Your level of resilience will determine whether you feel worthy and capable of your goals and dreams, or unworthy. Failure is inevitable; it is how you choose to respond to failure that will determine your outcomes.

Adaptive Thinking: Debunk the 'Fixed Mindset' in Your Mind

first.. What is Adaptive ?

So, adapting is about 'fitting in'. and that means, Adaptive Thinking is..

'Fitting' the 'mindset' with its 'surrounding'

so, for the 'context' here to put it simply, we can say it.. we 'grouping-the-variable' (from our 'surrounding'). So our perspective/attention can concentrate,  we even can avoid brain fog and think more clearly.

Then.. what is 'Surrounding'?

is it just an in-the-moment/present event that can be considered as a 'surrounding'? well.. there is nothing wrong with that point, but hear me out..

what I mean about "surrounding" here, are actually : your awareness about what's happening to you/others.. and what's gonna come next.

this "awareness" about your surrounding makes you can get easily to think "ahead" (and indeed, you steps ahead figuratively)

rather than observing the present moment that has a vast amount of data, and it's indeed overwhelming.. I recommend you to just recognize the 'Pattern'  [I would write about how to recognize a 'Pattern' in another post...]

when we read the 'pattern', we can make 'options' and make decisions at speed. (or even responding to the problem head-on with a 'readiness' state of arousal) that's why… adaptive thinking is already perfect for us who generally would face such ups and downs, randomized events, and changes.

The Fixed Mind

what makes people become too 'rigid', 'perfectionist', or 'fixed'? what makes them 'unable' to adapt? why??

let's say, we imagine the 'surrounding' as a fish pond. the fish='us' ,and the fish pond='our current surrounding'

we naturally or consciously will fit in the 'pond', we face the problem that is created from the pond, and we try to survive and live a life there too.. we had ambition and a sense of self-worth to be better and get on top of there, we knew how to gain something we wanted because we were really familiar with this pond.... and then...the pond changed-

Fixed-mindedness is really possible to occur when they are trying too much to 'fit in' (in mindset context) and depend on few or even one surrounding for them to survive and face the problem..  they have narrow areas of 'surrounding' that they prefer to focus on and fit in with.

and those make them vulnerable when their surrounding changes. and become numb when it comes to accepting the new circumstances.

and that's why they struggle to be "ahead in-the-moment"

when they always struggling to be ahead in-the-moment, they stop themselves from facing the situation head-on and need to depend on their 'Formulatic solution' based on their own 'rigid structure/ framework' beliefs.

'Formulatic Solutions' exist because general assumption that finding an answer for their problem would be the same as answering a math problem (not really using 'math' but it does depend on instructions and following some guidelines as if it's like a real formula for them to solve their problem without considering other perspective and possibilities)

they would be too 'perfect' or too 'ignorant' with their performance.

this pattern of thinking occurs when they are too dependent on using a 'formulaic solution', its effect can decrease their creativity, adaptability, and independent thinking/think-on-your-feet things.

which would affect the mental/emotional destruction. such as anxiety, worry, overthinking, learned helplessness, burn-out from high stressors, mental block that makes it difficult for them to think, inhibition, self-worth problems, etc.

imagine how they manage to survive in that type of mental setting. no wonder, they need to depend on their social circle too much, since being alone for them makes them more prone to experience depression, burn-out, sadness, worry, isolation/loneliness, unassertiveness, and timidity. (well.. in this case, this individual was the dependent type, some cases can be avoidant too.. depends on their attachment style)

because there is a hierarchy & system in a social circle/group, and that makes it easier to respond to a new change/problem/situation/even dangerous situation,  and that's because: the hierarchy makes the system, which means everyone has their own role to focus on, so they can depend on each other, or it is just the higher-ups that have the most impactful/active role while others are just followers that depend and follow the higher-ups.

In conclusion,

Adaptive thinking is the skill that allows us to effortlessly flow with the ever-changing currents of life. It's the art of recognizing patterns in our surroundings, making quick decisions, and staying one step ahead. By maintaining a dynamic awareness of our surroundings, we equip ourselves with "mental readiness" to navigate the unpredictable and the unfamiliar with confidence that will affect our optimal level of performance.

On the flip side, the 'Fixed Mindset' often emerges when we become too entrenched in our comfort zones, relying on rigid structures, and overusing formulatic solutions. This limited perspective can lead to a host of mental and emotional challenges, from anxiety and learned helplessness to a lack of creativity and adaptability.

In a world that's constantly evolving, the ability to think adaptively can make all the difference in our personal and professional lives. It's a skill that fosters independence, resilience, and the confidence to face new challenges head-on.

So, as we wrap up this exploration of adaptive thinking, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your own mindset. Are you embracing the power of adaptability and the fluidity of thought, or have you unknowingly fallen into the trap of a 'Fixed Mindset'? Recognizing where you stand is the first step toward a more agile and fulfilling journey in a world of endless possibilities.

I really can't stand the idea that fandom community (like starwars stuff i'm usually chillin' in) literally judges characters in manner like “he's evil bc he's evil”. Hey, people aren't just born evil, there always were reasons why people behave one way and not another — subjective how person motivates his actions for himself and objective why person generally has such a worldvision. And it can be UNDERSTOOD.

What makes me lose my shit even more, this is not just about fictional character judging — this is only an accurate projection of the fact that huge amount of people are permanently seeing other's actions and other people like “(s)he's bad bc he's bad and all (s)he does is bad”. For many people even the fact that other people could have just other, not connected to them goals, and achieving 'em can influence other people somehow just as secondary result — is extremely hard to understand, only ”they CONSCIOUSLY wanted me to feel BAD, they just ENJOY me feeling BAD, because they're EVIL”.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to them ”from the inside” to live in such and EVIL and HATEFUL towards them world.

In personal relationships it leads to even more uncomfortable paradigm that — because some conflicts are always unavoidable — one of the two always has to be bad. Like, ”if i'm not right and actually did unconsciously hurt my partner, them I act evil, I turn out BAD?? Oh no, i can't be bad, i know myself, i can't be bad, i'm not enjoying anyone's suffering, y'know, i'm definetely not bad. Well, then, if'm right and not bad, then you must be wrong. And if you're wrong then you're unnecessarily hurting me with your other from mine position, then YOU'RE BAD YOU'RE EVIL WHY DO YOU DO THAT WHY DO ENJOY MY SUFFERING??? YOU ARE COLD-BLOODED MANIPULATOR WHO NEVER UNDERSTANDS ME”.

Omg.

99% of people's actions aren't motivated by conscious intention to do something evil and make someone feel bad for fun (and the left 1% is usually motivated by feeling hurt and this feeling ”YOU will feel even WORSE than i'm feeling now”, it's still not really about doing something bad itself, but about improving one's own condition, where hurting someone else is more of a secondary instrument).

People have their. fucking. own. motivations.

No one is actually waking up in the morning with a plan ”first i have my coffee and then i go and make Pete feel bad”. Even if Mike wants to have coffee, there are no free coffee available in the kitchen and the only that is available is Pete's one, and Mike drinks it instead of *with some effort going to the shop and buying his own*, Mike didn't have the intention to make Pete feel bad, he wanted to have his fucking coffee and feel good HIMSELF.

I'm not saying it's right; it would be perfect if people thought more about how their actions affect others, but people are extremely exaggerating other's wish of making other people, — them, — feel bad; this way of thinking itself is an illustration of natural self-centered thinking, WHY THE FUCK assume other people to be even LESS self-centered (intentionally make other feel bad as a pure motivation is ironically quite selfless) than YOU are?

And judging fictional characters is quite an indicator of how person generally sees that world. Those, who judge fictional world in binary good-evil paradigm probably are seeing the real world quite in a same manner. On the other hand, those, who are analysing the stuff in more complex way, are probably more understanding in other context too.

Something of a natural psychological test.

Fiasko...⠀ ��� Det er et sjovt ord - fiasko - det viser sig, at det kommer fra italiensk fiasco 'flaske (med kurvefletning om). Man tror det blev til fiasko med hentydning til uheld i forbindelse med fremstilling af glasting: Kliir. Det giver mening. ⠀ Der er også mange andre ord for dette; nederlag, flop, fejle. Især det at fejle med betydningen at svigte rammer mig i hjertekulen. Det er det værste jeg kan tænke mig; at svigte nogen, at skuffe, ikke at gøre som lovet eller forventet. ⠀ ⠀ Men hvorfor tale om fiasko? Det modsatte er at lykkes. Lykke - følelsen af dyb glæde over og stor tilfredshed med den (livs)situation man befinder sig i - er det vi alle stræber efter. ⠀ Hvis vi istedet stræber efter egne mål, og anerkender en fiasko som en læringsmulighed, så vil vi være lykkeligere. ⠀ ⠀ Virkelig at fejle er; ikke at lære - at "vokse".⠀ Virkelig at fejle er; ikke at prøve - ikke at gå efter ens drømme⠀ ⠀ Lykken er at føle man er på vej mod sit mål; at føle at man udvikler sig. Det kræver fokus (på læring).⠀ ⠀ #fiasko #failure #ego #danish #dansk #atfejle #morningmeditation #meditation #mindful #growthmindset #fixedmindset #mindset #caroldweck #caroldweckgrowthmindset #attitude #learn #learn #fail #failandtryagain #learningfromfailure⠀ #2020week38 #volume75 #volume55 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXKvqQhbfX/?igshid=15mjxytzejr9k

My current read “mindset” by Dr. Carol S Dweck Recommend to everyone, really. It's easy to understand yet crucial to comprehend the importance of mindset. You don't have to limit or categorize yourself, simply whatever works best for you. Time to throw the concept of "hard work = no talented" & "mistakes = failures" out the door. Learn from them, try, work harder, embrace opportunities. Skills can be trained Attitudes could change We are our own enemies Anyone else read it? Share your views on here or on my blog 🤓 PS: I usually like to state the pro and positivity of things but yes the book could be much shorter with its many repetitive and similar examples but it's still a magnificent concept. The book was published in 2006, over a decade ago. It is the concept that we are learning, focus on the good you'd gain from the book. In short, yes I still recommend it. #psychology #psychologyfacts #psychology101 #growthmindset #fixedmindset #personalgrowth #positivelife #positivemind #Mindset #books #bookreview #bookworm #booklover #booknerd #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #bookaholic https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHU1qrA2s2/?igshid=j5oh30cehl39
