Mental and emotional flexibility requires a blend of awareness, openness, and adaptability and can enhance your ability to navigate life’s uncertainties with ease and grace.
Cognitive reframing is when, faced with challenges, you ask yourself, How else can I see this situation? Staying curious helps when you approach life with a beginner’s mind, always asking, What can I learn from this? Avoid “all-or-nothing” thinking; instead, embrace nuance and complexity.
To embody flexibility means adopting a mindset of openness, adaptability, and flow. It’s about releasing rigidity—whether in thoughts, 
emotions, or behaviors—and allowing yourself to move with life’s natural rhythms. This flexibility is both mental (letting go of limiting beliefs), emotional (embracing change with grace), and energetic (being receptive to new spiritual insights).
