We know that adaptability is crucial to maintaining and improving the world around us, and to getting along with others.
In Australia and globally, we have adapted to COVID-19. And in doing so, have decreased the severity of its impact.
Being deliberately adaptable means if something is not working for you, or us, then do it differently.
Sometimes on a personal level, we can miss the target, lose our way, struggle with others, or just can’t seem to get what we want. Some people struggle with personal adaptability more than others.
To be adaptable is to be flexible, resilient, modifiable, conformable and changeable.
This means doing something different. Read that again… adaptability means doing something different.
This could mean anything from risking a relationship by speaking up to maintain your integrity for truth and justice.
Adaptability could mean holding back words we might commonly say in a conversation for they would be pointlessly damaging.
Adaptability could mean reviewing a current strategy that isn't getting desired results, or getting support from someone or something new.
With Darwin's survival of the fittest, adaptability wins—but science also shows us that cooperation has been absolutely vital to the evolution of humankind and other species.
Cooperation and adaptability requires listening, and taking note of feedback.
In healing and therapy we acknowledge that we can’t control others, or the world around us, but we can be the master of our own selves.
It is those who people have an ‘internal locus of control’ (that is, they take responsibility for events that happen to them, both good and bad, and focus on what they can control, and are deliberate in creating their own life), are happier and more successful.
Let me ask you, what feedback are you getting from your body, mind, or others that tells you that something needs to change?
What decision can you make, to help you adapt to this change?
