Learn to be mentally flexible
We tend to dwell on negativity and worry about things beyond our control. But the “control, accept, and now act” (CAN) method can help us think more flexibly and see the world differently. The Wellbeing Works founder Kim Tay tells us more.
A growth mindset makes us mentally flexible. We see effort, challenges and feedback positively, and we aren’t threatened by someone else’s success. Performance coach Ged Robinson explains.
Thinking traps are common thinking habits that drain our energy and lead to poor decisions. Wellbeing expert Kim Tay describes some thinking traps that we all fall into, and tells us how to avoid them.
A good way of learning or getting better at something is to use skills and attitudes you already have.
Read an example of the CAN method, then answer several questions when you face a challenge.
