Adaptation and flexibility: The benefits of change

We know that we need to change sometimes, to improve, to be happier, to have a fuller life. But we resist that change, without realizing that, despite everything, change is constant. Even if we try to avoid it, change will enter our lives, and doing nothing does not prevent anything. However, voluntarily initiating change from ourselves allows us to consciously adapt.

Being flexible is the key to change.

The problem that we often face is that changes come unexpectedly and we do not like the new situation. But avoiding it doesn’t stop it from happening.

Things are as they are, life comes as it comes, and you have to adapt. Obviously, changing cities is not the same as losing your job, or even losing a key person. But, in any case, you have to find a way to accommodate yourself, to change your point of view, to mentally adapt to the new situation. This way, we can do what is necessary to live that new life.

Every time changes have to be made, they will bring new knowledge and experiences, which will help us grow as people, become wiser and stronger. But we have to let that change wash over us.

Benefits of change

These are some of the benefits that change can have in your life.

– Personal growth

As we said, changing allows you to have new experiences and learn new things that will help you grow as a person. You will discover new ideas, find new goals and develop new values. And all this will make you live a fuller and happier life.

– Flexibility

The more changes you have to make in your life, the easier it will be for you to accept them. As a result, you will be increasingly flexible and will find it less and less difficult to adapt and change, which will be less traumatic.

– Improve

Change brings us the possibility of improving at all levels. Things don’t get better by themselves if we don’t change something. There is a risk of being worse, but you still have the opportunity to change again, taking advantage of what you have learned from the experience. In any case, without change there is no improvement.

– Value the small

The changes will allow you to value things that you may otherwise not even know exist or believe have no value.

– You will be stronger

Resistance to change is motivated, among other things, by feelings of insecurity and weakness. As you change and adapt, you find that you become stronger and more confident.

– New opportunities

Changes bring with them new opportunities to enjoy life, have a happier existence, meet new people and discover new goals.

– Start again

How many times have you wanted to start over? Only change will allow you that new beginning, whether it is changing your place of work, your place of residence, or simply changing your life habits, your attitude or your values.

Get out of the comfort zone

All these changes involve leaving the comfort zone, a zone that offers us the false security that everything is fine. Deep down, clinging to this comfort zone is a symptom of fear.

The popular expression “the bad that is known is better than the good that is not known” gives us an idea of ​​how limiting this comfort zone is, of how negative life becomes if the only thing we aspire to is not to be worse off. than we are already.

Change gives us the opportunity. Being flexible helps us better fit everything new and everything good that we can find if we try.
