We learned about flexible and stuck thinking and some ways to be more flexible.Rock brain thinking means we are stuck in our own point of view, are not considering others, think we are always right, have to have things our way, are impatient, and are not willing to compromise or try new things. Superflex thinking means we are flexible, patient, considerate of others, creative problem solvers, willing to compromise, and willing try new things. We can learn to notice when we have stuck thinking and try one of the following strategies to be more flexible:
Say, "Oh well, maybe next time." Ask for help. Ask to take a break. Listen to other people's ideas. Brainstorm solutions to the problem. Think about the consequences before doing something. Think about how our actions may affect others. Be a good sport. By being Superflex thinkers, we can more easily deal with challenges and disappointments. Comments are closed.
