Flexibility. We usually know flexibility in a dancer, a gymnast, sports player etc but have you ever heard of your mind being flexible too? I came across this definition of Flexibility:
"Flexibility is the ability to adapt, to be willing to change, to be open, to bend and to respond with sensitivity."
We mainly focus on our bodies being flexible but so should our minds. When we are born, we are basically a blank canvas with an empty mind. We are taught and we learn things and go the way society leads. But as we grow up, we may still have that way of living and become so accustom to that, that we may look at everyone else who dresses, lives and makes choices that are different to what we think or do and in our minds, we have convinced ourselves that we're right and they're wrong. Try being accepting through differences. Having a flexible mind also allows you to take whatever negative situation you are in and look at it from a different perspective, a more open and positive perspective and instead of reacting to the situation in a downward light, you allow this to change you help you grow.

- Try something new?

Things you can do:

- Free yourself from thoughts of how things are supposed to be and enjoy just being alive.
- Keep in your mind, that things don't always go to plan.
- Don't be afraid to do something different.
- Be accepting of others who do things differently in your eyes.
- Let your mind be open.
It doesn't matter if you're working on that summer body? or comfortable in your own skin? not only does your physical self need taking care of but so does your mind.
