Psychological flexibility is essential for happiness from "summary" of The Happiness Trap Pocketbook by Dr Russ Harris,Russ Harris,Bev Aisbett
Psychological flexibility is like a superpower that allows us to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and resilience. It involves being open, present, and engaged with whatever life throws our way, rather than getting caught up in our thoughts and emotions. This ability to adapt and respond effectively to different situations is crucial for our overall well-being and happiness. When we are psychologically flexible, we are able to step back and observe our thoughts and feelings without getting tangled up in them. This allows us to see things more clearly and respond in a way that is in line with our values and goals. Instead of being driven by our emotions or reacting impulsively, we can choose how to act based on what truly matters to us. Being psychologically flexible also means being willing to experience discomfort and uncertainty in service of our values. It's about being okay with not always feeling happy or comfortable, and being willing to face difficult emotions or situations if it means moving closer to the kind of life we want to live. This willingness to embrace discomfort is what allows us to grow and learn from our experiences. Ultimately, psychological flexibility is about finding a balance between acceptance and change. It's about accepting the things we cannot control, while also taking action to change the things we can. By being flexible in our thinking and behavior, we can adapt to whatever life throws our way and find ways to create a life that is rich, meaningful, and fulfilling. So, if you want to experience true happiness and well-being, cultivating psychological flexibility is key. It may not always be easy, but the benefits are immense. When we learn to be open, present, and engaged with our experiences, we can create a life that is filled with purpose, joy, and vitality. This is the path to true happiness.
