, people would ask them various questions about it:

"Why are you never sad? How do you manage to be joyful all the time? What's the secret to your happiness?"

The person would typically respond:

"Once, I was as sad as you. And then it hit me: it's MY choice, MY life! I make this choice - every day, every hour, every minute. Since then, every time I wake up, I ask myself:

'Well, what will I choose today: sadness or joy?' And it always turns out that I choose joy." 😊
