Adaptability

Adaptability is the ability to adapt the way you act, think or react to changing conditions.

Definition

Adaptation does not mean passively agreeing to everything. It means recognizing change, assessing new conditions, and correcting responses. In mental life it includes cognitive flexibility, emotion regulation, learning and the ability to update strategies when old ones stop working.

Practice and life

When changing, write down: what has changed, what no longer works and what one strategy I will test in new conditions.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to confuse adaptation with giving up values. It is also a mistake to stick to an old plan just because it once made sense.
