The Significance of Mental Flexibility and Emotional Maturity for Health and Well-Being

Dealing with our thoughts and emotions can be very challenging if we don’t know how to manage them. Life becomes miserable in the absence of conscious control of our thoughts and feelings.

Daily thoughts and feelings determine our behavior and habits. Our habits, attitudes, and daily practices define our success or failure in life, as I documented in this story titled 10 Ignored and Tiny Habits Made a Big Impact on My Health and Happiness.

Over the last five decades, I have paid significant focus and attention to improving my cognitive flexibility and emotional maturity.

My goal was to be unflappable in the midst of challenging situations. I understood that setbacks, especially in the form of rejections, never leave us alone from a very young age. All of us, small or big, face setbacks daily. Setbacks are inevitable in our lives.
